I'm afraid I will never have a desire to do tank treads, but I appreciate the efforts of others

I build almost the same but here is my version of the tracks for my Baneblade. As mentioned by other viewers, it is very tedious. Baneblade I tend to build them by eye measure but in the beginning I used a guide to help keep the tracks on line because they tend to go banana. The track connectors can be dowels, thinned dowels, cut metal nails, and when you get smaller in size, straight pins and cut paper clips.

Thanks silveroxide! Sweet info!,.. Thanks for the share! I've left a bit of space inbetween so when I have it on the wheels there will be some natural sag
