I am blown away by how awesome that looks. this year's our first attempt at using tracks, so I can safely say it's not nearly as great-looking as that beauty~! Good job!

It's difficult to see in the picture if those timing belts have a centering bar down the middle that rides in a groove on your timing pulleys. Do they?

If not, what keeps the timing belt from "walking" off its drive pulleys laterally when misaligned or while turning?

It does have a centering track that rides in a groove in the pulleys... we got the tracks from brecoflex..

we used the tracks themselves last year with a different frame and we happy with them.. they did suck a lot of power though.. so we wnet with this frame design and better bearings..

The wheels are made on a rapid prototyper out of abs plastic..

I have to say, that is one of the nicest tread design systems I have seen in recent years, congrats!

nice work! how many pieces is it total? i count 10...

Re: pic: Smoooooooooooth!!!
 
The hubs for the wheels are pretty complex.. a few kids spent weeks on a lathe... but the bearing fit perfectly and it is all very solid..
I would say 20 - 30 parts total.... I am sure we will use these for years...

This is a great looking tread system. The adjustment mechanism in the front looks user-friendly. The slight "bow" in the bottom will save you from throwing treads. You Kil-a-Bytes really did your homework on this elegant design.

These guys were Rookie All-Stars in St. Louis last year, and St. Louis had many great rookies. They look to be a formidable contender in 2004.

Good luck!
