How are Proper Tank Tracks made?

[Rab9]

Hey all,

So I've been trying countless times to make proper tank treads, and none of them worked. Every single one attached to a structural piece so they could not move, and they were WAY too loose, so the tracks would snap or the vehicle would trip over itself. Is there any possible way on how to make these without these issues happening?

Thanks.

I don't know if you are still wondering but the simplest way is to put a piston or two pushing the top wheels upwards

Commonly there are tracks tension system, frontal upper wheels for RWD (and vice-versa), it can move away to counter tracks hanging.
But additional problem is wheels collisions (not always relevant), when you can make tracks longer, because looking on visuals. But ingame only hitbxes are important. Use ColliderMod for it.
One more is probably track's connection point. I think it may oddly move around a bit and this makes entile belt longer, result is above.

One more way is make low clearance and apply tension by controllable suspension.
