Has anyone made any metal tank treads for 1/16th models?

Sadly not big enough for what I had in mind... and by the sound of things they use non-explosive shells....

I did see a real Chief for sale somewhere lol

I had thought of low heat metal casting puter etc but without rubber cleats they would were out fast.

I'm sure there's a grade of cold cast silicon rubber that would be OK for that job. Mix a bit of pigment if you want them coloured. Try Modern Materials Technology from John Burn

Trouble with a real Chief is that the treads will mess up the roads.

Lol... I will stop my sillyness now.

1/6 scale or 1/4 scale are the ones to go for, plenty of scope for fire power.

going back to the 1/16th scale, the tamiya versions are far better quality and the sound is amazing
