Vexplorer Tread Kit

Is anyone familiar with the Vexplorer Tread Kit? I have one that I was thinking of upgrading my omnibot with, but wasn't sure if it would take the weight. Keep in mind it will have a larger battery (12V) and two guns for arms. So there will be a slight weight increase over the original weight. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
