Is there any available aftermarket rubber tracks for the Dragon M1A1HA? I'm quite pissed off on its individual track links. It always break! Now I want to replace it with a rubber one.

Trumepter comes with rubber band, they are cheap kits. I would just buy a trumpeter M1 to get the tracks. Probably works cheaper than you get AM tracks if there is any.

That will leave me with extra parts. Anyways, these parts may come in handy. Does the Trumpy one has figures?

Trumpeter M1A1HA has two figures, a loader and a comander...

The Trumpeter band tracks will work with both Tamiya and DML kits just fine. I have done both with these tracks without any problems. Trumpeter does have the problem of all the raised "dots" on the inside pad of their tracks runs though...
