[NewfieBullet1973]

Holy C@#p - sorry about the track but that was one SICK vid!!!

 

[cobbycat]

sweet vid, sorry about the track, I doubt they will warranty it. don't show them the video!!!!lol

 

[Flange]

Great footage! Glad to see you didn't get hurt.

 

[rooner]

was this in utah near the farminton area? i think i saw you

 

[Sick]

Indeed it was in Utah on the back side of Farmington

I think there has to be a major flaw. I have seen people drive over 10x worse and nothing has happend.

i would agree there was something other than the tree that caused the snap, maybe stuck the rails through it or somethin. i know ive hit ALOT worse trees than that basically every weekend(in the winter of course) over the last 3 years with my ported track on my cat with none of them shenanogans(knock on wood) and am only missing one lug. have seen a buddy stab a track with the rails though, it was kinda like that.

 

[GMCRMK]

Did you take a photo of the tree you hit?

 

[570MC]

Thats why i own cat lol

The sled gets airborne from hitting a stump and you want it to be warrantied............Suck it up, and buy yourself a new track.

Thanks for your post & video, hope this helps.
What I see the tree did not reach the track and I’m positive the small tree in question did not put the sled into the air that way. Something like “a jagged rock underneath” could though.
Warranty: Is worth a try, but! Not by forcing the issue.
Verdict: You play you pay.

Which track did you replace the C-Lite with? Hard to tell from the pics Glad you didn't get wadded up ... that was a rough dismount

 

[boondocking fool]

when you want to stop , you cant , when you dont , you do. killer dismount , good luck

Same thing happened to me last week!

My 06 summit x 151 track ripped in 1/2 a couple days ago. I was WOT headed for the base of a hill when she popped and wadded up around the drive axle. I didn't hit anything at that moment, so I must have caught something earlier in the day to tear it. Maybe we can get a package deal on a couple new tracks! LOL

I watched that vid over and over and can tell you it was not a track flaw. Anyone that runs the circuit can tell you we hit a lot of different hard sharp crap running up a course, and that never happens. IMHO I think it was a combo of hitting the first and second tree that caused that. The first tree trunk probably broke, punched through one of the port holes, caught a cross brace in the suspension causing the track to tear and started a chain reaction that probably included that second tree trunk doing the same thing. Now I'm not a certified track malfunction analyst, but with those pics and the video floating around I don't think you have much of a case. Hope you found some insight in that blurb, not trying to bash at all. Good luck either way.

10 points on the dismount, at least you got the video out of the deal!

If you keep posting that video all over the place, the greenies might send you another bill for that poor tree. sorry, i know tracks are expensive. glad you ok, good luck on a warranty.

 

[hotshot]

Great video. I think I would at least take it to your dealer. Looks like a freak thing. Good luck

 

[crix]

When trees fight back it hits the pocket book huh

 

[Coxy]

Sorry you wrecked your track, and probably need a chiropractor, but damn dude, that was AWESOME!!!
