Update , rode last week in some drier snow and no issues to report, seems it was the wet heavy snow. After reading this thread I definitely believe if it was after market drivers it likely wouldn’t of happened at all.

Track ratchets what else is new…
Typically does this in heavier snow or revy stuff.
Tigher track to 5/8” sag with 10lbs hanging off the bottom. You will reduce this problem by 90%
What really inflates the problem is a center shock setup really softly, typically over 70km track speeds it will start to collapse the shock and loosens the track even more
175 users this is a really problem with track stretch

Any sort of feedback/consensus on the best solution for this? Having to run my track excessively tight these days.
Drivers? Powder freak vs. Avid? Fully clipping the track? Seems like a lot of work.
There a part number for the '25 stock drivers, but sounds like they won't be available for quite some time.

Powder freaks or avid both will work

Avid drivers or something similar.
The problem is the stock drivers on the extroverts are built to short. So when track speed goes up, it ballon’s. That said it sometimes pulls up enough off the extrovert lugs thst basically you have reduced contact by 30-50%.
Avid drivers are taller in the extrovert and basically neglect this problem.
Past that you can go up 1 tooth size, but then the driver shaft hands below the bellypan/skid plate. Not ideal but will work.

So as a follow up on this. Just got my sled back from the dealer. BRP replaced the drivers and the track under warranty! They are the new 2025 version.
Complaint was excessive ratcheting and excessive tension required.
Although it was legitimately damaged from what appeared to be driver related problems, I wasn't holding my breath on the track getting covered, but surprisingly, they did.

FYI, the drivers are available separately from the shaft for 2025 and will fit your 2024 shaft fine.
Technically they should fit the driveshafts all the way back to 2008.
