Thanks MH, next year I will try one.
Standard Avids not the PC. Sounds like a positive upgrade from Avid. Missed that one. Went to their web site and looked at them.
I still have the clearance/rolling resistance concern. Damn old school guy.

Ater doing several 3" 7t combos on pros, I prefer to remove the lower QD bearing, install the driveshaft and then slide the bearing in. It makes it easier to get the track past the driver lugs and less cussing. Plenty of clearance and no more rubbing than a stock track run a little loose. Way more clearance than the XM's.
The stock Pro track works very good in the fluff, the 3" works best in heavier snow.....IMO.

This is a pic straight up at the very front of the track. There is a little more than my finger thickness clearance there. Also, the whole skid is mounted about an inch higher up in the tunnel and with the KMOD skid. You drill a new hole in the drop bracket about an inch higher and a little forward. There is good side clearance because the lugs have a taper to them. I can't get more than one pic to upload off my phone.

Wade... thanks for that photo.
The one I'm sincerely interested in is from inside the track showing the track to front-arm wear pad clearances.
If you get a chance...I'd appreciate it.... smaller driver and higher position in the tunnel... makes me sincerely curious... in a learning way.
Wondering what this clearance would be on a stock arm...Kevin showed that his arm has a modified cross tube at the front/top to allow for more involute drive nub clearance.
Cheers,

How are the 3" lugs holding up for guys... Looking at the x3 possibly.
Often ride 10 miles of trails before getting into the back country.(Cascade concrete snow)
And am I understanding this right, just 7t needed for the 3" to fit on the 13's?

I only got about 150 miles on my X-3 before I put the Pro away. I like that track better in every condition. Even seems to work better on a hard packed trail and I rode that sled at full throttle everywhere I would run the stock track. I think track speed of high 70s on the trail. I'm pretty sure the Pro is going to a new home but I'm keeping the track and skid for my Pro Lite. I have 2 buddies who ran the same track on Turbo Pros and they ride hard. Each had over 1000 hard mountain miles boosted and the tracks have ALL their lugs and still look fresh. I'm sold on this track.
All of those setup with 7t? On 2013's?
Stock quickdrive holding up for your buddies that are boosted with that x3?
Yes all 3 with just 7 tooth drivers. Quickdrive on 1 worked well, he is either still on stock belt or first replacement. Other sled is on 3 or 4th belt. Both are Boonedocker Turbos and before sled 2 got the heat shield on that fits over the muffler it cooked belts. Belts failed from the outside. After installation of the heat shield its worked well. FYI, these are 2013 BD Turbo kits and they worked awesome. I was really impressed with how clean they ran and how they never fiddled with them on the hill at all. Both were professionally installed.
