But they do not quite look like transport tracks/verladeketten to me...

I think you may find your answer if you take a look at the robot tanks on the web, I don't think that the ones you have come off a standard RC tank as I can't see any guide horns. Most of the robot tanks use HL tracks, unsurprisingly, but a few use tracks that look similar but aren't.

If you search Google on Robot Tank Tracks, and then click on Images, you will see what I mean. :thumbup:

I don't like that answer... takes away all the mystique! :D

And in my defense: These look so sofistcated, and so German, so much detail, why didn't they design a way more simple 'fantasy' track...
