Once that plastic breaks, glues won't be able to handle the stresses. The good news is, the Mato will work. Rich Johnson's HVSS kit instructions include this replacement. Basically it'll take a Dremel cutter and some drilling. The idler wheel is wider than the Heng Long one, but the HL tracks will work on it. (I had to use the HL tracks on my Mato Sherman because the Mato tracks were so miserable.) You should do both sides while you are at it.
Or, you could buy a static Sherman & use the intact lower hull with your upper hull, and keep the broken lower hull for RJ's HVSS project if you get his kit.
A Torro metal Sherman lower hull is available, but I don't know if it fits. RJ would know. Maybe other folks have come up with different solutions, but the Mato will work.Twenty six tanks, and not done yet!

$15 is less than I paid each for a bulk purchase as they typically cost around $30 for the set. They maybe charging $15 shipping on top of that cost. I also dont have any left, they have all been modified for HVSS and packed in my HVSS kits.
You could use that sherman to modify and install the HVSS kit on that you bought. That is a good solution or just put new mato idlers on it. I had to do that with Jerome's first sherman because it broke the same way though he was pushing it when the battery ran out. He was 4 at the time.RC tank parts and accessories I make
