My thoughts on this are the following: On snow / sand / soft terrain the stock plastic tracks are more then fine. It fails when you need purchase on hard terrain. I personally don't agree with the instruction mainly because it looks lopsided. If I was to do it I would do something a little more even. Adding rubber to the tracks would only help its hard terrain ability BUT theres got to be a fine line between steering effort and traction. The more traction you have the harder its going to be to steer the thing... I am thinking of trying a bunch of one inch strips, in the following format. cleat 1 2 strips outer edges cleat 2 1 strip in center cleat 3 2 strips outer edges cleat 4 1 strip in center You get the idea. This type of layout should have the best forward and side traction. At the cost of steering. How much we shall see. Running a dual motor plate should help compensate for the power loss during steering... Made a quick pic:
