Tamiya Tracks on sale by TamiyaUSA

Got my tracks yesterday, came in a bigger box then I was expecting.  Next rainy day I will be building these.

Very nice gents! Are we doing grousers or no?

Mine came during the work hour. I had to drive a mile to get it from a UPS service spot. 

It opened to the side like a small kit would. 

If there are lots of wheels or gears, I always go with full bearings to reduce the rolling resistance. Tamiya gives you a yellow sheet explaining how you can easily overheat your motor.  When there are 72 bushings, that's not surprising.  

I have some fifty 850 bearings, but I'll need more.  I don't have 1260 bearings either. That is such a strange size.  Looking forward to building them though. 

Edit: I ordered 120 bearings for $32.  If any fellow trackies need them here is the link: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832642540381.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.62c31802VultRc&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

1260 too: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800723245044.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.16.62c31802VultRc&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

I got this email yesterday too, that seems like a great deal.... What else will go on sale?  Will we see a $499 bruiser again, I missed this the first time.

It's not the Bruiser, but F-350 is sold for $240 at PlazaJapan.  Probably + $100 for shipping to US.  That's $340 for a 3-speed.

I have 2 pairs of tracks I was intending to put on rear of my konghead or Dynahead (which has portals). I didn’t realise I couldn’t leave the front wheels as normal steered and driven wheels? Can anyone just confirm that my 2 pairs of tracks are useless for these models?
