Those are still available from Dacta in the US I think, so try the Pittsco
catalogue first. Someone here will know more. about that. But be aware that
the link-based treads are fairly weak, so you end up using a row of gears
along the bottom to hold them together (as per real bulldozers). I tend to
feed power to them too (by using a row of 24T gears spaced apart by 8T ones)
which works quite well. But they're not really up to the more vigorous types
of tricks - like climbing all over the stuff on my Lego table (pics on my
web site http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~moz1/trucks.html - bottom 3 pics,
including a snow groomer chassis that uses 4 sets of the smaller tracks.
I doubt I'll be getting 4 sets of the CyberMaster tracks :)
