It seems that there is a lot of friction in my track and drive system.

I have replace the wheels and bearings.

The friction eases when I loosen the track, but I get a ratcheting problem if I loosen it from the present tension.

I get a ratcheting problem only when I am doing rainbows at full throttle.

The track makes a noise when I come back down on the road hard with the throttle on hard.

The lugs on the track and the drivers are not broken and I would like them to stay that way.

What do I check next?

Sounds to me like you need a dual drive setup, internal&external, involute&clog setup
or (whatever they are called ?)

Are you talking about anti-ratchet drivers like the bottom of the following link?

http://www.hartmaninc.com/tracks.html.

I look at the tracks on that page and wonder how to fit one in the 86 vmax tunnel.

Joe, Link does not work ? Anti ratchet sounds right but I'm not sure. There are drive clogs(?) that use the internal lugs and the track windows like older sleds.

If you click on the link, then click on the "tracks" button on the left side bar, it will show the page with the drivers on it.

I would say, this is your answer ?
