So the track that I loved soooo much delaminated on me (ATTACK XT) great track but I'm guessing with the studs in the lug its creating heat and flexing at speed on hard conditions and falling....Yes I had lots of lube and track clips never get hot...infact my duponts slidders are still new!!...(thats a yamaha first sliders outlasting a track)

So the 3 tracks I'm thinking are the:

BACKCOUNTRY 1.75

or
RIPSAW 1.5

or possibly
RIPSAW II

I know you like top speed... get the ripsaw 2 ...you wont be sorry...If I sell my sled I have one new in the box...but if I keep it...thats whats going on it....
 
How many miles on that track? I remember you just installed it last year? I believe there is a one year warranty...you should be reimbursed, imo.

Do you have pics of the delam? I have the same track and want to check for early signs, if any.

Not so much anymore....liking the backcountry alot more lattle.... after going fast for so long it gets boring.. actually If I could sell the sell I would buy a Nytro XTX 1.75... I miss my Nytro allot!
 
I believe he has some miles and high speed running..kills the soft rubber tracks...the rip2 is alot like the old predator ....

Yes looks like they are warranting it...thats why I was asking what to replace it with... My buddy added an ICE attack non xt the 1" version to his Apex turbo....11 miles first run it started to throw lugs.... IMO these tracks are great except for long lake pulls...

I will post pixs....track looked perfect...then instantly doing a high speed wide left turn on ice/hard pack with lube (mild wet day on the lake above freezing)...the right side lugs started to spit...the turn was done at 100mph, and it only delaminated on the one side.. only did about 10miles that day..again my dupont sliders are still perfect

We had stupid snow this year...the lake were always powder....the track got killed on its FIRST hard pack lake run!! the rest of the season was in very soft snow
 
Trust me...for you..rip 2 (don't know why they cal it ripsaw anything since its nothing like the ripsaw)

You won't regret it...

You may be right...cause the Attack XT is a Ripsaw II with the studs..and I loved the track..

Or maybe the same track Attack XT and sell the sled...may be more sellable with the pre-studded track?
 
Good to hear that Camoplast is stepping up.

Definitely will be monitoring my track, however it's not often I do any real long high speed runs, especially hard pack this year. Plenty of loose snow running...quite happy with my track, so far.
 
yes my ice attak pre studded track did exactly the same thing delaminated on right side put track on in feb with awsome snow about 10 lugs ripped off right side i do alot of high speed running saw the tears and said w t f?! so will call tracks usa and try to claim on warranty

Samething...right side only about 10 lugs!!
 
I picked a up a brand new 144" 1.25" Predator fully clipped last year for my Turbo Nytro and it's the best performance track ever made! Extremely durable, provides excellent traction for trail riding and field racing. Over 800 miles of trail and field abuse powered by 270hp with no studs and it's like brand new. I have raced Turbo cats with some killer long studs and never gave up more then half a ski length. It's a shame Camoplast doesn't make it anymore. The newer tracks are simply too soft for my liking and will never live as long as the Predator.
