Other than using Lego or fischertechnik tracks (about equal in
durability) the only option I could come up with is (are) the radio control

Browse under Tamiya, Armor/AFV, 1/16 scale. The 3 older models:
#56004 "King Tiger"; #56003 "Flakpanzer Gepard"; and #56002 "Leopard A4" are
suitable for radio control. Although the bodies of these models are

& tracks gearboxes and may even still come with the gearmotors.
Now the bad news. Have $500 ready.
