Your comment about "effective diameter" is a good one. Different track designs yield different effective diameters. In my description, I had a particular track behavior in mind which I think I explained reasonably well for us laymen. Patrick's track behavior is a bit different.
Even after caving (see, I can admit when I'm wrong and fall on my sword) as a result of the model I played with last night, I'm still scratching my head to understand why a track behaving like I described doesn't propel a vehicle like I described.
If I can find time I might build a model that behaves like what I was describing just for grins. Maybe I'll have to un-cave - who knows.
Anyway, I have to stop this - need to finish closing funding for our new company (No, we're not building tracks or overtreads)
