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

Have you tried those Kiaser? They really really stink :thumbdown: ....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 :crazy:
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 :lolno: ...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 :lolno:

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

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