mauler rubber tracks details ( continued )
bottom picks are comparison of the 1/25 tamiya centurion ( 1971 kit ) next to mauler and warthog running gear.
Testing will reveal if I end up using the tamiya centurion tracks or the mauler shortened ones.
At this stage it is not an issues. Roadwheels and tracks can be swapped down the road. Just preparing my options.
I have received interest in RC maulers and warthog, so rather than just building a one off, unique thing, I am trying to plan how to duplicate the build without using unicorn parts.
The cross-compatibility is also cool as each one can choose their preferences. Rubber or plastic?
The Tamiya kits will very soon be out of production and will fetch ridiculous prices.
I personally still prefer individual tracks, but it seem that they are too finnicky to assemble for average folks.
I am awaiting an old tamiya kit, the chieftain in 1/25 , which is what Greg Berdntson and colleagues used to prototype the MAuler ( see 1985 toy fair catalogue ) and the mock up models of the IMP shown at Hascon 2017
The chieftain tracks are more modern than the WWII centurion, less pokey on the sides and feature inserted rubber pads like the real Amtracs.
that chieftain kit was introduced in 67, its last reissue was cancelled, very short run. The centurion is more available right now since they made a few RC versions.
