I'm planning on a sprocket drive, like Chrys uses. It'll go better
with the low-tension T-54 style tracks that the Ti-67 continued to
use. I hope that the 1/2" type 1045 steel shaft I'm using for the
drive axle can take the stress, altho _not_ using friction drive
should help lower that some (no tension stresses keeping the tracks
tight enough for friction drive).
I also considered engaging the hinge pins for drive... but we'll see.
Still a bunch of work to do before I worry about her moving. The
goal is to have her rolling around by Christmas so I can provide area
security for St. Nick :)
