M-10 Wear

[Transporter]

What would cause the wear on the front of the rails on my Apex this bad?Is it the installation? Or is this just something that happens and I should have been replacing the front caps more often.It got this bad after two days of riding.Must have gotten worse after I let my limiter straps out a tiny bit.Also whos got some caps that they can get to Revy Tuesday.Hopefully there is enough metal to get new ones bolted to.

Looks like you might be close to stabbing the track. Who did the install? Did they follow Fast's recommended measurements? Looks like you better suck the limiter straps back up a bit!

OK who can do a quick reinstall between Revy and Kelowna tuesday?Dont want to ruin those CR polished rails anymore than they are.

Too heavy.

Sorry Lord, forgive me... that remark and the one about the pygmys in Africa...........

Run an anti-stab kit, it totally fixed that problem for me! I figured 70 is cheap for the kit compared to the 500+ for a track!

Well whats the issue?Shouldnt need anti stab kit if everything is installed properly should I?

No you shouldn't need an anti stab kit. I have had 2 M-10's with no issues. You should stop in and see Chad. Are you running alot of pressure on the front spring? How far is it between the drivers and the rail tips? Are the drivers showing alot of wear also?

Might have to drive to Kelowna I guess how many hours more from Revy?

 

[up-high]

Probably 2.5 hrs

Well come to the conclusion the rails are way to short.Tips are way to far from drivers cant keep the tips from grinding right off.Went through a new set of caps in couple hours.Anybody have an anti stab kit that will keep the track off the tips or a set of m-10 rails that are the proper dimensions and can get them to Revy.How long should a m-10 162 rail be anyways this is a solid rear axle m-10.

Give Curt a try at http://www.ftxmotorsports.com/ he just did my M-10 and has lots of parts on hand, I know he has the anti-stab kit for it. They are W of Seattle but I bet he has customers headed to Revy for the weekend. Good luck. EW
