Re: New Track Option

There is no change in durometer based on the color. The treads are made of a Shore A 70 rubber which is as close to car tire rubber as we could fine.

In order to create a modular system that is easy to change and use in many applications, this was the design we arrived at. We have thought about making ones with chain that can not come apart. However, we have not had any issue with the clips coming off. Roller chain is designed to transmit much higher loads then would be seen in a track application.

Happy to answer any other questions.
Josh
