Well maybe we all have to share our experiences with their crappy 3" x162x15 tracks or whatever bad luck you have had with their tracks. I'm a little pissed right now because after trying to fight with them, they say that it's not a delamination issue with my track, but in the mean time I have lost like 5 lugs already in 400 miles of mountain riding only, and the clincher tonight is I was just setting my tps on my pc which takes a split second of full throttle then just enter the value in the box. I'm sure most of you know what I mean. Well while the split second of full throttle it throws another lug off and sends it thru my garage window!!!!!!!! Wtf??? What if someone was behind the sled at that time?? This is bull**** and I want everyone to know that camoplast won't do **** for us and still say it's not one of the faulty tracks. I have ran many 3" tracks before but never had any of these freak things happen to me. I just think it's bull**** that no help would be offered in anyway to compensate a guy after spending 1500 for a track and it's garbage. Ok well my rant is over and maybe tracks canada can step up to the plate and maybe fight for us on this one. I have never asked or needed to warranty a track in my life, but trust me this one is crap!!! Thx d pics coming.

No one should be behind a sled while on a stand at WOT, and that would be up to you to make sure the safety of by standers not Camoplast. 5 missing lugs already? Seems like early season riding with a 3" spinning out on willows and rocks. Maybe I should go check mine lol

That sucks. No doubt they build some duds once in a while. I've got one with over 5000 miles on my old King Cat and it has been through a lot. Chewed over stumps, rocks, held it wide open down the trail for miles. Never overheated it though, on the original hyfax. Still mint.

track tension plays a big role in lugs going missing. I try to set mine with 3/4' drop between rail and track free standing. about 1" with approx. 10lbs on the track. I have found when running them loose, paddles started to go missing. Especially at high speeds. We ususaly limit trail speeds to 80-90km/hr. As well hardpack trail can really take them off as well

Doubtful, my track was bought used. With 6000km of my own mileage on it with 7tooth drivers and no missing lugs. I'd call bs on that.

I thought I there was a thread about this a few years ago. Maybe that is was the manufacture used as an excuse for a reason not to give warranty.

I had that happen on my 2.5 Camo extreme and received warranty after I replaced it. took an extra season and the shipping costs to get a new track. I had a good dealer help me as well get warrantee. I won't say anything on a previous dealer that was mentioned somewhere but good luck.

I put a 3 inch from day one on my 13 xm ( first gen 3") 5100 KM's and no missing paddles. I road that thing in every conditions and no paddles missing. Those tracks we're know for lugs missing and that's when they brought out the new 3". I don't know how you could be missing 5 paddles on that track. Revving it up on the stand I could see them pulling off though with 7 tooth drivers. But normal good riding conditions no, unless rocks or high speeds on trails hard snow/ice yes

Hmmm. Seems like a lot of tracks don't get warranty through Tracks Canada.
