Anyone stabbed Rails thru the Power Claw?

Just had a track stab on my 09 M8 LE...1050 miles on it and was just adjusted couple rides ago. Only got to ride it a couple times this year. AC customer service is terrible. I talked to a guy at customer service in Minnesota about it and he literally laughed at me...yeah he was laughing on the phone. Pissed me off. If they aren't going to cover it under warranty...which is fine...but there is no need to treat their customers like crap. I have talked to a couple guys that raced and still do race for AC and they say they have heard of this happening a lot, especially with these new single ply tracks.

Just added a BDX anti stab kit tonight. I had some ballooning of my track last weekend and where we go often the only way out is a heli lift, so needless to say, I was worried about a track stab and needed the kit.

Anyone know if the 09-10 Crossfires with the Powerclaw track added will have the stabbing issue also? My buddy has one, a 09 but I haven't heard much about the since they are not stock with the PC. He added a PC after he bought the sled.

You can't use that as a guideline with extroverts. If it is too loose it will wrap around your drivers and you will stab it. Keep an eye on your track tension, especially with a single-ply track.

I never thought of that, not sure how much truth there is to it in real life but in theory it could make a difference. Tips should be longer or taller if they could. Someone could make some money machining large plastic rail tips.

I had the hi perf anti stab wheel kit on my converted 137" switchback and the left side bolt walked out and I lost the wheel assy. USE RED LOCTITE. I don't like the idea of the anti stab kit simply because the drag from the speed that little wheel spins. Otherwise they do the trick.
