Hi, Guys!
Did anyone have any experience with DEF tracks like that:

How good they are?
Is it a lot of headache or wonderful solution for M88A1?
I can not find any info in the net.
Will appreciate any help.
Thank you!

It is the old (but pretty good) AFV Club tracks with Def Model sprocket. While the box states the sprocket is for M88's as well that is not perfectly true. There is a slight detail difference in the shape of the sprocket ring between the M48/M60 and the M88.
This is however not an issue. The AFV Club tracks will fit the sprocket included in the AFV Club (and Revell re-box) M88 kits. The tracks are pretty good but all links have a sink mark on each inner surface (two per link) that is a bit time consuming to fill and sand (if they bother you). Still, I think they are good value for money.
(As a side note: AFAIK the M48/M60 series and the M88 do NOT share the same tracks in real life. The M88 tracks look the same but are slightly wider and known as T107. This is not a real problem in 1/35 scale and as I stated: the AFV Club tracks will fit the M88 drive sprocket just fine)
