Nifty. Have you thought about using the newer bigger tread links, from the
Snowmobile (and later this year from the Power Functions Bulldozer)? They are
much less likely to break apart in my experience, and are closer in look at that
scale as well. The only reason I wasn't using them more was honestly traction -
the rubber fixed-length LEGO treads have some traction, but not a lot, and all
the hard plastic treads (old and new) are so low traction that they really have
trouble functioning at all.
then, I joined The Dark Side:

Clankers was built to do nothing more than test out the idea of "painting"
(daubing, really) Plasti-Dip onto the bottom of the new treads. It works great,
with better traction than the stock LEGO rubber treads, but not so much that it
won't allow turning (at least in my set-up). And if you want lower traction, you
mix coated with non-coated treads.
