Something interesting at Radio Shack

[Cain]

I stopped by there recently to see the toys, and saw they had a F150 with tank style treads for each wheel. You also got the regular wheels, it had independent suspension, looked like a 540 motor, and from what I could tell aluminum-ish knuckles .

I got to wheel it and of course it was slow but the tank tread style worked well climbing over stuff. The thing that interested me enough to post as it looks like there isn't anything special going on in the treads units themselves, so if the system hooks up with a hex or something else, you could potentially rig these up to your RC.

Just a thought!

That would be sweet but why not jsut find a set of tires with the same treads, im sure some company has done it already.

"Our fastest RC Truck at over 1200 feet per minute!" I saw that truck too and thought kind of the same thing. No company makes treads like that, at least as far as I've seen. You could rig em' up to a touring car or something.
