Careful of the snow-thats what happened to my KT in the wet stuff! To much grouped up in the tracks and actually broke the aluminum link at the pin ears...no fun replacing a link in the snow...

Well, that's why I like to use Olaf's armor steel track links. Snow proof, stone proof, mud proof, all proof. Simply assemble and forget. I tested one eye of a link with more than 100 kgs, with no damage....

[Christoffer Ahlfors]

If the track is strong, the breakage will occur somewhere else... I like to run my tracks quite loose for this reason.

[Gerhard Michel]

Yes, that' right. But damage will occur much later and only at much higher load, if at all. Therefore snow, sand and so on will not cause any damage.

Well, my tank had 2 pivot arms broken due to a massive stone in the train drive, and I had to build 2 new arms. This may occur, but is a very rare incident.

Here my accident. It was hardly imaginable that in this sandy ground could be a stone. But there was one! 2 arms were broken (sorry for the non-AT models).





Wet sand can be a very high load for the drive train, and more than one model got broken track links in these grounds. But a tank is a tank, and it has to overcome such events. Steel track links are very helpful for these kinds of missions.
