... - the drive sprocket has no teeth (I believe) and relies on this constant tension and pressure between sprocket and track to allow sprocket rotation to be transmitted into track movement.



Sorry to differ but the drive sproket indeed does have teeth. one set right down the middle.



Thanks for the info.
I wasn't exactly sure, been a long time since my last walk around a halftrack, hence my parentheitc comment.

Ah, , that explains the presence of toothed sprocket bits in the R&J Enterprises running gear kit...

Doh..!
