What is the tracks used for the Canadian ADATS and TUA M113? I read its the Diehl tracks, is there any specific version? What are the options after market tracks?

Thanks in advance.

Some M113 ADATS had the rubber band Soucy tracks fitted instead of the Diehl tracks.

Thanks Jason! I remember your build M113 with a 1 meter turret with the saucy track. Do you mind re-posting it here? Where did you managed to get one? Or build one?

My build was posted on Missing Lynx...but of course the Photobucket image fiasco eliminated my posted images.

The conversion was from Best Value Models...Azimut...in France.

You can get my full M113A3 TLAV build article..."Combat Support" here...
