| 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" (...) (25 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. (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

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 (...)

I learned a trick from Chris Moseley when it comes to the need for lots of tread links: You can put in an ordinary chain link (not the wide tread variant) between every two tread links: ##=##=##=##=##= That way, you can make treads that are (...)

| (...) That was my guess. By my analysis, it isn't worth ordering. 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 (...)
