metal tracks

Post by KV1s »

Hi Guys

Had a little peek on e-bay earlier and found a set of metal tracks for my H L KV1s complete with drive sprockets and front idler wheels

Just wondered if i would have to change all the other wheels for metal tracks as i couldn't see any listed ?

as long as you have metal sprockets and idlers the rest should be ok

i think there are some metal arms about or in the not so distance future and they would aid the kv1 no end

that said just the tracks and sprocket set should do the job

one thing that might be needed is to stiffen the suspension a bit as h/longs are renowned for butt sag with metal tracks not heard of a problem with the kv1 though :thumbup:
