I recommend to use pre build tracks or metal tracks. The tracks it include is not that great as long you're very careful with it

I'm about to get this kit. So you suggest to get an aftermarket track setup? I was looking at a metal track set. I've never done armor before so I just don't want to take on more than I can handle. I saw a review that said the track included is tricky to build. So would a buildable metal track kit be better for a new armor builder?

Budget isn't that much of an issue. But I did go ahead and order a metal track set. I just like the idea of heavy duty metal tracks like the real thing. Any suggestions on how to paint the metal links?

unfortunately i dont have any experience with metal tracks but i dont think the process isnt the same as plastic track its best to watch videos on how to paint metal tracks or weather them before proceeding

While the PLA ZBL-09 APC was a nice review, it is linked to the wrong kit/item. 🙂

This not based on the Mk III, can't be. It's a new tool.
