I want to upgrade the ole m7 farm sled's track from the attack 20 to a 2.6" power claw.

Do I need different driver's or is that a direct replacement?

Any tips on how to do it?

Should bolt in no problem drivers are the same. If you pull the DD there are bolts under the rubber piece that need to be removed to get the DD out. You also need a long extension to get the bolt that holds the drive shaft to the DD. The bolt comes out from the brake side. If you remove the brake you can leave the drive shaft in place and not have to remove the nut. Then wiggle the track out and in.

Only question I would have is how much does that 2.6 weigh compared to a 2.5 camo? I had one with the camo that worked really well but adding a heavier track than that would start to have an impact I think.

Yeah I agree, fairly low elevation where I am at. And it's just to ride to the bar and back.

Went from the cat challenger track to the 2.5 camo on my wife’s 163 m7. It pulled it no problems. That sled would climb like a mountain goat with that track. I upset a lot of modded sleds with that stock sled

Flip that attack 20 around and run it backwards! Hooks up like crazy!

The 2.6 I put on my M sled was the best upgrade I made. If someone told me that .35 of an inch would make that much difference I never would have believed it. The A20 flipped has good hook up and equally as bad braking.
