Major problems with tank tread drive

We finally hooked up our drive system today, and we can only go about 2 feet before the treads fall off the wheel. The treads are flat on aluminum rollers and they have no grove. We have a pulley that's flanged and 2 other flanged rollers (one in the front and one in the back).

The flanges are about .1 inches, and the rollers/sprockets are 2 inches wide.

Are we totatlly screwed? Or is there anythign we can do?

Would attaching circular plates onto the flanged wheels to make a really big flange do anything?

Help plzz!!!
