This is an answer I posted a few days ago regarding treads, I think it would
answer your question also.

I bought that set of tread links recently.
N779938 - 36 x Conveyor belt links - $6.25
Actually I received 40 links!  But I still think that's way expensive...

I had enough to make a tread using 2 24-tooth gears spaced 12 holes apart
(including the two holes used by the gears)
There was one link left.

As you can see 40 links isn't all that many.
You'll need at least two bags ($12.50 + $6.00 shipping!)
But if you're still interested here's their website.
http://www.pitsco-legodacta.com
I don't think you can order those links online, so you have to call them
(phone# at website)

Let us know if you find better way to get tread links,

were linked together and mounted on lego gears. After looking arounf on • where
to purchase them, I came up with no luck. I was wondering if anyone out • there
knows of where to buy these treads (or be willing to sell 1 or 2 pairs) and
please tell me how to purchase them. Any help would be great!! Thanks!!!
