My 1/6th MkII Carrier a WIP

I'm trying to find something close to the track on a carrier in 1/16th to use on my carrier. I think the pzr3 track is too narrow, The tiger1 track is about the right width but the tread pattern is wrong so I may have to comprimise on that. RC woud be nice I have a spare set of gearboxes for the HL tanks and electronics. The carrier so far is very light so that might work out ok

What is the width of the track on a MkII carrier? I have been told it is 10"

iam probably wrong, but without checking my manual the mk1 and mk2 track are the same ? and off the top of my head they are 9.5 " wide with a pitch of arund 1.75" if i recal correctly.

I just measured my MK2 and you are correct at 9.5"

So then That would work out to about 1.2" in 1/6th scale, I guess a 1" track would not look too out of scale for the carrier... Thank you... Harold

1/6 of 9.5 is 1.58333 so 1" is only 2/3 of what you want it would look a little small.

Yep I agree with Robert on that. 1.6" is about what you are looking for. bummer!
