Update , recieved rover 5 today , treads feel they are very good quality rubber with only a small amount of stretch. They are not stretchy as I thought. If I do my tread conversion I may need a idler /tensioner to be sure these stay on tightly. From looking they appear they will fit I only question how snug.

Original plan for track drive , I fear it may not be as.tight as I want so I plan to install the wheels that come with the kit pressing agianst the belt to maintain tension.

Basically I can use my dremel to carefully cut a knotch dead center of the wheels , its must be a couple mm wider than the teeth on the belt. Also I must cut out the dividers between each wheel so I can get the belt in and out. I don't believe it will need anymore modifications than that:)
