XP: Swapping from a 154 to a 163...

[Trashy]

Hi all!
Anyone out there with an XP swap from a 154" track to a 163? Other than the track, what else is necessary? I want to do it right with new 163 rails (I don't like using extensions) but will the skid components line up? And what about the tunnel; it looks like you could get away without an extension there... Even better yet, anyone have a track they wanna sell?
Thanks!!!

163 rails will doo it--the suspension is the same and bolts in the same place --the 163 just extend behind the mounting holes

Now where is a good place to buy a stock 163 track and some rails? Or should I consider a different track?

Extend the tunnel or leave well enuff alone? That composite tunnel would be tricky to extend and make it look good.

either extend or remove the flap---i dont think there will be any overheating problems with the 154 tunnel

if your from alberta i think i saw an add from buck lake bob that he was blowing out 163 tracks new for 596 cad. i have a track and i have the extentions from tracks usa to put on my 154 just finaly got enough snow out west to make it worth it. let us know what you do for clutching. i see specialty sleds in edmonton is dooing a tunnel ext. i was thinking i might just fab. up something, may move the taillight to the seat just clean it up a bit let jus know post a pic if you have any
