You might find that spreading the hinge plates wider on the tread shoes will
help. Having them near the centre increases the "twisting" effect if there are
forces near the edge of the shoes. Also, having 3 per shoe instead of 2 may help
- mine don't break apart very often now, mostly only when trying to turn (move
one tread faster than the other).
