Especially as they'll have link and length tracks instead of those orrible rubber band efforts.


I wouldn't generalize, as AFV Club has some rather excellent rubber bands.


I really prefer rubber band tracks to replicate the live tracks on sherman tanks. Even if you get the runs right using indi tracks, the end connectors are almost impossible to get aligned correctly, so that they are perfectly strait and even. Tasca makes an excellent track in my opinion.

Can't say I've had that problem. Also rubber tracks (if you can even get them to stick together) always look uneven and wobbly to me.
