What track?

I've always had 162's tell last year and bought a used Twisted HCR, then stretched it to a 162 and I like the 153 so I'm going back to a 153. Way more challenge, and fun. Go 3".

You've got turbo. Honestly what hill is that steep that you can't already climb with what you have? I can climb to the moon with a 153! I'd love to try a 153x3", but I don't think the 3" paddles will hold up to the abuse of 65 plus days a year that I ride. I can't imagine buying a new $1000 track every year!
A 174" plus turbo = too damn much!

I think the 162" fits me best, but that becuse I am fat too........................

i beleive i just read that camo was doign a 153x3".. personally i think that on one of those sleds would be INSANE!!! super nimble and insane traction.
3 will be very obviously better then the 2.5... just curious how they are still doing on reliability.

Yep..it's actually be a 156 since they can only do even number of pitches. Hopefully by November....16 wide only.
Why is that 3.0 pitch goes into 153 51 times?
3inch 153 would be great!
Thanks,

Its just two different rider styles, the ones that say 153 like to ride more backcounty tree riding like you see in the schooled vids, the 174's for the crazy canadian shoot climbers. usually thats how it goes but not completely.
It has to do with their existing molds so it has to be an even number....also you don't end up with an odd set of paddles like the some odd numbered tracks. We also wanted 153, but 156 is as close as they can make it in a 3" paddle. I'll take it! Maybe go to a slightly larger rear idler if needed to take up the slack.
I heard Brad tried a 3" in place of a 2.5" that was pulling around 100mph on a yamaha. It dropped his track speed down in the 60's and his ground speed was slower. Just what I heard. Even if this is true I would think a 800 with lower track speed would benefit from the 3".
The old challenger extreme with full width paddles.
As for the loss of track speed concerns....yes, it will be a little slower,it's a lot of track. We saw a drop of 3-4 mph on sustained climbing track speeds on a stock 800,still spinning the 162 3" in the mid 40's. Actual speed was probably same or higher and the mark on the hill was waaaayy higher.
Any turbo setup should have no problem spinning a 3".

Not a chance that happened
Hey guys, just got my new 2.5 Camo ex and was wondering just how easy it is to swap tracks out on the M's? Read a couple different posts on different websites and its getting confusing... Does anyone have an easy answer or maybe some pics they could post?? Would be greatly appreciated
