TWO 360 turn on carpet, SEVEN pads came off.
THREE 306 turns on the street.. ELEVEN extra pads came off.
DAMN, this SUCKS.
And AGAIN not any glue residue on the pads.
Looks like the pads are not made of rubber, but made of silicone stuff.
That's probably also the reason why they so damn sticky to the surface.
When do a sharp turn the pads starting to curl up.
They do not slide out like the way they slide in, they curl at the sides and then simply pulled out.
Now I'm very UNHAPPY !! !! !!

And all the companies who are saying: THIS GLUE WORKS ON EVERY SURFACE, they SUCK TOO !!
Should have mentioned...that Gorilla brand stuff doesn't stay flexible...it gets real brittle once it hardens...not sure who their PR crew is..but there is a lot of false statements made...They have one for their "waterproof" duct tape...say it stays on for days ...yeah right...used some on my chain stay as a chain guard...peeled off in one outing
...and it wasn't even raining

If you PM me your address I'll check how much it would be to ship you some of the Goop stuff if you like.

Jackalope,
That would be nice!
Very kind of you.
Although I don't want to spend much more money on this tracks because the tank is driving much better without the pads.
I'm gonna order the full metal tracks anyway.
I'll send you my address in a PM.
I would like to test the Goop if it's not too expensive to get it to Holland.
Thanks for the offer.

The stuff is like $5 or $6 maybe $7 so not too bad, so long as the shipping isn't too much but I'll let you know what I find out.

Thanks for the search Alpha.
But I think I'll order this one...
http://www.rctank.de/Leopard-2A6-metal- ... -or-Tamiya
It's special for the HL Leopard.
I'm not sure the Abrams will fit the on the sprockets of the Leopard because he sells this one for the Abrams.
