MattTracks is the only supplier I know of. They have them for everything from quads to H1's. Not cheap. Last I looked was about $2000 for a quad.

I would imagine posi or locking differentials would be bad news with tracks, and you'd really want to install a braking system that would brake left or right, and still be normal with the brake pedal.. that way you could steer by braking like a cat does.. and all of this is null and void if you go with individual tracks per wheel.. ha.. thought about it and remembered seeing a jeep with a track setup on each wheel, only makes sense to do it that way.. (go back to sleep wayne)....

I know a couple of guys up in Northern New England that run homemade tracks on their rigs. While not as nice as the matttracks, they are functional. basically that use snow mobiles tracks. I think I took a picture while back, see if I can find it.

I don't have the photo, here read this.

$20g'S, Might as well buy a gently used helicopter at that point.
