A tank rolls on its road wheels, which in turn roll on the inside surfaces of the track links. The drive sprocket pulls (directly if rear-drive, via the rear idler if front-drive) on the portion of the track behind the last road wheel. Since the track is pinned to the ground by the weight on the

what are you measuring by doing that, i don't understand the measuring the tracks. i know we did talk about the gearing down of the motor, what the final rpm's of the sprocket shaft would be plus the sprocket's dia would give you an idea as to the tanks overall top speed was In a me
