All kidding aside, It looks like you got those track links down pat. One thing I would have tried to do is,machine the two holes or web in the sides of the links if possible. Can't wait to see some grousers spitting out of that machining center.
The casting of the outer body is a interesting idea. Maybe you have a product to sell down the road as a whole D11 kit.
