We put some pics of Trevor Erickson's converted IQ 600 on the Boondockers site.

Everyone that has tried one has been amazed by how well they handle.
This is very cool IMO. How are the tracks holding up to the rocks, sand, dirt and mud?
About a thousand miles. They are working with Camoplast to develop a special track as well for this application for the production model.
I was wondering about that. I don't think rock like Moab would be trouble, but I would think that sharper rocks, logs etc could tear the hell out of the track. Must be an awful stiff track. What size lugs are they using?
The track is a special "knobby" track it basically has the same look/feel as a motorbike tire. The lugs are 3/4" to 1" and super stiff and look just like nubs on motorbike tires.
I had the privilege of riding the IQ version at the sand dunes. You can carve it, you can side hill it, you can jump the crap out of it. They do get a little warm (it was 101 the day we tested it). But its ridiculously fast and feels like a sled, not a quad.
The sled i rode still had hifax on it. They had done 1200 miles on the dirt and the hifax still looked ok. would need to be replaced every 1200-1500 miles. but thats a summers worth of riding easy.
Am I the only one that would feel like a crazy redneck hillbilly if I was riding one of those in the dirt. JMO
