P.S. Before I forget, the little raised nubs are _supposed_ to be bolt heads ;o) 21Century, eh?

Re: Best filament for prining tracks and wheels
I use this PLA from Amazon, prints with a much better surface finish than anything else I have tried and quite reasonable (altho getting gradually more expensive) -
For Tyres I was using ridgd.ink TPU, it makes them nice and soft at a 10% infill density, but takes forever to print - https://rigid.ink/products/tpu-1-75mm-0 ... 0492777491 (not currently available thru Amazon, think they are trying to sell direct now)
I'm now trying Sunlu instead - much more filament for the money, but it it is noticeably less flexible and results in a harder part (being less flexible does allow me to print at higher speeds tho!).
Next I'll be trying some Sainsmart material.
