Has anyone tried to mount plastic tracks on 26" tires? I know I would need a custom body, but by doing this I could add a third bearing on the axles by adding another channel outside the orginal frame. If the 26" tires don't jump off the tracks; I think I could dual the tires and tracks giving me a very soft foot print in the marshes of louisiana. I think they only sell tires 21" or 22" with tracks because of the clearance under the tub; if I built a custom tub this should not be an issue. How about it, what information can anyone help me with???}}}}}}
