Help with tread design

I've been working a new tank, based on the one above. I've completed an LDD model and am in the process of mounted new weapons and customizing the paint scheme, but I've hit a snag with the treads. Since megablock and lego treads are so dissimilar, I can't assume that the tank's current tread setup will work, and given how hard it is to work with tread in LDD, I can't do much to adjust the system there either. Nor do I have the necessary parts to build the tread system with real bricks.

What I need is for someone who does possess the required parts to build, test, and adjust the tank's tread system, and them upload either pictures or an LDD model of the functional tread (for the reasons stated above, the LDD model doesn't need to have the tracks attached, just the wheels with any adjustment's to the treadwell made). I'd really appreciate it if someone could lend me a hand here.

Here's the current tank, with the tracks configured to match the original instructions.
