Did you buy these treads or manufacture them yourselves? If you bought em... where? I want some!

I remember it being a product called uni chain. 1293's had it sitting in their shop since 2005, and it also saw use on Chomp's shooter wheels last year. It's pretty awesome stuff in the right hands.

Thanks! Should be a nice change from the BrecoFlex stuff we've been using since 2002/3.

Here is the breakdown of our track modules.
On the front side, the sprocket was mounted to two CIMs via a banebot gearbox. On the back, the green radius was fitted into large slots & spring loaded for track tension. The 2 small square holes were fitted to our 80/20 frame, which slid all the way through to the orange plate & was held with one bolt each. Extremely robust but slightly on the heavy side at around 11 lbs each (if I remember correctly).

Did it climb ramps?

how pricey were they?

what kind of material did you use for the treads themselves and what is the green material in the middle?

I know this is from a while ago, but are there any other pictures of this design? We would love to know more about it, especially how the inside of it worked.
