I've had an idea for a while now to make a long track pararail.
Gates made the tracks for Scorp, JD, chapparal., etc.
They made an 18"wide track at the same length as a 15" Scorpion track.
(I've done this and shortened a Stinger III)
I was alwas wondering if they made a 15" wide track at the same length as an 18" Scorpion track??
Now I'd like to do the opposite.
Make sense?
Anyone know of any other makes that had a track like this?

Royal distributing carries a camoplast track for the scorpion,JD,Chapparal. They say it is a 121x15x2.52. I can't find anything that says clearly what our 80 whip is for track length or pitch.

16 inch wide, 3.29 pitch... and I'm guessing 118 long... I measured it once but can't remember

There is a thread on VS about bogey tracks. A guy says he has 15x126 2.52 bogey tracks. We can't figure out what they are for. vintagesleds.com/bs/index.php/topic,256921.0.html |

Yes that may be what I'm looking for. I couldn't find it by clicking on your link but I'll look when I have more time.
I'm just alwas trying to come up with combos that no one has tried before.
A long track like that may have some good traction for a ice racer when fully studded. Not sure about grass drag?

The early poly tracks, 70-71 were 2" pitch. From 72-75 the stingers were 2.52". Whips Stings TK, all went to 3.29"
