how many people out there are doin a 3 inch setup on their pro's? Pros and cons? opions? lets hear it all!
3 inch track... Whos doin one?
- Thread starter McFarckle
- Start date
I'm doing one on my 2013 800 RMK with Chain Drive.
156"
Running Robbies 7 tooth drivers and the FTX Chaincase Mod.
Pros: Amazing traction in deep snow... climbing and braking.
Cons: Cant go ripping down the trail a warp speed after a long day.
Run the track to factory tension specs and you wont have issues.
Carls Cycles will have the exclusive first run on these tracks that will be "punched center" and 15" wide X3's.

I will be running one. Already on back order list 
call Carls Cycle Parts Dept 208-853-5550 they will get you taken care of!
Whats the point of the center punched version when running anti-ratchet 7 tooths?
Shane,
With the center ported track and the non extro drivers like robbie made....You don't have to cut the rail tips off nor run anti-stab kit.
More of a bolt on deal.
The UN-center-punched X3 tracks will be avail in 156"x15" , 162"x15" and 174 x 15" wide.
All are 3" pitch and all require that either 7 tooth drivers be run or a Drop/roll Chaincase/belt drive like the, Ice Age, AVID, CMX or C3.

Nice, thanks for the reply! Was trying to figure out which way would be the most economical etc. Any pricing on these tracks yet?
163 is like 1350 and 156 is like 1300 and drivers are around 260 I believe
IMO...this track will be one of the best "bang-for-the-buck upgrades in the last decade for deep snow.
IMO "The juice will be worth the squeeze"

So it sounds like it will be about a break even deal over ordering a track trimmed to 15" or staying with center punched.
Don't forget the CMX belt drive system it's a drop and roll so you can run an 8 tooth driver, that's what I will be doing
I'll be running a couple of X3's this year, likely one of each length, but I am doing some chassis mods to my PRO's as well as drive mods to allow me to run 9 Tooth drivers and still have ample clearance for the X3 plus snow / air evacuation. Gear ratios as low as 3:1.
I for one, refuse to run the stupidly small 7 Tooth driver.

Picked up an X3 / 163 a couple months back when Track USA had them on sale. Got the 9220 for under a 1000.00 shipped to the house. Only thing left to order up is the 7 tooth drivers. Needless stay I cannot wait until the 14 comes and the snow is flying!!!!
