Track slipping

[nytro41]

I have an rx1 running 12 pounds of boost and i cant for the life of me get the thing to stop slipping. ive got no slip drivers in it and the track is so tight you can play it like a guitar string. Does anybody have anything else i could try.

are you running avid drivers? get them if not.you may have spun the drivers on the shaft too once they start they are done in no time.

no i havent spun them on the shaft i know that. its the drivers slipping. im not sure what drivers they are. but its annoying. seems to do it more in powder then on the hard packed.

The antislip drivers are wore out on the part that goes through the drive windows. Once they start slipping they wear to a point on the side that pushes against the windows and the only way I got mine to quit slipping was to press them off and reinstall them backwards. I did this twice and got a season out of them but finally had to buy some new ones. I had to get another set of Wahl's because Avid doesn't make them in the 8 tooth 2.52 pitch.

get avids... if yours are black plastic, there wahls, and they just dont hold up, there fine, until you ratchet them, and then they turn to **** very quickly.

How are your transfer rod setings? Max transfer to the track?

 

[twincam88]

this is a dumb question but are the drives and the track the same pitch? and are the drives timed properly

Are all of your bearings on you drive shaft good, it sounds to me like you could have lost a drive shaft bearing. Whal drivers will last a long time but if you rachet them they go fast.

Is it possible that your chain is slipping? I would look into the chaincase and mark your drivers to rule out they are not spinning on the shaft.

X2 I thought the same thing and have been through this. I thought my track was racheting but it was actually my chain was too loose. Luckily I caught it early and didn't do any damage.

i know its not the chain we checked that. we put with the 2 1/2 whole on to the 3" shaft. therefore we are not slipping them on the driveshaft.

What are you running for rear suspension and what is your track tension
If you have 3 or 4 inches of hanging slack that's yer problem
That's a good thing with a stock sled but with big track speed it's a bad thing
