Re: Treads Vs. Wheels

TREADS!

We used them last year (the only team to use them at Sacto and SVR) and never had much of a problem. No turning radius, never bottomed out, kept a low profile and could climb up 6-8 inch barriers with ease. If we increase our clearance this year, we will have no problem. The item i have with wheels is that if the driver goes up at an akward angle on the stairs (which i reccomend against) and screws up, I would not be surprised to see them bottom out and be stuck there and useless. But thats just me....
