I got try the links stiff and soft, and after that...

I haven't tried all of the different stiffness settings on the links. I know the stiff setting on the 1.5 front links was still a bit too soft for our track, the 1.8's on the soft setting is a nice bump in front stiffness without sliding the front around a lot.

On rear flex links, I've tried the 1.2's, 1.5's and fiberglass links all on the long positions, and I tried the fiberglass links in the short position once before traction came up on our track and before I had the NFE. Right now I'm using the 1.5's in the long position and waiting for 1.2's to show up on the webstore again so I can stock up and replace the set of 1.2's I damaged, and resume testing now that I have a usable tire combo.

Right now, I would say our track is medium traction with a fairly wide groove.
