(...) I was thinking that myself. I wonder if Lego have already designed the family of sprocket sizes or whether they design them only "on demand". If Jake Mckee was still around I'd ask him. Lego might have a policy to complete the whole system (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Yes the piece is exactly like you described. The bar is the standard size, and a minifig can hold it as a shield. The 2 holds are exacted 3 wide. You can pass axle and pins through them and the half pin will latch perfectly. The whole piece is (...) (18 years ago, 7-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) It does look like that bar peice. Nice to see TLG maintain a standard, however the linking socket must then be bigger than the standard "clip" items so that friction between the links is minimised. It seems limiting that there is only one (...) (18 years ago, 6-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) They seem like they'd be great for a lot of "stuff". The edges of the tread itself are just a bit thinner than a tile, so they should slide in the groove of the '1x4 brick with groove' piece. The sprockets that drive the chain have good grip, (...) (18 years ago, 6-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) A continuous track requires a hollow behind the bar in the horizontal plane to allow for idler gears or the sprocket, which would determine what you could connect too. You could of course attach parts that don't meet these criteria to the ends (...) (18 years ago, 6-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
