Don't know about a sporting event stopping a tank...maybe for some but not for me lol...what "will" stop production of 1/35th scale model tanks dead in their tracks are these shoddy examples of working equipment
MODELKASTEN TRACKS

...Down right waste of money!

Have you tried those Kiaser? They really really stink

....have about the same amount of hours into them as the Fruilmetal tracks....and so far there is only 30 links done

....the positive is that they are well casted....but it goes snowballing downhill from there....microscopic plastic pins go in from each side to join a link....then "IF"...you get through that process...you then have to glue the tooth to each link
Not sure I was lucky to get them in an auction for a pretty low price....because the headache of assembly just isn't worth it

...feel like I should have just paid the extra and got the metal Fruilmetal ..........(Sigh)...live and learn eh
Talk about sucking the life out of a build ...those things are like starving vampires

PS. Forgot to add they are very very very fragile once assembled

The real ones were pretty shoddy Alpa. An armor piercing rifle round could defeat them.

Say no more Giant
This is a photo of a private restoration of a TE KE

The steel on the HA GO isn't much thicker
Have to admit though...some of those Tankettes are pretty cool looking
