Has anyone seen this?
I bought a turbo pro with 300 miles and each time I ride it I lose 2 paddles..
I'm not going over 45 mph and not hitting anything. Upon closer inspection of the track I found that nearly every paddle is delaminating. Wtf. I don't have a receipt for the track so am I screwed or are there any dealers that are willing to help?

You are probably screwed. Why would a dealer help? They have nothing to do with the 3" track. Did you purchase/install the track or the previous owner? You can talk to camoplast, they might help.

I just had one warrantied for the same thing. You need to find the dealer it was bought through and have them start a claim.

It might have been one of the first batch...my friend and brothers de laminated in a ride...you could see the rubber look like it wasn't hot enough and fill the mold type look.

Short of it, someone looked at pics and I think sent someone to look at tracks.checked and recorded track/batch numbers etc. .....new track for my brother.

Just count how many paddles you have and then divide that number by 2 then you'll know how many rides you have left

I had the same problem on my first x3, the paddle would rip clean off from the track, Brad at Par went to battle for me and got me a new track. I had 2-3 rides on it and was missing half a dozen lugs. I haven't had any problems with this track. (Knock on wood).

Hope your dealer can get it worked out for you, that sucks!!

Called camo, they can't do anything but they looked up the serial # and the distributor was western power sports so I called them and they were able to give me the dealer name. So I called him and he said he would help. Now I just have to pull it off and get it to him. Well, it is a step in the right direction!

Thanks to addictive power sports in great falls I got a 3 in powerclaw
Today and for a really good price. They also said they would help me pursue
The warranty issue with camoplast.

FYI

3 inch Cat Powerclaw is lighter than the standard 2.6 Powerclaw

Rode the 3 inch claw today! WOW does it bite!
Doesn't seem to push as much in the corners as
The camo does. Also no paddles came off. Lol
It throws a rooster twice the size of the 2.6. Riders behind me
Beware

Any feedback on cooling with the 3" PC vs the camo in marginal conditions?

I don't expect it to be any better but thought I would ask.

My 2.6PC cools better than my 2.25 did.

That is promising. I may try a 3" track yet.
