Project idea!(Golf cart conversion to military half track)
I think this is a cool idea! The main issue is how do I make the tracks work? I thought I could some sort of sprockets on the drive axles, but does anyone have any ideas of how and what to do for the tracks,suspension,rollers,etc.? I found some rubber tracks on-line for different construction equipment at a cost of $800+. Used rubber tracks for $400+-. (too much) Any ideas?1?

Use a set of ATV tracks.... they just bolt right on to the hub in place of a wheel.
Better have the horsepower to turn them. |

Re: Project idea!(Golf cart conversion to military half track)
How about snowmobile tracks? You could likely find a couple old junk sleds with decent tracks, they'd just have to be the same model. I know there's a yard near me that has lots of sleds.....Just an idea?
Found this cool tank thing using sled tracks on youtube. |
