There was a team at the Australia Regional, who attempted to do a similar thing, but using pulleys and toothed belts. They had some difficulties getting it working how they wanted, so they replaced the belts with 8 inch Pneumatic Wheels at the event.

How did you attach the flange to the tread, and how effective is it at preventing the treads from coming off in say a t-bone situation.
