what no running video? Also got a link or a price you paid for them? I have lots of snow and have been tossing around the idea of either making snow chains or getting snow tracks.

i didnt know anyone other than rc4wd made tracks. How do they do in SOFT powder snow? Most of our stuff is deep powder so I just sink.

These tracks are from integy and where originally for a slash. So they are heavy. Crazy heavy. It had no problem with the powdery snow. I think it really benefits from such wide tracks. There should be 5+ inches tomorrow so that should be a good test. The 2 biggest problems I'm having is the torque twist and the stress put on the motor. I'm geared way down but the motor still gets red hot. Here's the link to the ones I'm using Front Snowmobile & Sandmobile Conversion for Traxxas 1/10 Stampede 4X4 Slash 4X4 for R/C or RC - Team Integy

Really cool. I'm curious how well they float. We have about a foot and would like to see how they stay on top.

Cool thing! What motor do you run? Are they a direct fit or what do we need to mount them on the SCX10?
Cheers Rene

Well I was able to do some more running



http://static.photobucket.com/player...ps04aa9c07.mp4

I'm currently running a 45 turn rc4wd motor. It was 10° out and even with a fan on it it still ran hot. The tracks mount to the hex and then there is a bracket that hugs the C hub. It's a direct fit for the front but the rear bracket is different. The rear is larger and higher up than the front. I hacked up a shock hoop for a base. There is some play on the rear tracks and that resulted in one track pointing down when it got clogged with snow. But for the most part the tracks did a good job of staying above the snow

It was a blast to plow through the snow and it looked good doing it! I got stuck about as often as the mad force did (which is saying a lot considering one has huge tires) nothing else could hack it today

I like the tracks and the way it preforms. Just have to iron out the 2 major problems:

Securing the rear tracks. I may have to find someone to weld a hunk of aluminum for me

Motor heat/power. The only other motors I have sitting around its a 27, 21 turn and a vellion brushless system. I might end up getting a dual motor mount and run 2 45's

Thank!
