They make those for trucks. Essentially it's a set of four tank treads mounted onto the rims of the truck. It works pretty wheel.

i saw earlier that som eof you are looking at cvt's

well one year my team tryed to make then and it turned into a disaster the parts of it were al so heavy and then to shift it it is hard you cant just use a pnuematic unless it is multi positional but see wut you come up with, cause after all everybody has diff ideas...most of the time

Someone might want to correct me don't cvt's shift on their own. They don't need a pnuematic device to change gears. That is the advantage of cvts.
