Quad- 1/2 track drive system

[Ben Mitchell]

4 wheels have the same traction as 4 treads??? No way!

Would'nt having 4 tracks dampen the scrub issue, or would it be so little a gain as to render the entire concept useless?

What if the drive was modified to a simpler 1/2 track deisign, 1/2 tracks in back, wheels in front? Would that be better in terms of scrub/traction.

Also, would treads and wheels be much faster than 4 1/4 tracks, or would having treads in any combination cut out the speed factor??

What if the quarter-tracks were shortend to 2-3 inches, making them basically the size of wheels, but with the traction of treads.

Thanks for the help.
