Stabbed my track today!

[Rixster]

Stabbed the track and broke the rail tip off! I am in need of a cat 159 rail. Really just need one.
Fit a 2004 king. (I know they were 162 but I changed mine to 159s)

Now I see how you did it, I thought that the earlier curved front rails wouldn't stab at all being that close to the drivers and the end pointing away from the track?

I am running extro drivers. I guess the track tends to stick to the drivers a bit and it throws the track up at the rail tips. I even have a anti stab kit on and still stabbed the $4!T out of it.

Good to know! I thought I was invinsible to track stabbing since I got the BDX antistab kit. I have such bad rail tip wear my rail tips are shot before my sliders, go figure. For some reason I still noticed with my rail tips wearing but not as much even with the rollers. I can hear them now through the big bumps so I know they are helping at least. Maybe my track is sticking really bad to my drivers to be causing this?

was it a ported track?

did you install the anti stab kit properly? pics?

 

[Rixster]

Yeah the track was ported. I am sure that is a BIG part of it. I will get some pics today. I bulit my own anti stab so it might not be as effective as others, running 2 wheels in the middle.

The wheels have to be up even with the tips to do any good. At least you'll be rid of the A20.

 

[Rixster]

Yeah, I though about putting the wheels through the bolts that hold the rail caps on. I guess that is where I should have put them. I really didn't mine the A20, after straightening the paddles and turning it around it worked great! Guess I can buy another power claw! that track is unstoppable in the deep! And I will move the anti stab wheels forward a bit this time.

The BDX kit installs in the rail tip bolt holes. You simply have to drill them out bigger and they even give you new rail tips with 4 wheels (two inner and two outer) for $80. Can't go wrong and it would have saved you more than that in the damage you just occurred. It is a very straightforward kit that I can't see it not working with almost any sled out there, super easy to install in under 15 minutes as well.
