Re: Has 6 wheeled designs surpased tank treads

We have used tank treads the past two years and really like the traction BUT..... We always had a low center wheel to help turn, treads are EXPENSIVE if you get them from Brecoflex, not to mention the lead time on getting your order, lastly there are plenty of pneumatic tires that can easily hold their own against treads. This year most likely we will be going to something other than treads, or maybe not depending on the game. If your teams is going with treads make sure to get your order in immediately at the begining of the season.
