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.

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 50% longer than before and they
still great on the model!

Of course, this only applies if you have some ordinary chain links to
start with.  ;-)
