With regard to the tracks do the end connectors pivot at both pins on the real vehicle rather than the fixed connectors of the kit?

Thanks,
Andy

I would suggest people take a look at the kit tracks first rather than automatically go for the aftermarket option, as they are the nicest kit tracks I have experienced.

They are click together and workable. Although each link requires some slight clean up they are easy to put together and I completed both sets within a few hours.

About the new Masterclub metal tracks the question is where can we get the tracks because Sergey dont seems to want to sell them to dealers.

I ask him to add the new sets to my last order but he dont want... so why coming here posting pictures of them?

I ordered one of these from Amazon earlier today. Just forty dollars, including shipping, and no need to buy replacement tracks, how about that? I drew and printed a number of little flag decals last year, and it's from this sheet that I'll choose markings for my vehicle. At this point, I'm sort of torn between two countries: Iraq (Nouri al Maliki's Iraq, not Saddam Hussein's) and South Ossetia.

That guy in the bottom pic looks like a moonshiner, just come down outta the holler from makin' likker!

It only a sample, not for sale. While there is no quantity of sets sufficients, no packing and the instruction on assembly. Perceive as "New products released". Will be soon.
