i'm not entirely sure at this point, its been so long since i started this kit (7 1/2 months actualy now that i think about it) its either A) it came with the kit B) its a peice of cat5 networking cable with the plastic sleeve around it removed or c) its a strand out of a inch and half thick welding cable (found a leftover peice of that a few months ago at work and tought it could come in handy some day....100's of tiny copper strands to make a big thick cable)

no problems whatsoever with my fruil tracks.....it was a pain in the ****** to drill the pin holes in all the links but not hard , just boring as hell. in my opinion it was well worth the effort though, i imagine it would be hard to get the panther sag "right" with rubber tracks, i was realy impressed with them, i'll definitively be using fruil tracks again in the future.
