The JT will be shipping with Aluminium tracks.
Steel tracks will add approx 20kg to an already heavy model and will add strain to the running gear.
That's quite right; the steel tracks are much heavier than Armorteks aluminium tracks; they weigh 13,7 kg per side (Königstiger). I don't know the weight of Armorteks tracks. Perhaps an owner of an Armortek king tiger using Olaf's tracks may respond to the running gears strain. My models are non-Armortek; therefore I can't answer this question, but I'm aware that no drive train lasts for eternity.......
Olaf actually has no more steel tracks, because I bought his remainder to fit my models

But the casting moulds still exist.......

kind regards
Gerhard
