Answers.Text: +1, threads like these are used all the time in GBC modules. Although not as versatile as [Technic Tread Links](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=57518&idColor=85#T=C&C=85) they are slightly smaller in width which could be an advantage for smaller models. They can also be used as conveyor belts as shown in the Toy Story set [Trash Compactor Escape](https://brickset.com/sets/7596-1/Trash-Compactor-Escape)

  <p>The tracks are fixed in size, and I've found the application rather limited (driver belt, track) so far.</p>

Comments.Text: Yes, that's the part... the set is a LEGO education set - not sure it the part numbers differ as I took it straight from the included part sheet.

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-09-15)
  
  Has anyone used the Tank tracks (429139) from Lego education set 9648 for anything other than a tank?
  
  The tracks are fixed in size, and I've found the application rather limited (driver belt, track) so far.
  
  At this stage they seem to be a bit of a novelty - so any feedback welcome!
