Wow so your original purchase ( if it worked of course) was a really good deal. Maybe higher quality tracks. Someone on here knows.

Better or the same , the metal tracks are expensive so if he is giving you an extra set you got a real good deal. Let us know how it turns out.

Hopfully, we will know for sure once I get the replacement. Im guessing in two weeks.

Torro King Tiger metal tracks are closed pin. Taigen are not.

Which means?
In other words, are torro better?

Mick.

Yes. Like my Tamiya King Tiger metal tracks are closed pin like the real ones. No exposed pin in the middle of the track facing the wheels. The track links are solid where they join.

I have six Taigen tanks with metal tracks. They are all closed pin except for the Porsche King Tiger.
Their metal tracks for the PzIv, T34, Kv1, PantherG, and late model Tiger I are all closed pin. My early model Tiger I has plastic tracks and they are also closed pin.

Their closed pin tracks are excellent. I don't understand why their Porsche King Tiger comes with open pin metal tracks. That tank is so heavy and the tracks are so wide and cleated that the open pin tracks have trouble dealing with the stress of turns when operated on anything but a smooth surface.
