Ok good to know, I just didn't want to the drop if I couldn't run the 3 in. Thanks!
I was thinking 162 x 15 x 3in with 3.0 pitch
Yea, I was planning on doing the drop its 5/8, so it still uses the factory chain case. I didn't want to spend 600 on the avid chain case.
Was it the Van Amburg drop? How difficult was it to install?
I had the holz drop. it just dropped it down 5/8 it will be tight in there if the 3 in fits. you might just want to pick up a 2.5 camo extreme. I am putting one on my turbo this summer
Yea I wasn't sure if it would fit. The drop template is on its way, im going to run 8t drivers and I mesure to see if there is room. Everyone that I talk to that is running the 3in can't stop saying how amazing it works, even guys that were running the 2.5.
3" track
A 3" paddle track is 3" pitch. Your limitation will be the length of your chaincase. The diameter of a 7 tooth 3" pitch driver is 6.7". The belt thickness plus the 3" paddle is about 3.25". The diameter of the jackshaft is 1". You will need at least 7.1" from the center of the driveshaft to the outside edge of the jackshaft to get everything to fit. I don't believe the center to center distance on a stock chaincase is more than 7.25". That is with you runing the jackshaft inside the tunnel. Jackshaft anywhere above the bulkhead is never going to work. The chaincase is too short.

Kind of an old post but do you know how much clearance the 2.4 track has with that combination (9t 2.52 drivers and a 5/8 drop)? I have a 01 Edge XC SP I'm setting up for hill drag racing and would like to run 2.125" chisels in it but would like to keep them at least 1/2" away from the front cooler.
10t drivers and 2.125" chisels would be even better but I don't think just a drop would give me enough room...
Also does the 5/8 drop use the stock Polaris 1080 belt or does it shorten up the C-C distance?
still uses 1080, i pulled the front cooler and installed a u-cooler... plenty of room for a 3" if you use 7tooth 3"pitch drivers. ive got a 16" wide 162 camo extreme and love it!
