NEW USA made Halftrack Tracks!

USA MADE TRACKS SOON AVAILABLE!!!!
Price $7,200 a pair

Some big news! I have purchased all the tooling and stock material from StarPoint to make halftrack tracks! I own the molds and all! What does this means for buyers of my new tracks...

-Direct install tracks that don't require flanges or additional tooling to fit properly!
-High density rubber compound for long lasting wear
-UV protection in the rubber compound!!! A must!
-Iron foraged cross bars same dimensions as the original bars. No recycled metal used!!! For increased durability and rigidness.
-Made in the USA 🇺🇸 assembled in Wisconsin and compression rubberized in Ohio.
-One year warranty! I stand behind each track I sell and strive for top notch customer service. Vehicle owners need and deserve high quality American made products that deliver the reliability to keep honoring veterans and brining history to life.
- Complete assembly offered with or with out foraged guides
Tracks are available on a made-to-order process. Once ordered, manufacturing may take 2-6 weeks depending on lead times.

Yes Cletrac tracks will soon be available as well!

Please message me if interested in ordering or have questions. Thanks!

That's awesome. Makes me want a halfback. The only guy I personally knew who had one had bought an extra set of Israeli tracks with the belief that he would never be able to buy them again

Congratulations on your purchase.
I have no idea so I’m asking out of curiosity, what is the going price for a set of tracks from Kevin?

That's great news. Now I want have to worry about using up my tracks. What would be the cost without the guides?

QUESTION,
I have no financial interest in tracks anymore but I do have questions.
What type of road testing has been done, I remember a guy was testing a set for Star Point, but I don’t remember ever reading about the results and how many miles at what speed they were tested if any.
I would think that would be very important to any buyers out there.
The Europe tracks have a huge testing period and to the best of my knowledge there has not been one track failure.
Can you enlighten us on your product support records please?

I’m surprised that your not giving the collectors any information on the testing of the tracks. Are the new purchasers going to be doing $7200.00 Experimental testing for you?

Hello,
FYI...I bought the 1st set of Stuart tank tracks from Starpoint a few years ago and they are holding up quite well. Starpoint did a fantastic job!

That first set of tracks is on the commemorative airforces or CAF,s International Halftrack it is all complete and is as it should be.It has been ran at all speeds since starpoint made them and there has been no problem.The thing about it is alot of different people have driven it so not driven by the book at all times still no problems yet.On concrete, dirt, gravel,and mud.

Hi Gary
We have not gotten any info on the Eurpoean/chinese tracks yet either
We know they were run on a 1/2 track un Europe and held up fine
We were just told these did also
Will the tracks for sale now ever admit to were they are being made???
Why the big secret???

It’s nice to hear some history since it seems to have been hush hush to this point.
The European track question needs to go to the owner. Without those tracks there would have been countless half tracks sitting as static displays.

What is the big deal about tracks being made in China? No one had a big deal when these are made in Israel and many people are using those tracks today. Doesn't matter who makes them as long as they are made to last. Glad they are made here but the price and what you have to do with them to work is equal to what is needed with European tracks. For many, these are still cost prohibitive to their vehicles. Good luck.
