What is the width of the tires? At 24" you must have done some tub modifications? Thanks for the track guide template!

10" for the tire width and yes I had to push back up the low part just behind the front seat. Easy to do and hard to spot for most people.

Thanks for the dimensions, and again a really great job
Any chance you have tried to swim with them yet? I wonder how they would compare to the adair tracks?

the track profile got a lot of paddles but I'm not sure it will swim a lot. It's a winter track set optimized for ice and snow. Right now there's no open waters to test any swimming abilities; next time to test it in water will be in April/May.
So if your goal is to get a set of swimming tracks, better get the Adair system. (even more if you are in SC)

What would you recommend is the best way to cut a rubber track?
That's really cool SMOG. Very nice.

LOL The Sawsall!!!! Love it. I have been pondering just taking a snomobile track like yours and cutting a double paddle section and fastening to my Supertrackes like every other track segment. I think I could end up with similar traction results as you did. I think the Supertracks are a good base(mounting) to attach rubber track sections to. They don't weigh that much and I would reduce the weight of the rubber by only using half. A plastic track segment has to weigh half of what an even sized piece of rubber track does so the overall result would prolly weigh less than a fully rubber track, no?
Smog,
I noticed you offset the track so the extra non tire contact area is toward the inside of the tub rather than on the outside. Was there a practicle reason for doing it that way? I was thinking I would want it the other way to get more spacing between the track and tub. What am I missing?
