Does anyone have experience using their tracks? They look interesting. The translucent effect could be cool for a zombie apocalypsekrieg.

That would be handy, as I just picked up an older Dragon Kett variant (6128) and have a couple of 250's. I'm not looking forward to putting together those tiny bastards, Magic or not.


PS- Just checked the website and it says each set is 4 parts, although each length seems to be just one (even though they're made of many links) per side. Does this mean there are two sets of tracks, i.e., enough to do two vehicles? Anybody know about that?

The tracks, aside from being the first offered by Minor, are newly released products; therefore, asking anyone here that question is pointless.

Let's try this discussion in a couple of months then. I'm interested as I hate trying the fumbly little Pz I tracks, etc. Anything short of DS tracks has my potential vote!

Can the 250 tracks be used on the 251 ?

I assume the four pieces are the two track runs, and the two single pads used to connect the ends of the runs.

You're probably right.

Correct, according to the manufacturer this is what you get. Two track runs of 43 links plus two connecting rubber pads.
