155" track on an edge rmk rear skid, what do I need to do

[e46m3]

I know that the 155" track is a 2.86" pitch. Is there any way to run the 155" track on the edge rear suspension without installing extrovert drivers. i really dont want to cut my rails to clear the extrovert drivers. Sorry if there is other threads about this. I searched the forum for a little while with no luck. The rear skid is an edge rmk 144" skid from an 03 SKS with a big wheel kit and rail extension to 151". I have a mountain machines freedom axle that i could use with the rail extension to make 155" track work. Thanks for your help!

Might want to check on that pitch. My 07 5.0 155 off a 700 Dragon is 2.86 pitch I beleive. I think the same is true on the 08 5.1. Maybe the 09 or 10 155's are 3.0 but the earlier one aren't. I would give Avid a call and see what you need, for the 2 years I mentioned you wouldn't need extros as the 07 didn't use them and the 08 only had a single center extro. As long as you can get 2.86 on your shaft you should be able to do it. What pitch is the OEM stuff on the sled now?

Did you look at clearance in the tunnel to make sure no issues there? Good luck. EW

Sorry Eric. Your are right. I measured it and its a 2.86 pitch. The track on there now is a 151"x2" with a 2.52" pitch.

I bet Avid would have the standard drivers you need in 2.86. Might be worth a try. Good luck. EW
