[TANKS] Re: Noob to this forum....

Forgot about those two.  If you get down to definitions the sprocket
driven TTS is a timing belt also.

I reckon 2 bicycle tires with the side walls removed attached side by
side could make decent tracks. Get tires narrower than the ones you
normally use on your bike and place them inside your normal tires and
you get decent puncture protection. Also if you puncture your inner
tubes and get new ones you can use those aswell
