MATO 1/16 LATE TIGER TRACKS

 

MATO have a big range of metal upgrade parts for 1/16 RC tanks. With new products regularly being released, in the not too distant future MATO will have metal upgrade parts for almost an entire Tiger Tank in heavy metal. And so, this is the first in a series of reviews about MATO metal upgrades where we'll provide hobbyists with an accurate description, photos and video of the upgrades in action where possible.

RECEIVED FOR REVIEW

MATO 1/16 LATE TIGER TRACKS Item No. MT026-1

Review

These Tiger tank tracks are designed for steel wheeled Tiger tanks and Sturmtigers and for the purposes of this review I have installed them on my Matorro Sturmtiger.
The tracks are silver metal, pre assembled, plus spares and the set weighs around 1140 grams. Ice cleats are included, guide horns are solid, the pins are a self locking design and are fully enclosed by the links.
The assembled track sets were supple along the entire length and fitted the Sturmtiger perfectly without needing to use any of the spares supplied.
The Sturmtiger in the video demo has stock plastic gearboxes and electronics, the reason you don't see any tight turns in the video is because the Matorro Sturmtiger electronics/gearbox combination couldn't manage anything but a slow wide turn anyhow.

 
       
 

CONCLUSION

Everything seems good with these tracks, cleanly cast and can be used on a stock RTR tank.
