This monorail (URL) built with tracks from Snowmobile 8272 and the forthcoming Bullozer 8275. The Power Functions system (URL) allows IR remote control of the train.

(...) it's a cool concept but not very cost effective. i imagine those tank treads are going to go for .20 cents or more on bricklink. i could see this being feasable for something large and possibly space, but i'd concider trying something cheaper.

That's ingenious! I'm glad there are smart people like you out there that figure this sort of innovation out! The possibilities for this are endless, you've certainly discovered a cool monorail system, but think of the roller coasters you could (...) (17 years ago, 12-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks Matt :-) Here are a couple of videos of the roller coaster, my first ones: Flat circuit: (URL) degree roll: (URL) too bad I hope, considering it's not a movie camera.
