Why do you include roller links in the design? Or, in other words, what
problems do they solve?
Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to have two pins embedded in each
tread as you show in your design and then mold a link that connects two
treads together. The link could then be shaped to fit into a molded
drive sprocket. You could incorporate as many links as you need along
the length of each tread to ensure reliability. Furthermore, one or
more of the links could be shaped as guide horns to suit whatever guide
horn arrangement is needed for the vehicle (2 horns/1 wheel vs. 1
wheel/2 horns, etc)

So this new design is still similar and still uses standard roller
chain. There is a tread that is molded over two pins. These pins
replace the pins that are pressed into roller chain.
