OK, so I am trying to complete a tracked vehicle. Problem is finding parts. The pololu site has the tamiya track and wheel set, but I am looking for something a bit bigger and more robust. I cannot seem to find anything else. Can someone point me to a source for tracks/wheels?
Initially I thought this would be as easy as searching google for “tracks for hobby robot” but the first few results came up with the same set of polulu tracks or the tamiya set.
Iterating on that initial search a little, I found someone asking a similar question here:

Which yielded some results. I think that should give you a good start and help you advance your search.
Good luck
Also go to the SoR website and search the forums for sources for tracks.
I was just about to write about how stupid it is that tracks are this expensive, but just found lynxmotion tracks and sprockets/idlers - they are affordable and available (no where in the $300 range - they sell for 29 for 29in of track).
Just in case others are looking for this type of thing in the future
