Thanks guys! The sprockets are directly connected to the motors but it seems to work fine. I used a lot less spring tension on the Volvo than I did on the Cat so that should help reduce wear. I do think that it would be better to drive the tracks off a jackshaft but the gear motors are cheap and easy to change down the road if it becomes a problem.

I picked up some things today for my next projects
