Question Obscure tracked prototypes?

Although we're mostly about RC tanks here, if you were to build something tracked that was originally a wheeled vehicle what would it be?

I once saw a Willys JEEP with a tracked chassis under it that I thought was neat and obscure until I ran across this on Facebook:

The ripsaw is my favorite (70mph top speed). I wouldnt use any existing shell. Would probably do a cage similar to a rock crawler and cover sections with panels. Also Bigfoot Fastrax (They used to two big block motors to power each side!) from the eighties is an AMAZING machine...
