Yes, you can. I haven't tried that, though, so it may very well be that
you'll have a hard time trying build a chassis that fits the treads
correctly. But it's probably just a matter of adjusting the yellow
wheels properly.
An interesting thing about the black frame is that the rearmost wheel is
powered. This is where the treads take a 90° turn, so the tread covers
a large portion of it. This is probably a clever design idea, as the
treads will most cerainly not slip the driving wheel.

Well, I was just speculating, mostly. I haven't actually worn out any
batteries yet.
