Everything is home made. The sprockets are made on a milling machine from plate with holes drilled in a circle to form the shape of the teeth. The excess is then cut away and filed to shape. The tracks are made from 25x10mm bar cut to length with 2 holes are drilled through. Threaded bar is pushed through the hole and a thin link put on each end. A nut is then done up on each side and it is the nut that locates on the sprocket providing the drive.
where do you get the sprocket and tracks? if home made how do you make them?

Unusual one R/C tank. What scale is it? Looks cool!

1/10th scale.
Looks unusual because there is no bodywork yet and the wheels aren't fully machined.
Taken over 2 years of work so far and still plenty to do.
