Sand Tarakava Belt Part #

[Max_Nui]

Not sure if this is the right channel, but for the life of me I can't figure out what tread the Sand Tarakava used.

I recently purchased part#: bb0661 "Tread with 28 Treads Medium". This belt fits, but I don't believe it's wide enough.

For the instructions I am using Vahki6's excellent instructions: https://www.deviantart.com/vahki6/art/Sand-Tarakava-Instructions-689793205

If someone knows the part number and could give it to me, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

According to the part list on Bricklink, it uses part 680c01 (Tread with 34 Treads Technic).

I'm not 100% certain of the accuracy of the part list, but it does look legit as far as I can tell.

If you want 100% accuracy with the prototype treads, they actually used a Duplo piece, part x1228:

With that said, if you are okay with modifying the design I think using other treads are fine, since the Duplo one always looked a bit goofy on the model. Mind you it was of course only a prototype, so Lego likely just used what they had available.

Thank you! The treads are a bit whack, but as of right now I am looking to be as accurate as possible. I would have never expected the piece to be DUPLO, thank you!
