 I dont actually know, but I have seen all the HK sellers listing the official Tamiya versions for Tamiya or Henglong... that suggests they would be interchangable.

as I have neither tanks nor metal tracks I really cant say for sur tho...I would like to find out first hand one day with a Tamiya version tho... :lol:

 That's exactly why I ask. The eBay auctions list the metal Tiger tracks as compatible for HL and Tamiya. But I don't wanna be a Test Dummy :crying:

 I believe they fit. Since the HL is a clone of the Tamiya the parts are so close to the same size it shouldn't matter.

I only haven't bought metal tracks for a couple reasons. One they are expensive, harder to justify on a toy then a Tamiya, and second they are hard on the tank, so the cheaper more plastic HL would suffer as a result. No thanx.

Don't hit me if I am wrong but I'd say your pretty safe to run Mato metal tracks. And they are much cheaper then the other alternatives so you'll save a lot of coin.
