116" X 15 with a 2" drive lug pitch. These tracks can be difficult to find. Sometimes there are several available and then you won't see any for months. It's just hit and miss.

thanks robb for the info. I found a track with a 2.52 drive lug pitch would it work. Im not caught up on all the technical specs. with track pitch etc. Any info would be very helpful. Have you had to replace one and what a good brand and what about profile height? thanks , mark

find an all rubber liquifire track, the cleated tracks wear out and are hard to find like he said, i had one for sale tho and nobody from the site even asked me about it.... dunno what is up with that. Anyways, i am glad i kept it now, i need it but will sell it eventually as I know of a good liquifire tack and suspension which gives a guy more travel and more track life. There is info in the FAQ on track swapping. Good luck.

Hi Guys,

Check the track interchange FAQ, should answer most of your questions.
