Hey guys, just curious if anyone has seen any defects in these tracks... I just received one in the mail and it has a strange defect. I'm not sure what to do with it.

what exactly are you referring to ?

Look at the pattern of the paddles closely.
the middle paddle is where they fuse the track together
Ya this is normal the track length does not jive with the pitch and so we get one out of place lug pattern, was even like this for the challenger style tracks that cane stock 07/08

So they are all like this?
Only the 3in has the paddle in the middle.
2.25 and 2.6 have 2 paddles in a row on one side.

They could solve this if they'd just make them 150s or 156s instead of 153s...

Wow. So strange. Thanks for the help!
I noticed the same thing on mine as well when I was porting my track. I think the math just didn't work out for paddle spacing, so they just put single paddles?
It's as simple as odd and even.

Track length.
I wish the 153 was actually a 156!

My 2.6 did.. I wouldn't doubt this one will be any different.
How do you mess up a 2.6? the toughest tracks ever made.
My 2.6 is the only track ive had problems with paddles coming off. Been riding for 25+yrs

I have about 8000 miles over 3 of them and only messed up 1/2 a lug. Are you high speed trail runs in and out?
80mph a few times.
Mostly 50-60mph for short distance.
Generally 25-45mph.
My 3in has been fine, never seen faster than 70mph though.

It's crazy up here in cat land. Tracks just blowing up everywhere.
I heard the one on my sled in the garage explode while I was just sitting here typing this. That's like the 8th one this week and riding season hasn't even started.
It's amazing any of us ever get past the parking lot.
