Thinking Of Buying KIMPEX 3.0 TRACKS ? Read this 1st.

[Mongrol]

No accessory is perfect but defects have to be handled & acknowledged by the Mfg.

Read this thread if you have the time (its a long one) or look at the pics starting #218 and see what kimpex denies is a problem.

I guess I've seen their shoddy el cheapo products for a long time in the sled world, but the name "kimpex" doesn't mean quality to me. All I see in that name is "made in china knockoff". I have no problem with that if it's crap like snowflaps or windshields, but it's harder to swallow when it's a fairly critical (and more expensive) parts that are poorly made.

At any rate, trying to shame them into fixing their crap is probably futile, *but* it's a good reminder for those researching and have never heard of the brand!

Well sorry to read OBVIOUSLY NOT! I been thinking about tracks, they just carry a hefty price tag. Not buying tracks from a company that won't stand behind its product. Thanks for the info.

24,020 viewers & most all of them agree with this post.

Tracks


I copied this post from another site about a different type of Track to show that Mfg's do read these firums & will act if there is some percieved oressure.

By the way. I had posted on Trackshare & other sites about our problems and the rep. must have seen the posts somewhere because he asked me if i was going to post the good things as well as the bad. Well, i have posted the good.

Yes Muskyhunter. That's what happened. The hub bearings were seizing and the hub was coming apart at the top. Sorry to hear about your bad experience. As Mongrol says, a lot of people read these posts and the manufactures hate bad publicity. So it certainly helped us to post at different forums.

Doesn't SOUCY make the tracks for Kimpex? I don't think Kimpex manufactures anything do they?

 

[Mongrol]

It appears thar KIMPEX is a branch of SOUCY dealing with sales primarily.

thx for the input.
