3 inch 162 Pro

I love to wheelie!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way easier to turn with the ski's in the air, but a little hairy on the steep when you have to back out er to stop it from coming over backwards. Sure is a blast in tree's though

Thinking of doing the same thing to my pro next year. can you just go to a one tooth smaller driver to get the track to fit so you dont have to do an avid chaincase too?

 

[Tyson.H]

you cant go with smaller drivers because if you look at the bottom of the chain case it protrudes into the tunnel. If you put smaller drivers on the track rubs through the chain case sooner or later. so the only way of putting a 3" is a chain case. I have a 174 3" with an avid chain case and couldn't be happier and chris at parkland motor-sports is awesome to deal with. Great mod for pros.

Dropping a tooth doesnt give enough clearance? you only need anouther half inch to make it fit a 2.5" lug barely has any clearance so whats the difference of running a smaller driver and having just a half inch more insead of an inch like the avid chaincase gives. I do alot of jumping and i dont like the idea of the chaincase being below the bulkhead that much.

Redlineryan, Tyson is not saying that a 7 tooth smaller driver will not be enough room for the 3 inch. He is saying that you can't go this way with the Polaris as the chain case sticks out on the inside of the tunnel to far and that portion is just smaller than the 8 tooth stock drivers.
So with smaller drivers the track will rub on the portion of the chain case that is used to cool the the oil for the case. I think that is why Polaris built it that way but not 100% sure.

Thanks for clearing that up! i didnt notice that when i swapped tracks last year. well that kinda sucks though.

Glad thats all cleared up.

With about a 60 pound less rider ( on the polaris ) it destroyed it ( the doo ) on a climb. We should have put the same rider on it when we tried. It was very close to a turbo pro with the same rider which i was impressed with. He was running 8-10 lbs boost.

That turbo pro must of had a stock track on it getting 85mph track speed, or it wasn not running right.
I rode a buddies turbo pro with a 174 3",on 8 lbs of boost and was getting 66MPH track speed with it in 3ft of heavy pow. but than again i'm only 175lbs soaking wet, but still getting back on my etec with a 3" was like getting on a Mini Z after riding that thing, there was no comparison.

sounds right, my turbo etec running 7lbs does around 70mph track speed with the 16 wide 163 3 inch, feels sweet

Is that corrected MPH for the small drivers as this sounds alittle high. Big 300+ hp four strokes hittings these numbers.

Big strokers are hitting 90+

 

[High Velocity]

Big strokers are hitting 90+

You bet they are ! My buddy's Apex was pushing around 320 hp and would easily hit 95-100 mph track speed the day I rode it. Absolutely f'in insane. Felt like my arms were getting ripped out of my shoulders hanging onto it.

hi i am looking at doing this same track setup. did you have to change rails or was there enough room in the adjusters to fit the smaller 162 track. i am not doing the extended chain case from avid. i am trimming my chain case back to fit avid 7tooth drivers i know this clears the new 9220m 162x15x3 camo extreme. i am just not sure if the stock rails will fit the 162 track. thank you in advance for any info

 

[High Velocity]

danby, I just finished putting a 162x3x15 in my 163 Pro. I did the chaincase mod and 7T drivers. The smaller drivers make up for the 1" shorter track. Don't forget to cut back your rails and install an anti-stab kit. Worked out perfect. No mods required on the rails. First ride tomorrow. I'll post my thoughts when we get back Sat. or Sun.

that is great to hear cant wait to hear how it goes against the stock 5.1 . thanks for the info looks like i need to hurry up and order my 9220m

 

[turboassault]

I did have to go with ice age 162 rails for mine. I installed the track with stock rails and it did not fit. Thats not saying that it wont fit with 7 tooth drivers. That is something i do not know. Oh and back to the turbo pro it was a stock 163 track on it and there was very little difference between the two with the same rider on the same hill within 5 minutes of each other. They both shot the top and did so at good speed.

 

[High Velocity]

Well, I managed to get about 5 hours of riding with the 3" track and a couple feet of powder today and I am impressed. It definitely pulled me through some nasty spots in the trees where I'm sure I would have been stuck with the stock track. My day was cut short when my primary clutch broke in half.

Broke in half??????? WTF?

 

[flying frenchman]

Isn't a Pro always broken. You have to let go the throttle once in a while, let them clutches cool. LOL

 

[High Velocity]

Broke in half??????? WTF?

Not to derail this thread Ken, but yup !
