6 tooth 3.5" is the same size as 7 tooth 3".

Will be making them for the belt drive shaft and the chaincase shaft. Both clip drive and center drive.

Robbie, what is the lighter driver type? The clip drive or center drive type?
Advantages and disadvantages of each type?
Thanks

The center drive drivers might be a few ounces lighter.
Center drive: You don't have to cut the rails. The weak point is that when the track starts to slip you only have one anti-ratchet point to catch the track. This point is pushing on the raw edge of the center hole in the track. This causes damage on some people's track.
Clip drive: You have to cut the rails. Since there are a set of anti-ratchet points in each row of track clip holes, the forces of any slippage is divided by two. Also, the two anti-ratchet rows are pushing on steel track clips. The drivers will wear out before the track.
I've sold a lot of both types. It depends on how you ride.

156. I have a 153 3" powerclaw under mine. It looks a bit short
Robbie have you ridden any of the newer 3.5" pitch tracks? Do you have any concern on only having 6 teeth on your drivers and running boost?
I haven't ridden this track. You are correct. A track doesn't wrap around a set of drivers 180 degrees. About 120-150 degrees depending on your approach angle. A 7 tooth driver will use 3-4 teeth at a time and the 6 tooth will use 2-3. I have made the anti-ratchet points longer on the 3.5" pitch as compared to the 3" pitch.
You might have to tighten the track a little more with the 3.5" pitch.

Did you weigh these? Wondering where these weights came from?

IMO it will work great. I am sure they left it every other for weight and IMO you want the lug clipped but that's me.
Are they making it for the 155? Weight?
Yes they are. The 162 Conquer saved about 17% over the 3" 162 Axys track. I can only assume that the shorter Conquer would save the same percentage over the 155 Polaris 3".
Anyone have a legitimate estimate for the 165 3.5 pitch? 45 lbs is extremely light!! The wider pitch has to be lighter yet
I consider that this to be a more important comparison. I'll bet that you can go with a .2" longer paddle and still have a lighter track with the Conquer 280.
I see a conquer 300 in the near future (3"). With the reviews on the PC 3" and this being basically a lighter spin on the PC track, I can't help but think it will be offered in a 3" next year.
Exactly my thoughts. The lighter the track the better in my book.
