3" Power Claw on Axys

I've had my setup out a few times now. Everything seems fine but I got on some sustained packed snow for the first time yesterday. I've got some track vibration/hum going on that seems a little much. Nothing violent or anything but definitely a little more than I would expect. Only on hard snow and around 35-40mph. I'm wondering if it's the harder angles of the avid drivers causing this.

I suppose it could also be the windows still wearing the tip of the hyfax in.

Ring a bell with any of you other guys with the avids and cut rails?

The Alpha track is much worse than the gen 3 powerclaw.
Not that it helps u in ur question.

I've noticed mine vibrates more then the stock Polaris track did, but figure its due to the larger lug width. But, I'm still running the stock Polaris drivers.
I'll take the trail vibes and let her chew in the deep stuff !

Ya it's nothing to worry about- I have a full K-Mod with the 3" P/C and avid drivers.
No need to cut the Ice ace rails- but the vibration is more noticeable than the 2.6 even when I ran 8 tooth drivers with the 2.6.
More noticeable in the foot well area- but that's just on the groomed trail headed to the POW so- nothing to be concerned about.. and I have been way over 40mph

Same thing running a camo extreme with avids and cut/anti stab/iceage rails. basically same combo you have besides track brand. Coasting/light throttle down the road i noticed it kinda gentle vibration through the whole sled. It freaked me out the first day out, but inspected everything and its all good. Harder drivers driving on clips as well as the way avid profiles their drivers makes better engagement into the track but can vibrate a little more then say like a doo/cat factory extro.
 
I have the PC on my 850 with avids and stock rails with the tips cut and anti stab from Avid. How loose are you guys running your tracks? I’m getting vibrations as well but everything looks good underneath. Thanks

What are guys running for track tension on 162 powerclaw on 163 axys? 7 tooth Avids.

Tightened to polaris spec I’m rubbing on the top of the rear shock eye.
Loosened up a bit , gained 1/4”
 
It's definitely a lot of money and hassle for the 155/153 conversion.

But at 2,000 miles you'll still have a track (and likely rails) in one piece that work really well.

If you're running a 163 track you can pull the center driver off and just change the track. Then if that's not working buy the drivers. I know some guys don't get to that point.
 
I just had it up on a lift yesterday. I didn't measure but I think it's about an inch and a half.

If I'm honest, my real metric is being able to push it off the back of my flatbed and have it roll somewhat easily. "polaris tension" doesn't allow that.
