(...) You can easily get eight wide tracks with the conveyor links, simply attach a 1x8 plate or tile across two lniks spaced appropriately. The conveyor links are designed to accept 1xn plates where n is greater than four. Steve (21 years ago, 12-Feb-05, to lugnet.build)

So, I need big treads. About 400-500 studs long total, and about 8-studs wide. I've jury-rigged some prototype treads, and I'm fairly happy with them, but I'm curious to see some other examples. Anyone know of any? Here's what I've got so far: (6 (...) (21 years ago, 12-Feb-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
