I run my track fairly tight, maybe an inch of sag @ 10lbs. Had 3 sleds with avids, no noise tho. If your running a new maverick tighten the fug outta it, mine stretched a ton after 2 rides.

I'll answer for Darko. Avid's are a must with any type of boost!!! Your stockers will not last at all. I also run my tracks tight or they always ratchet even with extroverts.

Tookes, its a must for the avids, if you dont the stock drivers will look like this after 15 miles at 12lbs of boost with a banjo tight track.Notice, even the shaft slipped on the inside of the driver and rounded out the driver!

from what i have seen if you keep your track a little loose the stock drivers will work ok if your doin 12 pounds a boost..but if you keep it to lose or tight it will not turn out good

Those look like Doo drivers, correct?

I thought Yami re-designed the drivers for 2008 and they were suppose to be alot stronger?
I had my shaft out for the track swap and had a set of avids...so after what I saw on my apex they were going on. My apex ones with 1500miles and no boost were gettin pretty ugly lookin. I'm sure these will quiet up after a few miles.

So I take it the answer to the track question is yes a 16" will fit in the Nytro?

No, those were avid drivers, night and day difference and looked brand new after 900 miles of 15lbs of boost.

The avids come with a Trued marking on them, one on each driver. Maybe those were out of alignment. Even when useing those markings, if you lay the drivers on a flat surface see if the driver rocks back and fourth slightly.
Ok HYFLYR, you no doubt made your point, looks like one of your dogs got a hold of them...
Ordering now....
Ok,ok they might have nibbled on them a bit too.
