Metal tracks
 
I was thinking when my tank comes in i can make metal tracks for it to replace the rubber ones. There for no more rubber track slipping and with the metal ones just put ruber wheels from a zz on the drive wheels.b45m b35m bg12 bg657 bg395 bbimpb zztbo

would you get any traction with metal though? I dont mean the drive wheels I mean on the actual driving surface, I would think they wouldn't grip and therefor wouldn't be able to climb much.

sure real tanks have metal treads but they also weigh tons, not just a few ounces like there little guys.

I would agree with penguin on this. I think that metal tracks would cause a lot of slippin' and slidin' unless they had little spikes or something. Why go to all that trouble?

yeah there would be little grip thingamgigi like the the kind on the m4sherman in fact that is the kind of tank I'm geting.
