Question about track drone

[nytrose]

can anyone enlighten me on the constant 'drone' that this sled makes coming from the suspension at cruising speeds and on hard pack or powder doesnt make a difference.just curious i dont want to wear ear plugs cause i love the exhaust lol

I noticed the same thing. I feel it as well as hear it.

I'm wondering if its because the track is not fully clipped.

It's a well known issue with Vectors. It drives me crazy but seems to come a go depending on the trail, snow cover and especially rate of speed. My Vector has an M-10 with a fully clipped 1.5" paddle track and it still has the track howl.

My Nytro doesn't seem to have it as bad.

I was out today for a little while, and I only really notice it at slower speeds.

phazers also do this, it seems to be something with the fx chassis somehow crossed with skid position and a odd track choice.

I had the wife out riding with me saturday night. So speeds never reach over 30 mph with her riding. I noticed the drone too, but that because the engine is quieter then the 2 stroke so it's more noticeable.

You hear all kinds of noise from these sleds because the engines are so quiet. I have a Nytro SE with 300 miles on it. the more I ride it the more I hear different things. like the drive chain, clutch and the track. A 2 stroke motor makes so much noise (machanical and exhaust.) you don't normally hear these things.
