I was wondering where i could get HVSS suspension for a 1/16 sherman, i kinda want to know where to get it before i get my HL sherman...

Buy a tamiya (or find some one who willing to sell the suspension off one) or buy the individual parts bags from Jason's store

You need a lot of parts, including new tracks. I have some parts for sale if you are interested.

Donwload a tamiya sherman manual and you can see what you need.

You need a log of parts, including new tracks. I have some parts for sale if you are interested.

I heard its possible to use HL M26 Pershing tracks when using HVSS suspension, is that true

Yes, it is.

Anyway, how much are you selling the HVSS parts for?

Although it IS possible to run Pershing tracks on the Sherman suspension, the guide teeth on the Pershing tracks is a lot more narrow that the Sherman ones. That means that the track will have more clearance, (I believe the scientific term is 'slop') between the roadwheels. You couldn't do the reverse, and the Sherman guide teeth are too wide to fit between the Pershing roadwheels. But, if what appeals to you is the different look of the guide teeth, then go for it! I can't remember if the number of track shoes is different between the two tanks (and I'm not at home right now to count them) so maybe someone else has that info.
