Hi there,
Yes they do, I have them on my tiger also. If you are intending to work it hard I would invest in some sort of brace for the hull and gearboxes.
Cheers,
Ace

Re: Tiger I track compatibility...
Thanks guys.
I'm trying to squeeze the most out of the Pantiger I ordered. If the metal tracks can go I'm my Tamiya Initial, I'll be very happy. That'll be nearly worth the $100 right there, then the guttywuts go in the Trump and maybe I'll turn the inaccurate Panther into a burned out hulk for the battlefield...

Funny that? I did the very same thing with my KT, and they didn't fit, I got some torro sprockets and modded them to make them fit.Eastern Front wrote:Interesting,
I picked up a set for my KT, they didn't work,,,though they were very close.. thought it would be the same for the Tiger.. Go figure?
Cheers!
The only down side to metal tracks is that the tam tensioner won't handle them very well, so i fitted the Daryl turner spring affair and no probs so far
