caterpillar or tank chain

Please, can give me someone some advice for animating a caterpillar or tank chain?

 

I tried two different methods:

1.: the chain is one piece with a Path Deform Modifier applied to it.

si it can easily be animated along the Path. Problem: it gets "deformed"!

 

2.: a couple of chain links are animated with the help of a path constraint controller.

Problem: every link must be animated separately.

Changing the speed is a painful task.

 

Can anyone help? i am not very experienced with animation and could really need some advice!

Thanks in advance

Gue
