At first glance I thought this was General Grievous.  Imagine how much shopping he could carry with those arms that split apart??

Great! 

    

I posted this on facebook a few weeks ago;

Here's the basic back story... unfortunately I can't post photos on here so the link will have to do. 

That's a "Private Group" in order to see it you have to have a FB account and be a member of the group.

If you want to post images here use the "Reply" button rather than the "Quick Reply" box. When you use Reply you'll get the "Attachments and other options" pull-down.

Its just me, but I think HVSS might be a better suspension than torsion bar

That's so cool!

With chromed M3 early M4 five-spoke open road wheels.

Pimp my Panzer - cool idea.   

Love the Caddy-tank.

Wouldn't work with that track lay-out, you'd need a straight run across the top.

Then up and over the top! Just like WW1 tanks.

Only in real life.  It'd work fine in a cartoon, and in my imagination.   

Personally, I'd go for the straight run. That dip doesn't save any space above it because the rollers fill it up anyway.

Agreed with Guy...straight run conventional layout.
That layout would slow the tracks movement to much and one good high speed jump would cause the tracks to tighten to the point where it probably rip the return rollers off .
