camo xtreme rev?

[gender bender]

ive got an 07 rev and i want 2 put a 162 2.5 3.0 camo xtreme under it, just wondering if anyone knows if a 2.5 will fit and what size drivers do i use? thanks.

7 tooth avids. thats what ive been running. good combo. pretty sure you need a drop and roll for the 8 tooth drivers but someone might be able to comfirm that. i have roughly half inch clearance with the 7tooth 2.5

anyone seen the new camo extreme track that camoplast is bringin out. Seen it on SnoWest, looks like a revised lug design.

ya i saw that too. i knew about it for a few months but i didnt want to wait for it. i dont think that will make or break a sled. who knows

8 tooth wont fit nor do you have enuff power to pull them.

lol yes he does. stock drivers were 9 tooth with a 159x2.25

soo it would pull an 8 tooth with a gearing change NO problem

8 tooth are bigger. What gearing would you recommend? 19/49 perhaps?

 

[maxwell]

your right a 8 tooth 3 pitch would be bigger.

and yes a 20/49 or 47 would be a good start

Easy way to do it is get the 8th 2.86 drivers and order the 2.86 pitch camo extreme thats what i did on my 06 works great with 19/47 gears.

that would b the simplest however i already have a 3.0 camo off another sled not being used. but thanks anyway

Have install quite a few on the '07's and it will fit in with 8tooth 3.0 pitch drivers(it's fairly tight) the other thing that you will need is some 5.6" wheels to replace the rear upper wheels. We did alot of these swaps in 07 and on.

What kind of gearing did you run? Also being so tight would that have an effect on getting the snow out of your tunnel?

 

[maxwell]

it would be tight i measured not much mroe than a half inch with the 7 tooth and 2.5"

me and glengine have been having this discussion in the rev forums. He claims it fits and works good. I am guessing there could only be hundreds of an inch clearence.

There is more to this than you might think. Think about this. If you only have room to move your track will the snow cause a problem for you? Trust me any measurement taken is while the sled is motionless. What do you think happens under full acceleration? Your track balloons.

If anyone would know Glen would. You can also run the 8th 2.86 drivers with the 3 " pitch track. Before they made the camo extreeme in 2.86 pitch guys were running the 3" pitch with 2.86 drivers without any issues. and you will have lots of clearance. i have around 3/8 " at the cooler.

Ya well I can stick my head in between my 2.5 and my bulkhead.

I agree with you freak I don't think small fractions of an inch is a lot when the track starts moving. I think I would go the 7s myself, I think having the extra clearence to evacuate the snow would outweigh the efficiency of the bigger 8 tooth drive. Until Glen informed me that an extreme can be done with 8s I had never heard of anyone doing it. I thought it could only be done with 7s, I guess I learn something new everyday.

Even then there is more to it than running 8s. I run 200hp 130 ft lbs of torque and a 156x2.5x16 with 19/45 gearing. How would this stuff work with a 150hp 800?

I'm sure that's no problem, as it should be well-lubed from being freshly pulled from your azz.
