1/16 tamiya and henlong tank track compatibility

Post by yongho »

I bought a Tamiya 1/16 jagdpanther a few days ago. I want to replace the metal track. Henlong or Mato products be compatible?

You'll probably also need to change the sprockets. But that might be a problem because Tamiya motors have a different driveshaft end than Mato and Heng Long.

I've heard that Mato products are compatible with both Henlong and Tamiya tanks! However, I'm not sure, so I'm thinking about it. Thank you!

No, you was either given false information, or miss-heard.
They are compatible with Heng Long and TAIGEN.

Found these tracks on Forgebear website & a review, maybe ask Dave at Forgebear, he’s always very helpful.
Hope it helps you.
