I have a question for anyone who has received their HL King Tiger; how are the tracks, do they look reasonably durable?
I am asking because I think I read somewhere that some other brands of KT'1/16 scale r/c's have or had track issues.
HL King Tiger track Durabiity?

Hi,
Tracks seems to be ok even its plastic. However, metal tracks looks better and gives a better weight to the tank when driving in terrain
Cheers

I believe this has been a Matorro King Tiger with the track issue,I have the latest version and will be doing a review in the next day or so. The same shipping issues continue,but I will outline the issues in the review and will include disassembly and reassembly of this King Tiger version.

Thanks
I thought that i read that the Matoro had some problems.
IRC, I read somewhere that the Tamiya KT (possibly and older version) had problems with tracks or wheels, but this may not be correct.
I thought I'd check this out since the next HL, which may be a KY, Panther G or Jagdpanther will be getting an SLU and 3:1's, for IR battles, I don't want to drop that stuff in something and find out it has problems. Hopefully. the KT does not. I have a good track record with my Panther and JP.

The Tamiya King Tiger I have are indoor or side walk tanks,the tracks are fragile,but the wheels were terrible,very unstable unless the bearing mod is preformed,the track tensioning system as designed leaves a lot to be desired.
My Jagdpanther(HL) has metal tracks and the tensioner modification,I need to post the modifications I have just completed to this system,the axles are retained by a grub screw,it has come loose for the last time,using tubing for bushings and a nylon washer between the hub and the tensioner arm I TAPPED the arm to receive the bolt which now acts as the axles inside the tubing used as a bushing.
