Re: [FTC]: rubber inserts on tank treads

Our team is thinking about using tank treads. The tank tread kit comes with 200 tank tread chain links, but the rubber inserts come in packs of 50. Do you need to have a rubber insert for every link or do you skip links? 4 packs of rubber inserts is almost as expensive as the original tank tread kit and was just wondering if you would still get good traction if you didn't have a 1 to 1 ratio.

Any feed-back would help.

Thanks!
