DEF Model is working on the new set of 3D printed tracks for Academy/Tamiya M113... both normal and damaged rubber pad versions are planned as a March release.
A dedicated sprocket to properly fit the AM tracks! I won’t have to chop/trim/sand…
This would be great for those countless M-113 builds I’ve completed. Plus @HeavyArty has a point. Someone should tell DEF to make a T150 track set as well.
I am sure if it sell well they will.
What timeframe will these tracks work for?
T150 tracks started being used in the late 2000s to early 2000-teens. Most current US M113s have them.
Doesn’t Fat Frog produce them already though?
Hobby Easy has them: HobbyEasy | M113 T150 Workable Track Links with Drive Sprockets
Fat Frog also sells the T130 track set HobbyEasy | M113 T130E1 tracks (Clickable 3D Printed links).
Looks like they have other M113 related offerings like drive wheels, etc.
They do, but another option (competition) is always good.
OK, here’s the official product on DEF website:
US M113 APC Workable Track set
US M113 APC Workable Track set - Damaged pad
Mario
I’m not sure if it’s relevant but I also made a set of Diehl T150F tracks awhile ago. It was too expensive on Shapeways so it never went anywhere.
