An endless track drive that can be coupled to a vehicle includes a plurality of track feet wherein each track foot is adapted to periodically contact a surface on which the vehicle is to travel as the endless track drive is rotated. At least one spring is coupled to each track foot. The spring(s) apply a biasing force to the track foot that positions the track foot in a neutral position relative to the endless track drive when the track foot is not in contact with the surface. The biasing force is less than a frictional force experienced by the track foot when the track foot is in contact with the surface.
