I believe you are correct. I think they mentioned that in another thread. Also, from my expierience, a single chain is rarely enough for most purposes, so if you don't have room or enough space for a tank tread, try using 2 chains. The chains are nice for low stress applications, but when made of plastic, tend to break for arms and more powerful herding devices, etc.
