I did today what I've been trying to do for the last three years and finally got a quote on some modular belting for use as tracks.
The standard belting used on tanks seems to be INTRALOX series 900 mold-to-width with tracking tabs. Two three metre lengths can be obtained, along with suitable sprockets for a few quid under £180. Flat top belting by HABASIT is a little cheaper (and since it's stocked locally the lead time between ordering and delivery is shorter too) but would need some trimming of the tracking tabs to make it useful for us. this comes in at a shade over 150 quid again including sprockets. Having handled this stuff I can say honestly that it looks like it would make extremely durable tracks and I will probably go down this route at some time.
