Does anyone know where I can find the "off-road" tracks for the M1A2. The ones with rubber inserts won't work for the vignette I have planned and I can't locate any others. TIA.

Not sure what you mean by "off-road" tracks. There are 2 types of tracks used on M1A2s; T158 tracks with solid center guides and T158LL tracks with hollow center guides. Both have rubber track blocks.

T158 tracks:


T158LL tracks:


Both look the same on the side that hits the ground.

Along with the newer tracks Gino mentioned, there was the older original T156 track with chevron style track pads, but they were "rubber" also (image from Prime Portal):



These tracks had guide horns similiar to the older M60 style tracks.
