I regret buying this track links kit, it doesn't make much sense to me.
1) The driver sprockets looks exactly like more modern Leopard drive sprockets, not at all an Abrams one. Very different.
2) The two rollers at the front in resin, are larger than the Tamiya kit.

I will use the, le sigh, vinyl tracks probably.

Hm, I just noticed. This Trumpeter track links kit (the box I got anyway) comes with some resin parts, like for the main sprocket wheel pulling the tracks.
However, I can't identify this sprocket design on Abrams tanks on photos. I do see the sprocket wheel in a modern Leopard photo. Weird? Or, do both tanks use the same sprocket design maybe?
How old is this sprocket design anyway? Anybody know? (Seen in the photo of the leo in the link just below.)

Here I found a comparative review with the Trumpeter sprocket in it: vodnik.net/pages/m1-comparison/m1comp1.htm . It says Trumpeter includes a retaining ring part that was discontinued in all but the USMC tanks. Is it still in your track set?

The kit box came with several resin parts and the retaining ring was included.
This retainer ring, ofc, isn't what I had in mind, just for clarification.
Btw, the track links kit, afaik comes in two versions. I have the one linked above.
There were six resin parts in the box: two front roller wheels, two drive sprockets, and also two retaining rings.

I guess what I found weird, is that the resin drive sprokets, doesn't look like the ones in the Trumper tank kit you linked to.
