What is the good camoplast track for an 07 rev 159 x-rs, I cant ever remember which one doesn't trench out. thanks
07 track
- Thread starter haleyeah13
- Start date
The challenger lite is the one that trenches bad. It sure hooks up in hard snow though. Even after I cut the paddle ribs down it still trenched, not as bad as before but it still sucked. Plus it was so stiff it tore pretty easily. Get the regular challenger instead.
Good luck
Joe
(edit: your xrs stock track is the camo lite)

the powder max or the challenger the challenger lite is the bad track
I did hear about cutting the ribs on the lugs, and that it is suppose to be better, but i have never heard anyone say anything great about doing it. thanks for the info I couldnt remember if mine was the lite or not, must be though cause I can dig like none other, haha. thanks
Here is what I did to mine. It helped in the softer stuff a little bit, but hurt the performance on the hard snow. It made the lugs fold over too easily...
As you can see, every single lug on the entire track had a tear or chunk ripped out of it.
Go with the challenger, you wont regret it!

so is it even worth the time to cut the ribs a bit, I cant really afford a new track right now but just wondering if it helps enough to tell the difference, and if it is going to destroy my track faster, since i am not sure when i will be able to get a new one. thanks for all the input.

It helps a bit. I think if I had to do it over, I would only remove about half of the rib near the top, so It still has a little bit of stability. One guy on the forums even v-notched the top of the paddle like the regular challengers have. He said it helped too.
Ran with a guy last spring up in Whittier who has the same sled, he had cut the ribs completely off, all of them
. And said that since then he hadn't broken a single lug, sled was performing well. I myself swapped it out for a Challenger Extreme, your options in the 159 are limited, what a difference.
And yes Joe, I do ride......................................when I'm not PostWhorin

i will forsure tell you how it worked out the guy who told me to do this did it to his track and he said it turns the track into a floater instead of a trencher kinda makes it a finger trackCool! Let us know how that works out, still have the C-lite kickin around
that's what I was thinking also, if it works out I may keep the ol track around............thanks

thanks born2sled that might be what i have to do. I think that would be better than cutting the support rib completly off. I will have to try it for this year, who nows maybe it will make it a new sled.

i used a utility knife to do what i did make sure you cut down a good inch maybe a little bit over cause the person who did this and suggested i do this to my track said you dont wanna cut down to little or it will not work properly
1500 miles and about half my paddles looked like that on their own before I changed it out this summer
I HAVE 07 X THAT HAD THE " CHALLENGER LITE" SWAPPED IN 163 POWDER MAX-NOW GIVE THE XP'S A RUN FOR THE MONEY! MUCH-MUCH BETTER IN DEEPER SNOW-WET OR POWER.
I just notched my track and it helped, and I taven't tore any luges. I left the thickness and just notched down about a half a inch in one spot on each padle.
