Summary

Liked the original tracks but didn't want to have to cut a ton of individual steel pins to the right shape to link the individual pieces together. This idea allows you to print the tracks in sections and to print them out of flexible filament, such as Ninja Flex or Semi Flex (almost any TPU or TPE filament should work).

First STL file is for the section of track, second is an individual track link for custom tuning the length of your overall track. To join sections or individual links, simply use self-tapping M3x10 screws (will need two screws per link of track). There are already holes present in one end of the track for this purpose. The third STL file is the strengthened version of the track sections, with an additional 1-2mm layer of filament connecting the individual track lengths. I would recommend using this option if you will be using the tracks on a high-powered vehicle (such as a brushless vehicle).
