Anyone care to chime in about how a 3" Powerclaw stacks up in the hierarchy? I know they were well liked a few years ago and I just bought a used 9R with one.
New track
- Thread starter fuzz48
- Start date
I removed my 155 - 300LX last year and tried a 165 composit for awhile.
Going back to a 155 - 325 after riding a few 2024's with it last season. (Paid $1545 OTD for it locally)
In my experience More of an all around track vs the 300Lx.
(300LX was a wheelie trencher)
325 is more of a climb on top and gain speed.
3" PC is very similar to a 300LX in my experience.
Have you compared the 325 or 300lx to the 15” ski doo track?
Not on the same sleds.
The skidoo track was on a doo but still seemed to trench less than the 300 lx.
Where do you ride? Dry powder, wet coastal, sugar snow?
Half dry powder- half coastal.
The 300lx is better in the coastal. But in the dry or sugar it's a digger.
That’s been my experience as well. For me the 3.25 is a better all around track just wasn’t enough better to me to spend the extra money
Cost is my issue as well. Polaris wants $2700 Canadian peso’s for the 325 and I can get a 300lx for $1400 with exchange
Yeah $400 difference for me.
The 300LX was splitting lugs after 1 year also.

The 3” PC is a great track. If it’s already on the sled, I’d keep it.
You end up porting your track?
Probably will but I'm not sure what size, number and pattern yet.
I was considering the freeride track for my 155 since it's ported. The 300LX gets around really well but it does hold onto snow more. I might get another and port it this time to save money since it's about $500 cheaper than the freeride. What are you going to use to port it? I was considering a 1/2" hole saw, doing 2 holes in line then using a razor to turn them into an elongated window between each rod.
I have a Powerclaw on my boost. It seems like a really good track overall. Downside is weight. It’s heavy.
It provides a quite a bit of front end lift, but also gets up on the snow and goes relatively quick. Seem like a good all around track.
Rode a 300LX last year in snow with no solid base underneath- pow on sugar, and it really struggled with getting moving in those conditions vs 275, 325, and Powerclaw
So if you were to exclude the price difference what is preferred over all for my 22 boost 155? Oem 3.25 or the 300lx for Washington state. Mostly Snoqualmie area?
I was thinking about doing the same thing. Maybe just two rows of ports instead of three, but slightly wider than the skidoo track ports. Thought about hole saw then sharp chisel or razor. I'm not sure how hard or easy the track will cut.
Tracks cut easier than you think. I center ported my X3 165” by hand with an olfa knife.
Did you just cut squares? Got any pics?
