Default need help finding tracks or building them

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 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/...sstab-1-8.html

1/14th scale http://www.veroma-modellbau.eu/shop/...stab-1-14.html

if you use google chrome as a web browser it translates pages.
