Greetings all...

Currently working on the M4 HST. And have run in to some problems with the tracks. It seems that they just dont want to fit together. The attatchment points seem too thick and refuse to fit together. I was wondering if maybe stuart tracks could be used on the tractor or if there is any aftermarket tracks available to use.

So...has anyone else run into this problem?

Also...what was the M4 (3in/90mm) designed to pull?

You need Sherman tracks, not Stuart tracks for the M4 high speed tractor. Lots of aftermarket choices available, notably AFV Club.
This version was used most commonly to pull the 90 mm antiaircraft gun (no plastic kit available).
