    No slippage at all. With a tire like the Argo tire with Escargo tracks it almost works like a sprocket, the grousers sit inside some of the tire treads and gives a positive drive.

      that's one of the best qualities of the elevated belt track, even for older low hp machines. Or machines that want even more grunt to do some serious climbing. Regardless of the gearing a person has or engine/clutch/tranny gear mods they do, the elevated belt will give even more of a gearing advantage. So you can kind of tweak it to best fit your machine. Most of the conquests up here are MU geared, and their low range with the escargo track crawls and climbs very well. It was a concept that I didn't really embrace until I looked at how the crosser cleats "splay out"...so that a shorter track (compared to an over-the-tread track) can actually cover the larger distance required to wrap the tire treads.
      I wound her out on a flat clean road and the speedo read 30 kmh, I didn't look at the gps to see the actual travel speed but I think about 22?? Next time out I'll look at the gps and speedo to compare the difference. My guess is about a 25% gear reduction.
