Powerclaw on polaris drivers

[roni87]

I installed a powerclaw 2.6 on my pro. I didn't like running 7 tooth drivers so this time I tried it right on the stock Polaris 8 tooth drivers. I pressed the center driver off though.

I ran it around the yard for a few minutes. No vibration or ratchet. Rolls smooth. Forward and reverse.

Will update later this month when I make it out for a trip.

Looking forward to results. 2.86 drivers on 3 pitch track. Seen another thread of guys doing this with no issues.

Have you had any time on this setup now? Thinking of trying powerclaw on my 2012 rmk with Avid 2.86 drivers.

Haven't put any time on it. Only about 5 min in the yard. If you have 8 tooth avids it might be tough installing.
Will be in Montana or wyoming in a couple weeks and give it a good test.

This has been tried and DOES NOT WORK!

does the powerclaw work better?

How did this turn out ? Inquiring minds want to know

Worked for a couple days, but then the ratchet took over. Was running it super right too.

I now have 7t axys 3.0 drivers pressed on my stock assault shaft. Did not install the center driver. I also swapped the 2.6 back to my proclimb and took the powerclaw 3" from there onto the Polaris.
I really liked the 2.6 claw for the sidehill traction in spring snow.

Didn't prefer the 3" on the proclimb in the spring time so I figured id try it out on the Polaris, but haven't had it west yet. Just around home for a few miles.
I picked up a used 156x2.5 ce 3.0p track that I'm going to put on for Midwest/ spring mountain riding as it has the older sawtooth lugs.

just run the drivers that match the track and you will never have to hope things work out

Especially when the powerclaw has less rubber nubs than most tracks.

for the 2.86 drivers to work the track has to slip or it will have to climb over a set of teeth eventually.

I prefer the PC 3" over the PC 2.6" on my 11 pro in every aspect. The 3" will dig fast though so you need control the track speed/clutch engagement a little differently imo.

The 3" tracks do work on 7tooth 2.86 axys drivers though.


They all drive off the same nubs unless it's a skidoo

As stated above... the driver will need to slip, or climb over a nub eventually...

Sure they will drive the track... but in the end, not correct, and can do some damage to parts.
