I bought a 07 m8 took it out for the first time today. When I'm climbing at full throttle it seems like it is slipping out of the drivers interminttently.
What would cause this? It does have new drivers and bearings. Is it track tension.
Thanks

Sounds like your track might be too loose. Lift the track off the ground and hang a 20# weight in the center then measure from the bottom of the rails to the track it shoud be around 2".

You are either hitting the crossbar because of worn hyfax or hitting your rail tips. Should be easy to see which one has the marks on them.
