Anyway to tell if 174x3" is old or new batch?

[sled-fiend]

Un rolled mine tonight and it looks fine.....

got any pics of yours yet? Middle paddles or the out side ones?? I dont understand how this could even happen??

Yea a buddy just put one on his apex and it's fine as well. But he did buy it a month or so before I bought mine.

I'll get the pics forwarded to me beginning of the week. I got no idea either. After inspecting the rest of the batch, the distributor has sent the rest of their tracks backs to camoplast, all hooped.

Now the tracks are on backorder. I've been trying to call camoplast over the last few days, no returned calls so I'm hoping that they have been closed Xmas to New Years and not ignoring me. I now really need them to scrap their original plan and get me a track direct (since wps and marshall now have them back ordered).

Gong show, not impressed.

do you have a 2.5 that you can run or now?

buy from a canadian shop and then you are assured of warranty with a canadian supplier standing behind them.

Sorry I wasn't clear, what I meant to say is make sure there is a good supplier behind the retailer and you should have all costs covered.

Some suppliers don't cover the shipping of the tracks to camoplast during the warrantly process claim. Mine does. So if you get a track here, everything is covered.

The process for all retailers of tracks is that they must submit pictures to camoplast to see if the failure warrants a full warranty inspection. If it does, the retailer has to ship the track to camoplast where they determine if it is covered and issue a warranty. Then a new track is shipped to the retailer / supplier.

Problem is shipping is big bucks as they are heavy, so ask if all costs are covered for warranty claims first. Get it in Writing..

Also I was told that there was a huge surplus of old tracks from the bad batches that were bought up with big discounts and no warranty. Not sure how to tell if they are old or not but one should do their homework. All tracks have a serial number and camoplast knows which ones aren't covered.
