X3 cooling

[damx]

Rode today with my 162 X3", this track is awsome, better then stock track at every thing but trail cooling. It has a 100' roost behind it lol, and makes the stock snow flap go strait back. Have any of you tryed a different snow flap out?

Ya seen that they have a 24" flap, just woundering if it will help.

I run their long snow flap. It's quite stiff. It doesn't bend very easy and keeps the snow from flying out. I have had to replace robots quite often when you get stuck and roll your sled over it doesn't bend much and pops the rivots.

I also and running PAR's extra coolers. I run about 130 going down the trail with my scratchers down. That's coolingy 910 my wife stock sled runs about 123-125 down the trail

What are pars extra coolers? And where do you get them? My sled with an x3 creeps up to like 170 fast! And I have to stop a lot and put snow all over the tunnel and drag my feet. Anything I can do? Thanks

I will post some pics tomorrow. Sorry I forgot to look back at this thread. You can look on their website also. The company is Power Addiction Racing (PAR) out of Logan Utah.

One thing I found out, you need to find a good speed going down the trail. To fast the snow blowes up the flap and sled heats up, to slow and sled will heat up also. Good speed for me was 6000-6800 rpm about. Also if you can set you're sag low as it wil help with cooling.

EXTRA COOLER AND LONG SNOW FLAP

I have a P.A.R. rear cooler and the extra long snow flap on my 13 pro w/163 track. The temps still climb up to around 170 riding thru the trees with set up snow. Had to find some open areas to bring the RPM's up to cool it down. The long snow flap is great unless you was to back up in deeper snow or back it of a trailer. It get caught up by the track . I have a white flap with lots of black skid/track marks on it. Wish I could find a way to keep the sled cool.

Put a strap with a cinch buckle on that long flap. Stops it from getting pulled into the tunnel, you can cinch it up when the snow is deep, or backing up, etc. Been doing it on an 11 for 3 yrs. I've also broke rivets rolling it over - put in stainless bolts with some fabbed plastic spacers, no more breaky. Will fatigue the aluminum tunnel closeoff that the flap attaches to over time. FWIW.

Have you tried the remote tstat setup? It will help some for sure.

I also have the Tara alps t- stat.

Haven't tried the $28 dollar fix. I still have 2-1/2 years of warranty left. I still might try it if it can be put back to stock.
