Somewhere between too dumb to quit and flat earth
Ok so i stole this idea from the rmsha circuit. I actualy bought a track form Keith Curtis this summer that came off of his 600 that he won jackson with a few years back. It was the stock 5.1 with the lugs cut down and track screws in every lug. I ended up pulling half the screws out of my old track on my dragon. So i decided to play with my new sleds track.
Track screws are AWSOME in my honest opinion. They hook up so freeking hard on anything they can get ahold of and offer alot of protection. Ever climb a hill and hit a patch of ice? If you have, you know the hopeless gut wrenching feeling as you slide backwards down a hill on a $12,000 sled as it slams you into the ground and heads for trees. The screws dig into ice very well and also hook up great on logs or if you dig through the snow and hit dirt.
Now i know those riding conditions don't sound fun to alot of you guys but i am very good at finding **** holes and it's nice to not have to worry about geting stuck on ice.
I literaly can pop a wheelie on ice with my assault now. As far as instalation, i simply put screws in every other lug all the way around. Come to find out that if screws are on the outer lugs, they will put deep scratches in your coolers. SOOOOO i took out all the screws and decided i didn't need them. After one ride they were back in. After about 600 miles with this set up, i can honestly say it works. It wont hinder deep snow performance, but will gain you performance on set up snow. So i did a staggerd pattern in every other lug in the center 2 lugs of the track. It also keeps the already stiff lugs on the assualt track from flexing what so ever.
The instalation is easy, they already have the track marked for the screws. Just use your faverite power drill and in 35 min you are done.
The only damage it does to the sled is when you botttom it out they will put little scratches on the inside of the tunnle. A simply guard could be maid to protect it, but i don't realy care about the scratches so im leaving it the way it is. Hope someone finds this helpfull.
