Waffle boards
Having seen Scotties in action i was quite impressed with their usefulness (is that a real word?).
Any thing i should look out for when buying a set?
Particular brands? Materials? Prices? Length? Thickness?
Presume something about as wide as my tires? Rated to 500kg / 750kg a board?
No idea on this so looking for a bit of advice / guidance.
Cheers

Re: Waffle boards
I know you can get different thicknesses. Also someone said to me they got a sheet of it 8x4 and made a few sets for mates so size/length can be big.

Re: Waffle boards
I'm pretty sure mine are the 38mm ones and 4ft long.
I can't remember who I bought them from but it was direct from the factory that made them and it was around £40 for the set, I.e the cheapest set I could find I've had them 7 years and they are still going strong, used to always use them in the SJ especially when I was out on solo green laning missions.

Re: Waffle boards
They look like they would do the job. Probably get the 50mm not the 38mm.

Re: Waffle boards
Pretty sure tracmat is the place I bought them from, do you want me to double check how thick mine are? I'm 99% sure they are 38mm though. I don't think there's any need to get any thicker than that, they'll probably weigh quite a bit more and once they are full of mud they weigh loads as it is

Re: Waffle boards
Those ones i was looking at are trakmats.
If you could double check yours Scott, the length and thickness please. For the price i think they will be a worthwhile accessory.

Re: Waffle boards
I'm just undecided. Did you search the internet and find the pic. Or nip to the kitchen and take it yourself.dan_2k_uk wrote:This thick enough?
Not sure which is the least sad answer either.
