How’s attak track Ratcheting with AC skid?

[traverse tzeits]

I did decide to remove the stock rear track mounts and replace them with aluminum plates to save weight and clean up the mounts. Also stretched it to 144 inch camoplast 9173H 15x144x1.25" Ice Ripper XT

aluminum for the rear bracket should be t-6160 grade. 3/16" thick. there is no more ratcheting with the ac skid in place.

I used t6160 that was just under 1/4 thick, Had to flex the tunnel to get the rear skid arm in place.

So far it is working great! I am running the track very loose (1 1/2' to 2" of slack) and so far no ratcheting.

This set up rocks on the trail hooks up on packed trail there is some track spin but if dose not spin out (lose grip) like the Yamaha skid did. Also stretched it to 144 inch camoplast 9173H 15x144x1.25" Ice Ripper XT! I am running the track very loose (1 3/4' to 2 1/4" of slack) and so far no ratcheting even when jumping ditches or hard packed (no track spin) the only problem so far is the front skid shock spring is to soft I am looking for a heaver one.

I am fantasizing about a 141 or 144 AC skid for my Attak. Did you not extend the tunnel? Is that a 141 set back for 144? Long term review?
