I agree with what Chris says about tracks. The plastic tracks like on my Brummell and Joes Hetzer are a little pricey but are fairly adequet for our Tanks. However some conditions,, such as the desert, wreck havoc on them quickly. I believe the TTS system is the best so far but again, tedious as hell.
