While cleaning up my sled from the weekend I noticed that I have some track damage, from what I'm not sure but its ripped right through. Can this be fixed at all or is she a right off? Thanks

I am no expert, but this is my advice. I can't tell for sure from the pics, if this damage is near the middle of the track only, it should be fine to use. if this tear is through to the outside edge of the track I would definetly replace it.

toast, and keep the track, cut in 4 ft sections for storing your sled, this way the paddles don't get folded back from long storage.

Ok now that we've determined that she's fawkard what should I replace it with :confused: It was a 154" on an 08 Doo. Should I just put a new powdermax back on it.

Is that something that might be covered by warranty? Your sled is only a year old, a track should last longer than that.

Too bad Darcy, not much you can do now.

What type of riding do you mostly want to do:

Deep Soft Fluffy early season snow or Set Up Spring snow?

Put the 2.5 camo extreme on. Powderchowder put one on his 06 rev and it really works good.

There are Companies that repair tracks and warrenty them, I can`t remember any but do a google search. It was alot cheaper than replacing the track.
