Re: Tank tread

Just a point of inquiry:

Why not use just a 6 wheel tank DRIVE, but without the treads? We've (25) been doing that for the past couple of years and have met with very pleasant results. The problem with treads is that they're really unnecessary unless you're climbing some kind of stairs or what not. I've seen many teams with tank treads get pushed sideways and then end up burning up and/or tearing their treads to shreds --leaving much to be fixed.
