Have you looked at the tracks for Bruder toys? They make a 1:16 tractor with plastic linked tracks:
https://brudertoyshop.com/products/c...-tractor-02444
They work a lot like Lego tank treads, only larger and more durable. The appearance is probably not what you're looking for exactly, but it might be an option to play with if you don't mind the construction aesthetic. You can also see what they did with their rubber grippers and possibly take some inspiration from that. They use little rubber inserts that get installed between the links every so often. I found a spare one of these that was missing parts at a thrift shop a while back for a few bucks but it has both tracks (which was why I bought it). You would probably need more than one tractor's worth of tracks for this but if you want to build and test one side's worth of Warthog tracks out of these I can supply you with the links for one side.
You can buy as much of the track as you want direct from Bruder here if it works out:

And you can get the little rubber things there as well:

Bruder uses the same type of treads on a few other construction vehicles but I don't know if they are the same exact size or not.
Here are a few of the other tracked Bruder options you can buy just the tracks for:

(in yellow... Tiger Force?)
https://store.bruderservice.com/02457.html
https://store.bruderservice.com/02439.html
There may be others, but I'm not sure. I know there are also some rubber-tracked options there if you want to cut and glue them as you have described.
