I was at SSM looking to buy JIA's resin LIS chariot tracks but wanted someones take on them. I hesitated because the picture they have posted isn't very close and it's hard to see any good detail. Looking at them, from what I can tell, there may be some issues with quality. Seems there are some pretty bad tread issues with the tires at the pour plugs. It looks like some areas missing around the outer tread. It's hard to tell but it looks like there is tread detail that would make repair difficult.
Also, the outter tracks look very inconsistant in length. I can't tell if this is excess that needs to be removed or if they are just that irregular. The cleats look irregular too. Again, it's just hard to tell in that picture. I wish JIA had better pictures on their site.
I know the kit tracks aren't all that great either so it would come down to the lesser of the two evils.
By chance does anyone have any good close up pics they've taken during a build maybe? I'd like to see better detail before forking out 40 bucks!
Thanks for any help you can offer.
