Max_Nui Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERIDAX941 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 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. Quote Formerly Iron_Man5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want 100% accuracy with the prototype treads, they actually used a Duplo piece, part x1228: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=x1228&name=Duplo, Vehicle Tread, Thick Cleats&category=[Duplo, Vehicle]#T=S&C=11&O={"color":11,"iconly":0} 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. 1 Quote All aboard the hype train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have never expected the piece to be DUPLO, thank you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
