CE 2.5?

HCR1000Rider · Sep 1, 2015

Hi folks just bout a 2015 pro 800 and I have a near brand new CE 2.5 that I had on my m1000 and I absolutely loved it. My stupid question is will the 153x15x2.5 3" pitch track fit on the 155? I understand that I would have to change the drivers to the 3" pitch and also would I have to drop to 7 tooth for that 1/10"? Any info would be appreciated.

Fit right in.
7 tooth drivers required.

sounds good any advice on which drivers to purchase

sounds good any advice on which brand of drivers and also how bout the gear ratio

Yes... I assume you have the Camplast 9174M track?? ... With that track Run the AVID drivers.

I worked with Robbie at Avid a few years back to come out with new style driver for these tracks... smoother than the center drive configurations... and much smoother than the old school "Whal Bros Style" drivers that ride on top of the steel track clips.

Is your 2015 "PRO" truly a "PRO RMK" or a PRO-Ride Chassis "RMK"... ie, does it have an aluminum driveshaft or a steel one?

This driver if you have a chaincase equipped sled... with Steel Driveshaft (AKA ...Std. RMK) very popular choice in 2015)

Or This if you have a Quick Drive (belt drive) equipped sled... With an aluminum driveshaft (AKA..."PRO-RMK")
CLICK HERE

A small consideration...You will need to cut the nose of your rails to clear the drive teeth... (shorten by about an inch)
Many people make a big deal about this... but for me... and hundreds of other that I've talked about this with...ZERO issues.

Run a nice "Anti-stab" kit on the front of the trimmed rail for good extra measure.

Make sure you run factory tension, as prescribed in the owners manual, on the track... Tracks looser than that cost you performance.

Also...if the sled has any miles on it at all.. when you have the skid out of the sled... Pull out all the cross shafts, clean the tubes and shafts and re-grease with a good grease... good time to service the spring adjusters as well.. both outlined in separate threads.

Since you are new to this sled and brand...

You say "gear ratio"...

Again, need to know which model of 2015 you have... chaincase or QuickDrive

Gearing choices about for the Chaicase equipped sleds..
IMO... Run the 20/44 or the 20/45 gearing... 74 pitch chain.

If you have a quickdrive sled... you will need to buy a geardown kit from TKI, Kurts etc... $595 - $699... includes tensioner and different belt (a plus)
IMO... Go with this track... I'd prefer the 2.25:1 or 2.33:1 ratio of the TKI to the 2.41:1 of the Kurts... with the relative comparitive ratio as compared to the 8 tooth stock drivers... it would feel like a 2.41:1/2.53:1 (TKI) vs. 2.63:1 (Kurts)

it is the PRO rmk with QD

HCR1000Rider · Sep 1, 2015

and I never give it a thought that I would have to go to a different QD setup, that's a chunk of change I might have to rethink this whole track swap deal

mountainhorse · Sep 1, 2015

Many run it with what ends up, for the QD sleds, 2.35:1 "comparitive ratio"

With that mid length track... it may work out well for you.

However,
The drivers are still $275 approx delivered add another $85 for the stab kit ($360).

If if IS the 9174 track... truly stellar on the PRO RMK...

IMO, the best "Swiss Army Knife" of a track offered... and what the new Series 6, 2.6" track copied for the most part.

.

HCR1000Rider · Sep 1, 2015

it is the the 9174m track and what you were saying earlier I would be able to get away with just swapping out the drivers cuz idk bout dropping $700 just for the tki kit

HCR1000Rider · Sep 1, 2015

95% of my riding is done in the UP half trail half backcountry

mountainhorse · Sep 1, 2015

UP... run it with the 7 tooth and the anti stab and call it good!

HCR1000Rider · Sep 2, 2015

Also one more thing with the 7 tooth and 3" pitch how bad is track speed affected

mountainhorse · Sep 2, 2015

It is a .92 underdrive

There's a reason why Camo never offered this exact lug (2.5, non-serrated) in a 2.86 pitch centerport, as good as the 9174/5 worked. And never will.

They had to be working with poo on the series 6 2.86 pitch, and poo knew the 2.6 wouldn't fit stock in a pro-ride without a driver change, unlike the 9104/5. (The 9104 can fit a stock Pro-ride without a mandatory driver change.)

The new track creates excitement and one more incentive to move from the Pro-ride to the Axys. Poo sells more new sleds. Camo gets the track sale either way. 99% of the time the buyer cannot tell the difference between a 2.5 or 2.6, but, it sure feels good on the snow. Marketing.

I already had the 2.5 ce just wondering how much track speed change there would be with the 7 tooth 3" pitch

Depending on your clutching.
Stock clutching often benefits from a slight geardown.
Under load after compensation for the under drive factor shows a gain in trackspeed.
Only quantified by the butt dyno.

Which is subjective to.
Snow conditions
The different track.
Humidity
Altitude
Memories of last year
Purchase justification (mental horsepower)
Monster stickers
And of course obamas latest tee time.

Sounds good it's a brand new sled I don't even have the low at weights for it yet
