Can anyone tell me how aftermarket rubber tracks hold up compared to Cat oem ?
Welcome to the Forums epyinc!:drinkup
Aftermarket rubber tracks are a crapshoot, some are good and some are well crap.
I don't know if Cat OEM's hold up any better than the good aftermarket tracks but a mini-ex depending on application is not hard on rubber tracks. My philosophy on mini's was buy a cheap track as it will take a while to wear them out.
Totally different scenario for CTL's, as a CTL is dependent on it's UC to produce. A mini's UC is just there to get it from point A to point B with minimal dozing in between.
I've had good luck with Camoplast and McLaren.
I agree 100% - for CTLs I'd never risk with cheap tracks, I'd go with McLaren or Bridgestone. Not sure about Camoplst as I never tried them. But for MX, go cheap or mid priced. Actually, McLaren offers some cheap versions for aftermarket as well.
