Re: Success with Tank Treads

Looks sweet again Mike - and to the point of this thread, you can see how much design and machining time goes into making a tread system work. The sprocket you see there comes solid stock, just the teeth and the bore cut; all the weight reduction getting to the cool looking spokes and the attachment holes plus the drive shaft takes design, NC programming and machining time.
