Track Rubbing Diamond Drive

[jzillmer34]

I have a 09 m8 162 when I'm not riding in the mountains I ran an old attack 20 to save the wear on the power claw. Sunday I had my track stab the rails and when inspecting the carnage I seen that the clips rubbed my diamond drive and cut a grove in it.
The clips are about 1/2 inch or so taller on the attack 20 than the power claw not sure if it is on other tracks as well but if your going to be running something other than a power claw you may want to check this out b4 you wear a whole in the case!
Has anyone else seen something like this happen?
Was thinking if I ever ran something different I think I would just cut the clips down so there not so tall.

hey

i just checked mine, and no rubbing. Installing a anit-stab kit is a must for the m-series. The approach angle, and loose track makes it want to stab the rails and ruin a day for sure. Sorry for your luck man. tim

all M's with reverse the track clips need to be ground down on the diamond drive side so that dose not happen.

As stated, you have to cut down the nubs and clips, (of flip clips) in order to run normal tracks with the big diamond drive. Pain in the arse, but its gotta be done.

X2 Just installed my new Camo-X both steel tabs and rubber drive lugs are rubbing on the DD case.

x3 Just flip the sled on its side and cut the clips down to size with a cutting wheel on a side grinder... took me 10 minutes.

you want to cut down the nubs that are on the outside of the rails. look at your DD and you will see the clips that will hit just grind them down a ways and you won't have to worry!
