Go to Post I like drifting, but I have to go WRC. Putting a car where it doesn't belong feels right, like combining together drill motors and power window motors and putting them on a big patch of carpet. - Billfred [more]

So would 4 1/4 tracks be a waste of time?? Would 2 full-length tracks be better in terms power/effort convervation.

My idea is basically replace wheels wityh treads, gaining the traction of treads, and with less material on the ground, have less scrub and more speed (as with wheel)

I am seeking a medium between a tank and a humvee,

Am I wasting my time, or is the 1/4 half-track idea worth pursuing (or at least trying out) ??

As always, opinions on this idea are welcome.
