3" paddle on pros
- Thread starter SLDHVN
- Start date
the 2.5 -15-174 will fit perfect, the 3" will not fit stock, you have do do 2 things 1) Avid chaincase 2) cut track on tablesaw as there is no 15 wide 3" track made only a 16 wide that will not fit. Its a good mod tho..
ah crap, forgot the 3 inch was only in 16" wide. the reason i ask is because my pro 155" is amazing in all stock form w/ stock track.
being me, i cant just leave my sled alone, i always feel the need to get more out of it. I want to keep my warranty so i was just wondering about tracks etc.
i would consider a...
155 camo extreme
163 camo extreme
Im not sure what to do yet, i think avids extended chaincase and new extovert drivers would make this sled even more unstoppable
The question I wonder about is if the extended chain case changes the angle in a way that it does not get up on the snow as well??
so you got avids new extended chaincase? how has this affected your ability to get up on the snow instead of trenching through it?

Dropping the drive shaft lowers the AA , if anything that should improve getting on top of the snow.

trenching is that assault track you have its made for more setup snow, dont matter what polaris track you run there all horrible trenchers ask zane what it did for my sled switching to CE. Me and hooch would be neck and neck on a hill "stock sleds" at that time he had a 153 i had a 163 i put the 174 on and it wasnt even close where hooch would get stuck i could go up and help him get unstuck then turn up and keep going. if your stuck on keeping it a 155 get a 155 CE for the deep then switch back to the stock assault track for spring as that track hooks up hard on spring snow
i have an rmk not assault
and i didnt ask if it trenched more because I wanted to know, i asked about how it got up on the snow in comparison to stock because it was brought up earlier by "800poodragon" and is a valid point
obviously robbie built the ext chaincase to gain clearance for 3" paddles or whatever

A guy up here in Jackson Hole bolted together two tracks with a combined 189" of length on his pro. He did it right, not sure on miles hes got on it but the sled is unstopable. havnt heard of any issues and hes been ridding it every weekend for the past 3 months. pretty impressive to see that sled climb a hill.
Ski, Yes it is an Avid ext. case, install is very simple, I would say about five hours total time from skid out to running again. I ride with two other Pro's, one assault and the other an RMK, and there is no diff. in handling at all. We also think mine gets up on the snow a little faster also.
I was concerend about having too much ski pressure with the skid back an inch but I think it feels perfect, the other assault was getting too much ski lift stock so he moved the front skid mount up to help, which it did. It's spendy mod for sure and these Pro's run fantastic stock but I sure like all the tunnel clearance.

Actually we partenered with Robbie this summer while building our Pro chassis show sled to help develop the(Avid) Pro extended case. So that is what we sell for the Pro chassis-I've got them (Pro cases)in stock if anyones interested.
And yes, the Pro extended case kit is WAY faster to install than our IQ D&R!
Our IQ drop and roll is the only one that requires moving both shafts.
Also, if you haven't already seen them, Avid has a pretty slick tunnel extension for the Pros--Robbie just sent me one for our Pro 174 project and me likey!
