ABSTRACT This invention provides an articulating beam and belt system for an endless track vehicle drive. This track drive, in single or multiple configurations, is attached only by resilient means to the vehiclebody, allowing the beam and belt system to track freely. The belt used can flex universally, preferably with resilient resistance to flexing. It is supported by wheels attached to a jointed beam that articulates at each joint. Initiation of track curvature is accomplished by forced rotation of the end beam links. Beam articulation with full belt flexing is so designed to allow the beam support wheels to roll the beam into a curved configuration, thereby changing vehicle direction with a minimum of sliding friction between ground and track.
