Description

Tracks for crawler vehicles

The name already gives away the purpose: this pack supplies chain links for a bulldozer or a similar tracked vehicle from the Technic range. Instead of a model of its own you get 54 identical parts, with which you can make a replacement or lengthen a track. Service packs like this one were meant for tinkerers who wanted to maintain or modify their vehicles. Today they mainly interest collectors and restorers of old Technic models who need to top up one particular part. On Technic vehicles of this period the track is often the part that goes missing or wears out first.

One part, black only

The parts list could hardly be simpler: one part, one colour, 54 pieces. That makes checking for completeness easy, since all you have to do is count. At the same time it means you cannot build a vehicle from this set alone. You need wheels, axles and a frame from other sets. Treat the pack as an accessory to use on an existing model rather than as a build project in its own right.

How it differs from similar packs

Several service packs with chain links appeared in the same year, differing in quantity and title. Here there are 54 pieces, while related packs hold a few more or fewer. If you need a longer track, you can combine several bags. Just make sure the links really match each other, because parts that look alike sometimes differ in small details. A test strip clipped together will show you quickly. That matters more than which number is printed on the bag.

Check your stock and keep building

You can find the complete parts list on this page. With “What can I build?” you also see which sets your existing stock can assemble. If you own an old bulldozer model that is missing links, the comparison is worthwhile. And if you already have the tracks but no longer remember which set they came from, the uniform black colour helps narrow down their origin.
