RTXrider, All our sleds have the ripsaw and also my buddies RX-1 is a 05 with mono skid. I tried non guided clips because i could see marks on my drivers where the guides were hitting.

Motor spins 10,500, but has gear reduction. Track speed is the same as any other sled. It does make a lot of power but there are other high HP sleds out there not losing clips

Drivers were turned, new suspension, different track tensions, 4th wheel kit, drop down wheel kits, extra wheels added & fastened rail tips. My friend with same sled & same riding miles has no issues. I'm thinking "energeezer" is right about my billet wheels???
I posted that about the Billet wheels but I'm not sold on the theory. My sled does not have clip issues but my buddy is convinced it is the billets based on his problem and a few of our friends who all developed the issue post billet.
Told him I'd post here and get other peoples input.
Are there many people with all stock wheels that have the issue?
Has anyone checked? Are your tracks hitting the tunnel protectors????
