Hi

I have a Nytro mtx 153 with a power claw track and iceage/timbersled skid.

Track vibrate at 23 mph, feels that it comes from the drivers area. Perhaps more to the left, not sure!

It decreases slightly when the speed increases, my buddy have a Nytro 144 with a back country track with extrovert. And it is absolutely no vibration.

Have measured the drivers, and it is correct ( i think ) and the track is centered.

???

Have no idler wheels and is wondering if some anti stab wheels in front helps ?

What are you guys experience, is it normal to have some vibrations ?

Thanks

My does vibrate some 18ish to approx 30 MPH. Doo no-slip drivers with a camo 16" 2" challenger track.
I went though the sled pretty good, just make that there wasn't anything wrong and it all checked out ok.
Some track/driver/suspension combinations seem to transmit more vibration then others.
Track tension seems to effect it the most, sometimes it's a matter of playing with the adjustment to find the "sweet spot".
I did find that running the track a little looser reduced the vibration some.

Just put a 153 skid and challenger track into my fx. I used wahl bros anti ratchet drivers and have quite a bit of vibration also. Directions say the drivers need to be worn in a full days worth of riding. I've got about 110miles on them as of now and still have vibration. Seems to come and go, not really any particular pattern to it.

I noticed if i pushed the track over by hand, the drivers will walk back and forth from font to back of the windows depending on which direction you push the track, and eventually hit one of the clips. This is where I think the vibration is comming from.

Might try and loosen up the track, I've got it pretty tight right now to wear in the drivers according to the directions. I'm running out of ideas also.
 
costello did you cut off the little nubs on the outside of the windows?

That is what my wahls would do.

yeah cut those off already, gonna ride tonight with the track a little looser and see if that does anything.
