Major problems with tank tread drive

SuperJake · #1 23-02-2004, 15:08

We used treads in 2001 and hated them.. but Robbie Extreme (56) used treads also and had a lot of luck with them. They said that the trick is to put pop-rivets all along the tread down the center. Then on all of your wheels, cut a groove that the pop rivets will slide in. This is basically how tanks do it.

could you explain in more depth how to do this?

How do you cut the wheels in the wheel, and what are pop rivets?
