After riding my sled like 15min ago, I noticed everytime I got on the throttle sounded like the track was skipping. I checked the track to see how tight it was it seemed to be fine, anyone help out?
check your chain tension in the chain case

May have to run track tighter than you think also. Mine skipped when i first got the sled. had to tighten it up a bit.
I had that problem as well. These Nytro's like the track run tighter than any other sled I've owned but when I actually hung a weight from the track like the manual for the sled says and adjusted it to the factory spec. it quit ratcheting even with studs on grass. Do it like the manual says and it should be fine even though that seems really tight.

As the track gets some miles on it, it may stretch some too. ive adjusted mine a few times.

That would make sense, but i only have 1047 miles on it? Im going to try some of the methods the guys above suggested.

It would def have stretched after that many miles. Thats a lot of revolutions of the track. just something to think about
I had the same issue last year. For this year i fully clipped the track and put on some extroverts. I haven't tested it this year, but many have done this with positive results.
