3" lug Camo extreme.

[thewayout]

Would like to make room & try a 3" lug track but they are only avalible in 16" wide which doesn't fit my chassie. Talked to Tracks USA about getting something in 15" & he says not much of a demand. Asked about getting 16" cut down but sounds like it would have to be done in the back yard. Has anyone tried to cut down a track?

cutting track

I have heard of people cutting tracks down on a table saw.

 

[polarblu]

there was a post about a guy that cut 2 174" tracks down and made a twin track sled out of it with 10" wide strips. it was a custom chassis with rev plastics i think.

twintacktundra i want to say is his name, but you just buy a good blade for the table saw and go slow!

 

[kennyblatz]

mines cut down seems to be holding up fine i saw a post somewhere a company was cutting them with a waterjet. the guy who built the tundra used a skill saw if i remember correctly froms pictures

 

[Wheel House Motorsports]

water jet would be sweet, and leave a clean cut! just a tad more pricey.

I've cut a few tracks. Large tablesaw, saw horse on either side of the blade, pipe across the top. Two guys, one feeding, one rolling it back up onto the pipe. Take your time and it works awesome. Worked the best with the track between the blade and the rip fence with scrap having lots of room. Didn't work the other way as well. I will say however, I saw a brand new 3" track blow off 5 lugs in 10 minutes. Turbo 4-stroke, but still...

are you saying that the 3 inch camo is not as strong as the 2.5 camo? the 2.5 camo is strongest track available...i doubt the 3 is that much diffrent in terms of it durability

Can you fit a 3" under your Nytro? I thought I had heard somewhere that the chaincase was part of the bulkhead and there was no way to extend/roll the chaincase.

yes you can move the heat exchanger forward the 1/2 inch and re-mount it (more work then it sounds) or toss it in the trash and get a rear mounted exchanger...thats look like the route ill be going

xring60 talk to Kelly he knows what you need to do. Think he said he was going 3" next year.
