Hey,
I’ve been working on various tank models for my game but have run across an issue. That being, I have no idea how to make tank tracks.

If you have knowledge on a method to making tank treads (preferably not one that drops fps by 80 per cent like hinge constraints do) then do let me know.

You can try animated textures.
It also requires a script:

for _, treads in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
	if treads:IsA("Texture") then
		while true do -- idk how to detect if tank is moving so
			treads.OffsetStudsV = treads.OffsetStudsV + 0.05 -- if  its moving weirdly set it to offsetstudsU
			task.wait(0.05) -- reduce to make it faster
			if treads.OffsetStudsV >= 2 then 
				treads.OffsetStudsV = 0
			end
		end
	end
end
