A couple of questions... 1) I know where to get the links you (...) (24 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

| | | | Eric, You've made me sit here and count them!! On the Tiger there are 64 links on each side, however, the Challenger has 74. Obviously, different wheel arangements will call for more or less links. Buying 200 links will give you enough deffy. "grin" (...) (24 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

|
| | | | | :-p Sorry! Thank you very much though for counting. Man, that's going to be expensive! I figured I'd buy 10 sets just to be safe. Approx. $60 will give me enough for two tanks or so! The guy that sits next to me at work is a big time scale modeler. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

| | | | | | All right, I've been following this part with some curiosity .... Where can you get these tank treads? I looked at the LEGO Dacta link that Larry posted, and I'm not convinced that they are the same as the ones Carl used. In fact, I'm pretty sure (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) Although the picture is misleading, I'm pretty sure that it is a combo pack judging by the description. "Item Description: This pack includes 54-Conveyor Belts and 175-Chain Links." -Duane (24 years ago, 25-Feb-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

You can get 36 belt links for $6.50 (or about 18 cents each) You can get 180 small links for $6.50 (or about 3.6 cents each) Using these prices (with a little more accuracy) I get a (...)

I've never really understood why other than friction being the cause. However,the Tiger is geared so that it will (...) (24 years ago, 2-Mar-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)
