Twin rail track options

Well my alpha track is finally giving up on life. Im entertaining the idea of switching to a twin rail and going with the epic 280 or similar track. Has any had any experience with these on the ascender chassis? I love the monorail until it comes to sub par snow on steep sidehills.
 
I have had good luck with the Conquer 280 on my Proclimb. Had the 174 and just recently switched to the 175 with 3.5 pitch and used Alpha drivers installed opposite as on the Alpha. Track works great for tractoring around. Too much throttle and it will trench but let off and ease into it more and the sled floats great. Even on steep hills the same applies. I picked up a used Doo 165 and am going to cut it down to 15 wide and install it on my other sled that has the 162 3" powerclaw and see how it works. I think the 3.5 pitch and 7" between the 3" paddles really helps with more push and less digging down. It wouldn't be hard to cut and reclip these tracks to work with Alpha rail either. I think another member on here has done it. With that setup you could switch monorail to twin rail whenever you felt like it.
 
I’m interested in those tracks as well. I’m ditching the alpha for an elevate twin rail this summer and am looking at track options

That's the direction I'm thinking of going. A 153 elevated twin rail sounds like a riot to ride.
 
Conquer 280 is a maje trench monster. Stay away.
My friend installed and after the first ride he went home and took it off right away.
Cheers!

How does that 280 do in the sugar. I love how the alpha track just chews its way out of holes, its just a beast of a track. .Thats my one hang up with getting rid of the alpha.
 
I was also looking at the epic 280 and peak 2.5, I’m not concerned about massive lug hight, what I don’t have in lug the turbo will make up for in track speed.

I have used the epic 280 on the axys, but not on the cat. It works very good in the powder. 2.8” lug gets good traction, but doesn’t trench as much as the 3” tracks. I think it would be a very good cat replacement track
 
Im not going to lie, one big selling point for the epic is that its only $860 shipped. Thats a tempting savings over getting another alpha track or even a powerclaw.
 
Buddy had a 280 on his 910 big bore pro and it didn’t impress me much. My stock ‘14 cat with a modified 2.6” pclaw would out perform it, but then again my stock cat would run neck and neck with that sled on hard pack to so it wasn’t a very impressive big bore in general.
 
A buddy of mine stuck an epic on his polaris this year. He's already missing like half a dozen lugs.

The 2.6 and 3" powerclaws are awesome. So is the camo extreme 2.7

No need to reinvent something for 'newness'. There are good reliable, proven tracks out there.
 
I think k-mod still makes suspensions for these if you can't find a stock twin.
I'd do this camo track. Then flip your driver's around like the other guy said
