Intralox track does not have as much traction as TTS or MTS.
However as Will discussed, it has excellent turning ability which
is critical for a tank destroyer.

I love my Intralox track.

However I will be truthful.

1)  My Hetzer throws track more often than other tank.
However, I can reinstall track in less than five minutes.

2)  It did snap links in the nasty gravel on the first day
at the Fall Brawl 2006 until I discovered that loose
track tension is better on gravel and tight track tension
is better on grass.  However, I can repair track in less 
than ten minutes.

3)  It is more expensive than TTS or MTS.  However,
I am still using the same pair of tracks that I started
with four years ago.

4)  John installed Intralox on his PzKfw IV #T012 and got
less traction but better turning.  You might ask John and 
Tony Tyree, the current owner.

Bottom line

More expensive but an easy reliable off-the-shelf solution

The more traction you have the power it takes to turn. I worked to reduce traction to turn better.

How well do the Intralox tracks work? Looks like they wouldn't have a lot of traction. 
 
Aahz.
