159 to long?

[vipermountain700]

Hey guys ive got a chance to buy a 159 track and the extensions for my viper.
Is a 159 to long for a 700 to turn? Is anybody else running a 159?
Thanks.

You should have plenty of power for a 159", but I would gear down 1 -2 teeth for best results. Also make sure the pitch is compatible with your drivers, or get aftermarket extro's that match the track pitch.

It will have the power. Gearing down will help alot.

I have a 20 tooth top gear that I had on my Mountain Max when I went from a 141 to a 151. If you are interested in buying it PM me

If you do the anti ratchet drivers (highly recomend) I have a diagram with measurements that show correct placement for the driver on the shaft.

I ran a 159" on my Mtn Max for years. Plenty of power with the correct gearing/clutching.

It will turn a 159" with no problem. Definitely gear it down and go with extros. The new track is a great excuse to pipe it too.

Hey post a pic if you get it done I would like to see that. I may have extend mine since it seems to work really well. Thanks Jeff

159=excellent choice

i run a stockish 700 viper with a 159" challenger lite. gearing is 18/42 with clutching and it works very well. the key to the setup is the 42/43 bottom gear and run whichever top gear works for your application. the 159 makes a huge difference in flotation and deep snow ability. you will not be disapointed.
