Tamiya Tiger I Tracks

So here is the one million dollar question... ( or pounds)

What metal tracks are available for the Tamiya tiger I lower chassis?

I see impact had a set of transport tracks but they are now almost out of the tank game...

I want standard early or late metal tracks

I've been researching this a bit and can't find a definitive answer. I see that at one time Tamiya produced them but they are discontinued sadly.

Will Taigen metal tracks work? Should I just use stock Tamiya plastic tracks?

Thanks in advance for any small bits of information

Cheers

Carl

As my earlier questions about Metal Tamiya Tracks were not answered (viewtopic.php?f=195&t=25197). I have ordered Asiatam T1 Late Metal Tracks (https://www.asiatam.de/product_info.php ... tiger.html) and Asiatam T1 Transport Tracks (https://www.asiatam.de/product_info.php ... 1--16.html). Their Early Metal Tracks are advertised as fitting the Tamiya sprocket (https://www.asiatam.de/product_info.php ... amiya.html), so I thought it might be true for their Late and Transport Tracks as well. The Tracks should be here this week somewhere....?

Sounds great, not that your earlier queries were not answered, but that we are in the same Tamiya track boat and if your theory holds true then I will follow suitthanks for lookingin and sharing your information

Received both tracks today. Both tracks look very well done and seem to fit the Tamiya sprocket just fine. Can't drive around yet, as the Tiger needs replacement torsion bars and new gearboxes from Axel first (Which have been ordered already with other goodies).

Can make pictures of the tracks on request.
