Hey guys I have looked all over for a track system or just individual track pads for my 1/12 excavator I'm building and can't really make an progress on what is a bullet proof design to make or a sure fire system to buy. I think the biggest.problem is that for some reason its very difficult for me to read these foreign language websites :mad: gets frustrating. So if anyone could help or point me in the right direction I would spend up to $400.00 but that's my limit. Thanks

Looked into.the tank tracks and could not find 1/12 scale tank tracks only smaller 1/16 size.
Also I replied back to the pm I may take that opportunity.
And I'm looking for something a little different from what small haul has I don't think it would fit the look for my application and honestly I searched hard for a while and could not find a solid one straight answer for what has been done with his tracks. Guess i just be a little dumb while I was searching.
No it's your scale. asfik there is like 1-2 1:10 in existence and they are limited run custom built. Not much luck there
but look here. 1:16 and 1:8 and you can even push 1:5 if you so wish

they sell tracks separately. im sure they will sell you sprockets too if not listed on site.

these tracks looks good, they are expensive though (I think).
1/8th scale http://www.veroma-modellbau.eu/shop/technischer-modellbau/kettenlaufwerke/kettenlaufwerke-raupenkette/1-steg-raupenkette-massstab-1-8.html
1/14th scale http://www.veroma-modellbau.eu/shop/technischer-modellbau/kettenlaufwerke/kettenlaufwerke-raupenkette/2-steg-raupenkette-massstab-1-14.html
if you use google chrome as a web browser it translates pages.
thanks for posting those. i ordered some to see if i can use them for my new carriage.
you have to order manually for overseas shipping (email/phone). thomas has no problems with english so all good there.
