Default how hard could it be?

Would this be in any way possible in anyway. i'm not saying i would do it but just wondering.

its possible it seems like it may be kinda difficult but doable. you would need to find tracks that are the right size, probably off of a small scale dozer or something. then all it is is finding a way to mount them and figuring out how to get small wheels with small teeth type pieces coming off them. then you would be all set

honestly - i think that this

would be pretty easy...
txt-1 front axle
tamaya tank
txt-1 tranny and custom frame
landrover body and extra lexan... tada...

I think matching the front and rear gear ratio would be your only problem.

Either way, I don't think it would do so well on the rocks. I just have never really liked the tracked vehicles that much anyway though.

Except.......did anyone here have the Fast trax (sp?) I had the red one I think. Man that thing was fun!

it would probably take quite abit of custom machining for the basic structure that hold the shape of the tracks, but the driveline parts can be taken straight from a cheap 'hobby grade' RC tank, such as a Hen Long

the wheel with the teeth is called the sprocket or drive wheel, and the other wheels that just roll the track are called road wheels
