hey guys my 2015 pro x switchback 137 track is adjusted right to the max.
I thought of takeing the spacer behind jam but out but the axle is at the end in the rail.
it's at perfect tension now but seems like it needs adjustments with every 500 miles I put on I'm at 4200 now
my question is if i go to a bigger rear wheel will it stretch the track some more?.. do i have to change them all?

any other tips or tricks?

Too much track stretch is not good, are you studded?
 
It might be stretched so much that the track lugs are out of sync with the drivers.

I have never seen one stretch that bad unless it was studded but I guess its possible.
 
hey guys so I compared mine side by side the a friends sled or I would have never noticed my rails are bent up in the back end causing a shorter loop for the track. I'm positive that's why

350$ a rail seems ridiculously priced anyone know aftermarket ones?

WOW, that sucks but will defiantly do it. Sounds like you must have had a rough tail landing.
