[mikecbi]

Just wondering if anybody has had a 3"track installed on there new sled yet,and what does it all require?also trying to get an idea of what it would cost to get it done or is it easier to do yourself?

Depending on where u ride a 3" track is not the answer for powder. I ride revy lots and have seen sleds with 3 " tracks in pow suck. To big a paddle and im not sure they work any better. Save your money. IMO There's alot of shops making big bucks on drop and roll and 3" tracks seems to be a city thing. Never seen a bc local run one Like everyone buying 32" silverback tires for quads last year They are useless and don't work. To aggressive in the mud and your always stuck. That's why theres a ton for sale new used

I think the 3'' works real well I ahve rode with some 3'' xp's in revy and golden and they seem to work quite well I have been interested in one myself for next year I think you need to get some different drivers and the track and i'm pretty sure you are all set I may be wrong but I think drivers are usually in that $300 range then the track

08 XP with the stock chain case and Avid drivers ( 7T ) and 3" track
also ride with Sleded ( 2010 ) and Leedoo ( 2011 E-tec ) both same setup.

they ROCK. we ride in the trees alot and climb as well. No better bang for the buck IMO. $1050 for the track, $350 for drivers and $ 100 bucks at a local shop to press the new drivers on. do the swap yourself if you are even mildly mechanically inclined.

not sure where or what, but we put one on a stock 08 summit x. Works great, no problems at all. Didnt even have to clutch diffrently. Just get avid 7 tooths drivers and a 3" track, away you go.

Seen a 174 3" on a stock etec last weekend, impressed our whole group. Thing just kept pulling :d

Im not sure where drew562 is gettin his info from. I have a 3 inch track on my 09 xp just new this year and it is awesome. I ride revy all year long and this track made a huge difference. I've also seen turbo yamy's stuck in the deep pow, does that mean you shouldnt by one? These upgrades also come with experience, if you are new to riding its not going to make a difference.

My buddy put a 3" 154 on his 09 XP non-ported and he won't shut up about it. Says its the world of difference, I'm still getting used to my machine.

 

[mikecbi]

so i take i there is no reason to drop and roll or any other mod than this to be able to run the 3" track,just to change drivers?

 

[milton]

I had to drop the chaincase on my 09. Not sure about the etec. Check with racers edge.

 

[Depsnolvr]

I assumed you had to go with the drop and roll as well, which makes things very expensive.

with the success ive seen with the camo 2.5, that would be the way I would go.

no you do not need to drop and roll OR get a extended chain case. Just get the avid 7 tooths drivers and a 3" track and you are good to go. with the 7 tooth driver route you will have to shave a couple rivets down a little but it works good.

They don't make a 3'' in the 154 unless it just came out.

the 3" is night and day difference from a 2.5, absolutely no comparison, have not found 1 cond where the 3" is a hinderance, but i dont trail ride also.

was it for a doo...just wondering if it 16" wide

 

[maxwell]

pretty sure there is no 154 3" there was talk of one but not sure if it ever came about.

for you guys running the drop and roll or the extended chaincase does your sled go 4000$ higher?

 

[Foxstar45]

For guys running a stock motor with this track, what did you do to the clutches if anything?
