Thanks for the compliments Ben. I am going to use the stock tracks on it for now as I have no idea what the sprocket pitch is or anything else so I'll let be on that part for a while till I end up breaking something maybe.

I was running the loader around before the Sabertooth gave out on me and they seemed to work pretty well on the concrete and short carpet. I will run them and see how they hold up now that the model is touching 5lbs and climbing. I have yet to add the fluid to the tank yet so that'll add a little weight. I'm also thinking about sticking a few ounces in the rear if I have enough room to help counterbalance the machine a little better and keep it planted. I know if I propped the bucket up full of 7lbs it got a little tipsy.
