Tracknoise on Dutch CV9035

Hear the difference in noise coming from the old metal tracks and the new rubber tracks that will be fitted to all Dutch CV-90's during the Mid Life Update in the coming years.

Hardly any tracknoise coming from those rubber tracks.

Je kunt niet een tank met een infanterievoertuig vergelijken, ze hebben totaal andere doeleinden

Dan blijft er helemaal geen ruimte meer over om iets of iemand mee te nemen 😊

they are just a pain to put back on if you drop a track

[@DutchDefencePress1]

So are metal tracks, right?

[@deeksiemeh2089]

@@DutchDefencePress1 not really.. cause you can split the metal links.. whereas you cant on a rubbertrack

@@deeksiemeh2089 You are less likely to drop a track with CRT : "To ensure good fitment, CRT is 30-50% higher than conventional steel tracks in terms of nominal track tension, meaning vehicle movements that might slacken and lose a steel track are less likely to see CRT come off, up 87% less so according to trials data."
And it offers enormous advantages over conventionnal metal tracks : up to 60% weight savings over steel equivalents, fuel saving of ups to 33%, greater buoyancy, 60% and 70% reduction to noise and vibrations respectively.
Oh and with CRT there's no need to replace 150 rubber pads after 600km or 14 road wheels every 1500 km. "The CRT system (the tracks, road wheels, idlers, sprockets and return rollers) is a complete system that is replaced as a set and all has a uniform life span. You install a CRT set onto the vehicle and then do not need to replace, adjust or maintain (other than a daily visual inspection for unanticipated damage) anything until the track is worn out at 5,000 km to 8,000 km."

@@thomaslebourdonnec4139 still a pain cause you can still loose the track, even if its a rubber. But god i remember driving our m113g3s with rubbertracks and god it was lovely no vibrations

@@deeksiemeh2089 The tendency is to go to rubber tracks. The thing with no vibrations means less wear and tear on systems and also less stress on the people inside. You come out more fit.
