Large scale Technic tracks, help needed

[drakmin]

Hi!

I'm in a need of reference photos. I'm building a large scale scifi tank, it will be about 800mm in length so normal Technic track parts are too small. I could use any photos you can find showing custom tracks made of actual Technic parts. Thanks!

@ Drakmin: You could possibly adapt the side-by-side Technic Tread design used in Han's Primoth Leitwolf NT Snow Groomer. If you want to connect each set together, one can use 1x7 Thin Technic Liftarms spanning across the pinholes in the Technic Tread pieces. He has a clever 3-speed transmission (which is handy for controlling large Lego tanks).

Just for clarification, The Lego Group has Lego train TRACKS and Lego Technic TREADS. You want tread links for your huge tank.

Something like this ?

This is a 6 wide track from a : Super Dozer including instructions how to run them..

This is a big want-to-use-it-myself for a tank. I guess it can be more wide than 6 .. perhaps 8 or so.

if you want actual large track you could use regular technic liftarms to make the tracks and then a technic wheel with the rubber on to drive them, it wont have perfect traction compared to the tooth and links of the lego system but is quite alot bigger

I have used the double width track idea that was posted first for a much larger robot (near a meter square) and that worked out pretty well
