has anyone experienced the track pulling over hard by hand. When I set the track tension, I just pull the track by hand to get to a different part of the track, and then re-check. I've always done this in the past with all my poo sleds, but when I try to move the track by hand on my RUSH, the drive sprocket seems to be riding up somewhat on the track lugs, like there is a pitch difference. I've heard a rumor that here is a TB from Polaris dealing with this issue. Haven't even gotten it out of the garage yet. Time to call the dealer and see what is going on.

RUSH Track
I heard throught the grapevine that the Camoplast tracks that were put on the RUSH had some nubs from the molding of the track that catch on the drivers when the track is warm and on a stand. like in a garage or dealer shop. The dealers were suppose to take a look at the track during setup. Problem went away when sled was in snow and track had lube from the snow, and then finally went away when you got a couple of miles on the track.
Hope that helps, go ride the thing and let use know how you like it,

Man I would give my left arm for a Rush I cant wait to hear how they are after this winter. Maybe in a few years when Polaris has them perfected I will by one. But I am very glad to hear that people are buying them. Ride the crap out of it and let us know how it performs.
I called the dealer & he said basically what ot8low said. I looked at the track and could see some excess track mold on the edges of the track lugs(in effect shortening the space between the lugs. Rode 120 miles yesterday, did not notice any effects from this at all. In time they will wear off even with the lug. I expected snow build up in the area of the rear shock--none, very little build up in the suspension. All trail riding in loose snow. Really a nice, super resonsive sled to drive. I have the tall w/s, works good. Towards the end of the ride I started paying attention to the handling, will need a little more ski pressure, but will wait for one more ride before I start adjusting.
The drive lugs that are causing the problem are located at the molding seams on the track. There are two sets of lugs that are affected, 180 deg apart. Use a angle grinder (variable speed) with a sanding flap wheel. and very lightly remove the excess mold. Or, in time the lug should wear the excess molding off.
