those look fantastic! I cant believe it, its such a perfect fit! Methinks this will allow the track to be much more stable than any other designed idlers I would have come up with. Deffinately getting these tracks soon! Unbelievable, im just sooo amazed :open_mouth:

Very nice!

Is this an indication that weā€™re getting closer to seeing the tracks/sprockets/motors/idlers available in a ā€œtread podā€ type of configuration that can be bolted onto the sides of a chassis?

The availability of something like that would probably make me rearrange the order of some of the projects on my listā€¦

We are still experiencing record sales volume and it is seriously impacting our ability to finish many new products. We must take care of our customers first and do R&D second. Iā€™m already taking more work home than ever before. :frowning: I guess if a business is going to have troubles, this would be preferred over not enough sales. :stuck_out_tongue: Iā€™m being extra cautious nowadays as to what I promise I can doā€¦

I think I can make track assemblies much easier than full fledged tracked vehicles, so Iā€™m giving that a lot of thought. The builder would then just attach them to a suitable chassis of their own design.

We are doing the best we can to keep up. My appologies for the delays.

Hey, no problem.
Itā€™s good to see that development is happening, across the entire product line, and that youā€™re here enough to address your customersā€™ questions and comments. As it is, Iā€™ve been keeping myself busy with work and other projects.

Thanks again, for everything you do for the hobby!
