Hello,

I have visited this topic a few times without much progress, but perhaps I am
simply missing some key information.

I have the need to use this tread part:

http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/43903
(used to be x203)

I recall it took a while to find it (I think because there was only a
preliminary or unofficial(?) version).

Anyhow, ideally I would be able to bend this part just slightly.
Several of my mocs use this part with four or five wheels and the center 2 or 3
wheels are dropped one plate.  IMO this makes the moc look a little better and
also makes it roll better as well.  IIRC the standard part will just run through
the wheels.

It's been a real long time, but I do recall looking into creating my own part to
achieve the desired effect.

I am interested in hearing of anyone dealing with this, and what solutions have
worked out (or not so much).

Have you tried LSynth?  If I recall, it supports this part.  Maybe kevin can
chime in help you out.

Ken,

and I the developers of LSynth.

(...) Actually I just recently started some work on the lsynth tread code and I think it only supports the larger rubber tread right now. I found the wheels for the small rubber treads on parts tracker, but I can't seem to locate the tread part(s). (...) (17 years ago, 30-May-07, to lugnet.cad)
