I'm guessing attachment chain is designed with ready bolt holes? Sounds like it would be a bit more expensive, people wouldn't use it as much. As for the "skip tooth" IIRC it's best just made--cut out the desired teeth by whatever method you care for.
I'm planning on a modified chain track system--two chains on each belt, and wooden treads just screwed on. The big difference was instead of friction drive, I was going to cut sprockets that actually engage the treads. It'll take some math, and without modeling software some trial and error, but it shouldn't be terribly difficult to get the sprocket right. This gives the reliability of a sprocket drive, without the mess of dealing with modifying sprockets or any of that. You could also do something similar with the larger roller chain down the middle, using sprockets on the treads instead of the chain to drive it. -- -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
