They also have tread/track sold by the foot for DIY. 4-inch wide is about 10 bucks a foot, 2 inch wide is $6.50.

If anyone here has experience with them, I'd be pleased to hear your comments.
The tread looks worthless for FRC applications. You need some kind of toothed interface to transmit the type of torque we'd be applying.
