Does anyone have a solution to removing the seam line on the end connectors with the Academy rubber band tracks?

Except a sharp blade I don't see any other solution. A tedious work for sure.

Thanks.

There's also using a hot knife. Not a heated knife, but one maintaining a constant temperature. Cuts easier and some flash melts off.

If budget is not an issue: I would replace them with aftermarket .....
Assuming that aftermarket exists for that vehicle ...

An old modelers trick is to use a sanding stick-- it'll remove the seam line quickly without damaging the connector-- you can then paint if desired. Works easily for rubber and vinyl tires too-- and when doing automobile tires (I also build 1/24 scale open wheel racers) it leaves a convincing worn rubber surface.

I have to use box parts. For those times I don't have to use box parts, I have been using metal Fruilmodel tracks.
