From what I understand, a good track system needs a lot of thought and planning (especially in the tensioning system). With careful planning they can be equally maneuverable, be better at handling obstacles, and possess a lower CoG than wheels; with bad or sloppy design they can be quite expensive (belt replacements), unreliable, have difficulty turning, and be very heavy. Most of the good track designs, like 180's and 48's, have gone through many, many iterations to reach their current level of effectiveness.
