850 174 Belt Drive Build

[Reddragon800]

Cooling isn't usually an issue. I switched to the OTTP Reversible scratchers. They kick up way more snow then the stock ones. I went out this past weekend and with the trail being rick solid in the morning, I had to stop 3 times to through some snow on the tunnel.

I think the cooling system has improved in the last few years. How did you feel it handled? I am trying to decide between building another 174 vs buying a 174 and adding a belt drive.

In my opinion its way better to buy the 163 belt drive and convert it to the 174. The handling is awesome. hardly can tell its a 174. Another awesome point is when you choose to upgrade again, you can put it back to stock and sell it faster as a 163 has better resale value than a 174.

How does that track work on the 850 ?

It works very well in powder, but sure sucks when the snow sets up. Next build will be a X3.2

What does it do in the setup snow?

Isn't a 3.2" even worse than the X3 in setup snow?

The X3 just just spins on hard snow doesn't dig in. The X3 has the saw tooth tip which helps on the hard packed.
