extroverts needed? racheting?

[n2oiroc]

i didnt have time to stud my attak this past season, but i have heard of a lot of racheting problems. am i going to rachet with 162 studs and the track tension reasonably set? i dont want to stud this track just to have to pull it and sent it out mid season to get punched and clipped. if racheting is going to happen i would rather just buy a new fully clipped track and sell my current track. i ran into that with my viper when i went to 8 tooth drivers and it pissed me off not being able to punch it off the line! also what 9 tooth extroverts fit without machining or grinding the rail tips? thanks!

edit: anyone run extroverts on a fully punched but clipped every third track? i just looked and the fully clipped ripsaw is heavy! then i could just chisel the closed windows.

Attak

I ran 162 in the center last year on my Attak, I noticed little to no racheting with proper track tenstion. Ran ~1000 miles on same hyfax and no wheel issues....pretty crappy conditions in Central NY too.

Only other item I did was to cut out the closed windows at around the 500 mile mark. good luck[/i]

i think ill just go with the doo extroverts ($105 a pair shipped) and punch the track myself. a lot of guys dont think clipping is necessary, but if it winds up that it is then ill clip it.

What do you do to punch out the track? Just use a knife of some sort and cut out the track? I have a stock Attack RipSaw comming with the suspension and I assume it the same track as yours. I will be adding the extroverts as well.

Excellent quality work for track punching and clipping

No clips needed in the newly opened windows unless you plan on running Hyperfaxes , then they should be fully clipped.
