Its a shame lego dosen't make crawler links in different colors..

It's a shame Lego doesn't make them at all!

Yep, I have enough for two medium machines, but more chain links are always
welcome!!

You could always paint them :-) Jennifer Clark had success with painting 1x7
liftarms. Look at the end of the boom on her AC-50 crane, and you'll see
them. They're quite nice.

Painting LEGOs is not my style. However, I've painted some old scratched
pieces. But I'm not really satisfied with the result. I also would like to
build an orange heavy haulier of one of the most well known heavy haulers in
the Netherlands (Van der Vlist). Therefore I've to paint some pieces (just
for the driver's cab). But than I also have to paint some special pieces and
I won't do that!!

Actually, what would be nice is if 1x6 or 1x8 tiles could be snapped onto
each chain link, and would have a firm connection so that they stayed on
during use. You would be able to make your crawlers any color, depending on
your tiles. Anyway, just dreaming...

I know ;-)
