Bullbasket Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Do you mean Tamiya replacements or after market replacements? John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 They're not broken, that's what happens with models. They arrive in pieces, and you build them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Vor!!! Posted June 20, 2017 Author Share Posted June 20, 2017 Its a Asuka Tasca rebox the tracks are vinyl but are in two pieces per side hence two joins instead of one I,m looking for either replacement vinyl or indy link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Do they use the same tracks as the Easy Eight boxing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullbasket Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If you can wait until tomorrow (cos I'm off to bed now), I may have a set left over from the Tamiya IDF M1. I'm assuming that this is the Firefly 1 and not V? John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsman Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If you want vinyl, then AFV Club do some, but probably not long enough for an A4/V chassis. Bronco do a range of indy link track sets that don't cost the earth, but again I don't know offhand if you get enough links for the long chassis. I have some sets in my stash so I can count the links, but not before Thursday now. At worst you could get 2 sets and have plenty of spares for the glacis! Dragon's DS tracks for the long chassis had short inserts to make up the length, so still 2 joins per side but much closer together. Metal types I don't know about: can't afford them!

Ozzy Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I've just got some AFV club tracks for a Tasca M4a1 I'm building and the fit nicely, I've also used panda plastic's set on another I built a while ago. You need a little slack because of the working suspension the first road wheels coming off the sprocket lift up a little, if you keep the idler free of glue you can rotate around to get a good fit. The AFV club set I used was the 83 link track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I've got the Tasca Firefly Vc and I checked the tracks, so when you say that the track has got a chevron, I'm assuming that it's a metal chevron and not a rubber one, which would make it the T54E1 track. As has been said, Bronco do a set but I find then not only fiddly, but a bit on the weak side. I have both the T54E1 metal chevron and the T48 rubber chevron and I'm never going to use them. I'm a dyed in the wool Panda Tracks fan, so if you want either, your welcome, but as I said, they're fiddly. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
