This is not a huge issue but it is one I would like to know why it is doing it in the first place.
Now I am running for now a 121 1.25 Challanger track on my VMax, I have put on 500 k this year and most of the time in powder.
Now the track on one side seems to me that is is being eaten through from the rear wheel, but it could be any of them TBH. The front is not moving back and forth, the upper are the same, the lower two are the same, the rear moves if you really tug at it, more of a bending, so this may be normal? But you follow my track all the way around and right where the wheels roll it is fraying the surface rubber off the track and in spots it has caused tears, the inside wheels and track have no wear marks, the other side in perfect shape.
Now reason I would like to know what is going on is I am going to be making this skid into a 136 with the extensions, but I do not want my new track to turn into this track.
Any ideas or ????
Thanks
Also the skid is set up for as much height as I am in powder. Nothing on the skid is broken either anymore, only thing that did break was the front shock mount bolts, W arm is fine and not bent.

If you can push the wheels side to side then the bearing is toast.This could wear away at the track.When you do finally 136 the skid go thru all the bearings in the wheels. Follow BETHEVIPER's post on tightening and setting up the suspension. I go thru all my skid bearing before each season. I pop off the grease seal on each bearing and inspect them. If they are dry and rusty out they go.If not I repack with new synthetic grease and keep on rolling.
