      As you can see in this crappy picture,on the older style track the 2 front ears still bent inward. It is also possible that the entire width of either style is curved inward.

      Here is the newer and older styles, the older style obviously bent inward.

      My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
      Joe Camel never does that.

        it looks from the pictures jim posted, that the problem with the tracks slapping is that they are riding up on the tires ? j.b.

          Thanks for your input guys. Based on the pictures, it looks like I have he new style. They are thicker. We lowered the pressures back down to normal, tried it again last night. We did discover that once you get going faster than what we were trying, they stop slapping..... Is it possible the new style could ride up the tire too.

            it may be that at the higher speed as you mentioned, the tracks tend to stay tighter due to the constant pull on them. i've had tracks that slapped from time to time. also noticed more slap at low speed, especially slowing down. i think as you slow down the slack tends to be on the top track. try going uphill. that's when the pull on the tracks i believe are the tightest on the top. just a few thoughts to help. j.b.

              Thanks for the info!!! Would you guys recommend taking out another piece of track? It says to use 28 full segment and 1 half, and I removed 1 full segment. Thinking of removing the half segment, but that's going to be 1 and a half segments less then we started with. Hopefully I can get it together again.

                Did you measure around each of your tires and put the smallest one in the front and biggest one in the back. You might have the big one in the middle.

                  I am running the runamuck tire 22x10x8 and I use 28 full track links without issue.

                    I also used the 22x10-8 runamucks with plastic tracks on my 96 Vanguard and had no rubbing anywhere. Have you checked to see if maybe there's a bent axle causing this?
