At speeds above 100 on the dream-meter i cannot seem to get rid of a 'clunking' sound in the tunnel that i do not see what is other then track ratcheting. It's best described as a clunking sound every 3 seconds or so. But it's like its only one clunk/ratchet at a time.Any ideas? I have the Wahl Bros drivers, is there a better choice?
 
That's weird. At 100 the track does rotated many revolutions in 3 seconds so it can not be related to the track directly. It sounds like the track is occilating for some reason. How is your track tention? Is the limiter straps adjusted equally? Is your track aligned properly? Have you checked the front W-arm in the skid for cracks. I have the 9T Whalbros as well. I did have to mill them down to prevent them hitting the front aksel of the skid, have you milled down yours. The wheels where out of round, they were slightly oval. It may cause some occilation of the track making the drive aksel move back just enough for the teeths of the drivers to hit the front aksel in the skid. Just my 2 cents
