Powder freaks center drive on 2.75” tracks

[shagsmc]

Anyone try the powder freaks center drive unit on their 3.5” pitch tracks?

I do t have any issue with ratcheting but the damn vibrations are driving me nuts.

I really don’t want to hack up my trails either .... I was told the powder freaks center drive makes better contact with the track drive windows and therefore smoother and does not require as much tension

Any first hand reports of this driver ?

Thanks.

I have the powder freaks center drive on my 2.86 track and I also have lots of vibration, but I also put the 2.5 PEAK track on it and I just figured the vibration came from that.

I tried putting ice age 8” hellfire wheels in when the 2.75 was new and they wouldn’t fit. I know this track stretches a lot, but 8” wheels were too big when it was new. I went with the offset axle.

Trimming rails is very easy. I’ve ran ice age, wahl bros, and mtntek anti stabs. Mtntek is the strongest. I wouldn’t even consider wahl bros again. And there was no extra trimming involved with mtntek. Just cut rails to clear the extroverts and increase hole size for anti stab bolt.

I know getting 9" wheels in there will be tight and I discussed with Tom at TKI. He told me that on the 163's, Polaris used 2 different rail lengths for the series 6 and series 7 tracks. With the 165 they did not change the length. He went on to say that if you wait until the tracks stretches to a point that you have 50% of the adjustment slot available, they will fit. I will try and let other know as soon as my wheels arrive next week.

How do you offset the axle to keep the wheel flush with the hi fax?

Here is my 2019 174. The axle lifts the wheel 1" and 1" forward to make the bottom of the wheel at the same height as the hyfax. This is the patented TKI 1" offset axle.

The 8” would not fit with my 155 stock rails when the track was new. ?‍

No trimming on the inside of these rails or anti stab.

is this an ice age rail set-up?

Anyone have any updates on how the powder freaks centre drive for the series 8 track work for them, trying to get some feedback before spending 500$
