If you use the vinyl AFV tracks ... youŽll need two sets and have to splice them together. Approx 1.5 sets per side.
If you use the indy links ... there are actually enough links for the whole model in one set .. plus a few for the roof. However, there is not enough rubber pads in one set, so make sure you cover the top run, around the sprocket and around the idler first. There are about 8 missing pads along the bottom run on each side when finished. If placed on a base with some ground work, this is not noticeable.
I built the Bluetank kit, but I was told this is a copy of the Nitto kit. The drive sprocket will need to be doctored to fit the AFV Club tracks.
Would recommend getting the AFV Club wheel set as well, but you need 2 as there is an extra road wheel on this vehicle because of the extended chasis.
I used the airwaves PE, which is quite poor and would be better to use your own additions.
