Setting it to "repeat" is advisable.

That's pretty cool, how did you do that? By the way you can take out the watermark for free by just registering

To start off the tracks need to be assembled, each link needs to have the correct custom rotation where the metal pin would stand in the real ones, once you have a couple done just copy and paste until its big enough to conect from start to end.

Remember that they are parented each one to its previous track.

After that you have to animate each frame with a certain interval (I like 10 frames) until the first link reaches the turning point where it wont go straight any longer (it should be at the bottom), then you search a point where the position links with the start and make it be the exact same to what the start is so you can copy and paste it and so on, that way then you can just change the speeds (and refine the shape).

 

It's advisable to use tracks that are symetric so you can copy one to the other side without bigger problems.

Welp, I have finally finished the track loop and its now almost flawless, next I should do is improving the overall way the tracks move.
