I have an 07 Attak. It has studs on it. When I open it full wide open throttle the track grabs and goes. I can't figured out if the track is literally jumping the driveshaft because its getting such good bite, or its the stock spring compressing so much that the studs are hitting the top underneath the seat. I weigh right at 200lbs. Anyone have similar problems?

Drive cogs are jumping over the drive nubs of the track under full power. VERY BAD!!
Tighten your track a little bit at a time until it goes away.
I run 1 1/4" of free-sag in my Apex. Meaning 1 1/4" between the track & hyfax under its (the track) own weight.
I run 1 3/4"-2" free-sag on my Vector, but it has anti-ratchet drivers.
