escargo tracks ?

[mudbug3]

I believe that Video was filmed at Blackwater creek in South carolina, thats a hunting club off of exit 42 on I-95. I pass this area almost everyday while I am working and lust looking at all the great places to ride. Mike maybe could make some friends with the people that own this area.

Dan,,

Gearhead says that this is his Argo with the Escargo tracks . If so,, he lives in Ontario ,Canada

Hey Gearhead,

When you say swamp tracks only, do you mean they are rough riding in other terrain? Inquiring minds want to know...especially after seeing what those tracks are capable of.

Good and Bad

The member Y2KADLE has a set and can send you an insightful email
y2kadle@yahoo.com or message about them . He is from Alaska witch is a good indication of the terrain he faces. Muskeg summers and Icy snow winters etc.

Good things I have herd and seen and herd from owners
Is they go threw any type of snow, slush, Ice, Mud, Muskeg etc.

Bad things I have herd
The weigh allot and take away allot of power some may never leave low gear.
Cost allot of money more then standard or super tracks
Some say that they are hard on drive parts, axles and really on work on certain newer and higher models of Argos

Some older threads on them may give you some insight

I think they are definitely the most capable tracks I have seen...what fascinates me about them is that they work well in the water. Granted you have to have a lot of power...I just wonder how they do at speed, say over 10mph, and on hard packed surfaces.

There is a video on their website of a young boy driving an Argo up a loosely packed sand hill at about a 45 degree angle...crazy!

escargo tracks....

Did anyone tough about making a escargo track with aluminum instead of steel for the paddles... I think it could be lighter, easier on the drivetrain and more speed... When i saw them i was wondering about weight... they must be very very heavy, so , need a lot of power to drive them and also paddle are too hi = hard to turn, hard on brakes... If i could weld aluminum, i would try to make some...

Escargo Tracks

Anyone run the track set up from Escargo Tracks - Timmins ? THey look as though they are well constructed and well thought out.

I thought that very same thing when I first seen them. I dont think it would be all that tough to do. I can weld real well, but not set up to do Aluminum. I need to invest in a spool gun and Argon tank sometime soon. I ended up buying Roger's Supertracks in the interim. I am looking forward to seeing how they perform this winter and decide if I want to pursue it further.

I'm really happy with my super tracks. They let you float over the snow. I was on about 3 feet of snow and only sank in about 4 inches with the tracks.
