146 x 2.5 x 16 2.86 pitch in a Rev with 8 tooth drivers

[bikerjustin]

I wonder if there will be ample clearance to run this track without doing a drop and roll. I already did a drop and roll on my primary sled and just don't want to do it on my back up, but I do want a 2.5 track.
2.52" pitch (stock)
10 tooth = 8.021"
2.86" pitch
8 tooth = 7.283"
8.021 - 7.283 / 2 = 0.369"

stock track is 2" so clearance would only require an extra 0.131" (1/8) Seems like that should clear and shed snow just fine. Anyone Done this yet?

The 8 tooth 2.86 pitch driver is almost the same size size as the 9 tooth 2.52...so if the 2.25 track fits with the 9 tooth...it fits with the 8 tooth ...done many...real nice perk up to any 144 rev 600 or 800...I have a 146 if ya need one...BJ

Yeah after I did the math I looked at the driver diameter of the 9 tooth 2.52 and came to same conclusion you did. As much as I want to put that track on today, I think it may be a spring purchase. First I need to get the 770 for it built, oh yeah and let my wife ride it this winter.
And I am talking the 2.5 CE. Not the stock XP track, went down that road already with my 800, not doing that again.

you need 7 tooth 3" pitch to put a 2.5" in a rev...BJ

Problem with that is Camo isn't making a 3.0 pitch track in 144 or 146. Thats why I want to know if anyone has tried to put the 146 16 2.5 2.86 in. The math says it will work.

I want to know this too. I'm looking at putting a 155 camo exteme 2.86 under my sled too.

drivers

I purchased a 163 track and complete skid from BJ out of a 2008 XP and put it into my 06 REV chassis. I used 7 tooth Wahl Racing Drivers. There is no clearance issues but the track is very close. I dont think that 8 tooth drivers would work.
