I read that (maverick I thnk) put the rubber strip in his tracks to help with traction. I was wondering if it would help with crawling on rocks etc. I was thinking if it added additional strain on the drive train. I found abrasion resistant material that is the same dimensions as the material supplied by kyosho. The cost is $12 for 20 ft. From Mc Master Carr. Did I miss a post from him on the results? Any thoughts?

I ordered The material from Mc Master Carr and installed it on my tracks using industrial c a glue. On concrete it helps. When climbing stones and rocks etc on golf course it is amazing. It's like I put a set of Nikes on it. The strips added about 3 to 5 mm in hight so no big change.

Today i took my ev on a one mile hike around the neighborhood. The rubber tracks make it quiet and protect the tracks from wear.

I've been using the rubber strips for some time now and they are holding up very well. Probably drive 25 miles I take my blizzard on trail runs a couple of days a week.
