I have same sled, Im going with a 2.6 powerclaw 153! My only ?? is 80 or 85 duro? I ride in colo so im kinda thinking 80 but then I think maybe the 85 would be better with the higher track speed a turbo brings! Any thoughts??
What the hell do you need a new track for? That one was only missing a lug or two!!!
2 choices.
1. 3" X3x162"
2. 174x2.5"
I'm personally running the X3, but wish I did the 174x 2.5", if your going to keep it a pump gas a 162x 2.6PC would be good, but for the difference of about $150. I would go 3" unless u do alot of trail bangin

That would be my choice as well. Great all around track, good braking and cheaper than the 2.6. Hard to beat. If the 2.6 and 2.5 were the same price it'd be a tough call though!!

I was actually meaning to tell him he will need the suspension. I have a OVS wheelie kit in mine for now. Worked pretty good all season.
3" Challenger extreme. #1 choice. 2.5 Challenger or Powerclaw 2.6" #2 choice.
Let's see if I got this correctly?
The 3" is a wheelie SOB in the steep even with a good suspension and it's a problem at over 50mph on the trail? ......Sounds like a 2.5 might be an overall more fun track.
I found that in a shorter track(153) situation on my TM8, when I went from a PC to a 2.5 extreme, I was shocked at the huge(better) hook up diff. I don't know what a 3" would do.

I didn't say the 3" is a problem over 50mph
I said it sounds like a big wind mill over 50mph, and since it is moving so much snow and air it makes a lot of noise, and thus I don't drive any faster than that on the trail. I would ride my turbo down the trail at 60 plus when it had the 2.25PC. the down hill braking capability is awesome. it does throw softball size snowballs out behind it though.

Do they even make a 153 3 inch camo? Are you guys just swapping rails and stuffing 156 under 153 tunnel??? Anyone run a powerclaw 2.6 and a 2.5 extreme on the same sled to have a accurate feel for how much difference there is?

I like the 2.6 claw and the 2.5 xtreme. Not a big fan of the 3 inch track. Makes a stocker want to wheelie much less a turbo sled. Some kind of coupling is almost a must on any turbo sled. The 3 inch would be wicked for those bottomless days, but I don't get to ride those too often so an all around track is better for me.
On my 10' m8 162 build this summer i will be getting a used 3'' and cutting down to 2.75
it will have a 925 bb and rg turbo.
the 3'' on my 1000 is little to grabby but scary fun while climbing
