Hello all,
What is the best aftermarket metal track manufacturer?
- AK interactive
- Friulmodel
- MasterClub
- Spade Ace Model
So far I've been using Friulmodel, but I've been hearing some people prefer other manufacturers.

I have used MasterClub tracks for several builds and like them. I was a little worried about the small resin pins but you get plenty extra and are easy to work with in my opinion. They are also cheaper than Friuls.

I've used Fruil and Spade Ace,both are comparable but I paid a lot less for Spade Ace,folks also have good things to say about Masterclub.

I like Sector35. They make some links that nobody else does. I have never had to drill them and if you are willing to pay extra you can get them pre-built.

I've used Spade Ace on quite a few vehicles and found them easy to assemble and install. But you can't always go by the track shoe count on the prototype to determine how many to actually use. I find that if you go with the prototype count, they tend to be too long.
