  • Heng Long metal track links for Sherman M4A3

    I broke a track link running in the snow. Where can I get metal track links for Heng Long M4A3?

    All of my RC tanks have come with extra links and pins. Check to see if yours came with some. Usually in the small accessories box. If not Ebay, Amazon and dealers like Motion RC have them, but usually as a full set of tracks not just replacement links.

It must be easier for them to just toss the metal track links into the box than fish out the plastic ones.



    Toucan is selling them on Ebay. Toucan is a reputable dealer. But thats for a whole set not just a link.

      None of my H-L metal tread tanks included extra metal tread links, they included a couple plastic ones.

        Well that kinda sucks. All 5 of my Heng Long did and they are from different vendors. So did my Taigen.

          I got my loose metal track links from Taigen tank in package of 10 links. They have 2 variety for the Sherman. However, I am not sure if the Taigen links work with the Heng Long track.

            The Heng Long metal track is very poor in design and quality. You may be interested in an upgrade using the Taigen track.

              If you want to go with the taigen track you will have to use their sprockets. Taigen track will not run on hL sprockets.
              If you cant find extra HL metal sherman track send me a PM. I dont recall noticing it on ebay so not sure if its available. Though it should be on aliexpress under tankzhang or henglong factory store. Your going to have to buy just a whole set of two tracks probably.

                Thank you all for the community support! My H-L Pro version only came with plastic replacement links. So, she's on the bench until my order of a complete set of tracks, drive and bogie wheels comes in from e-bay. In for a dime, in for a dollar, I guess! It gives me time to paint the tank commander. I've always sucked at figures, but with YouTube, I have hope. Time to go shovel more snow!

                  It is indeed a rabbit-hole having one of these tanks. I have always been a fan of this group and its support. Sorry about the snow thing. I myself am looking for sunscreen.

                    Check with Matomart in Canada. They sell extra links, I think about 4 or 5 in a packet.
                    The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

                        @JimboBimbo​ has the Heng Long track. Anyone knows firsthand whether the Mato or the Taigen link can be used with the Heng Long track?

                          No they can not. They are much larger links and both require their one of sprockets to run their tracks. Mato-Mato and Taigen-Taigen (Torro) .
