Possible? 151 skid 153 power claw track?

[01ZRTCAT]

Hey All thinking of building a new sled and want a Power Claw track, So thinking maybe I could fit a set of 151 rails in my Mtn with 9" rear wheels to take up the rest? Possible or should I go with 153 rails? Thanks

I am runnning a 156 on my 04 with 153 rails. The rails are mounted the same distance from the drivers that the 159 rails were to keep all the angles right. if I can take up 3 inches I'm sure you could take up 2.

yes.


No problem, and you don't need the 9" wheels.

what about a 151 suspension set up in 153 rails?

The issue I'd see with that would be mounting points.

If you look, they're pretty different. Dimensionally they may not LOOK hugely off, but a difference of an inch in a rear suspension mounting point can be huge.

so 151 rails and 153 track...... good to know, was looking at iceage rails but only in 153.... no 151

If you buy the older style M rails you can cut the factory mounting point off and bolt the 1M arm in exactly the same spot as it was with your stock suspension. Here is a picture of what I mean.
