Re: Tank Treads

Nobody has mentioned cost yet, surprisingly. Just a belt can set you back around $200, if I remember correctly, and the pulleys for the belts will cost you a pretty penny as well. Most teams who use treads end up needed more than one belt obviously, since they tear, wear down, etc.

All this adds up to quite a bit, and can be very prohibitive for some teams.
