Hey Chris, The SD just stands for standard, vs metric. I was also planning on using the attachment chain with one on
each side. As far as track drive, I doubt I could ever get the right gear
ratio down. I’m mostly concerned with getting the right overall diameter. As far as: I also figure I have about .8275 inches between the chain when
on the sprocket. Is a roller wheel of about ¾ an inch thick sufficient? I included a poorly drawn picture to try and show what I am
talking about, but basically, I have about .8275 inches between the two chains
for the middle road wheels. I was just curious if a ¾ inch wide road wheel was
sufficiently thick. Once again, thanks for all the help. -MaCayn From:

Of OdysseySlipways-at-aol.com i really wish i knew where the tablet i wrote down the size
of some of these wheels because i have all of that info. I know the road wheels are 800mm, and in 1:6th scale that is
5.249"/13.33cm, so that parts right. since your using a chain drive for the tracks, i wouldn't go any
lower than 1/2" for the drive shaft - since your not using a friction
track, there isn't as much tension involved. 60SD - what's the SD? my 1:7th scale tiger will be using a 40 attachment chain - it has
tabs on both sides of the chain. as to track drive gears, i don't know how any made their's near
the correct scale size. I also figure I have about .8275 inches between the chain when
on the sprocket. Is a roller wheel of about ¾ an inch thick sufficient? i don't quite understand what your saying here (simple
things have a way of being over my head sometimes) Chris
