10lbs, stock quick drive, and 3"... who's running?

Jreng87 · Sep 12, 2017

Anyone running a 3" boosted on the stock quick drive system? I'm looking to convert the 2.6 to a 280 or x3 track and will be set to run about 10lbs. Can the stock QD handle that well or is the TKI kit a "must" at that point? If the TKI is a must then that would probably scrap the plans to swap tracks at an additional $700...

The stock QD takes quite a bit of punch to be honest. Its really good on the axys. The only downfall is that you cant change gearing like the tki beltdrive can.

But if you are going a 2.8 or 3" track then you need to change drivers. And then its avid no-slip and anti stab axle thats the way to go. And that costs quite a bit...

Dont go with the 280.... I've tried serie 6, 7, 280 and CE X3. Serie 6 aint a bad track to be honest. Pops up really good on snow. X3 gets you alot more forward thrust but abit less popup.
The durability of the X3 is really amazing tho!!! 280's durability is like serie 6 or worse. Lighter track = less rubber = bad durability.

If i were you. Boost it and run it with stock track/QD and just add some more cash to the fuel account. More miles on the sled is always the best value

Kurts Off-Road offers a gear down kit for the AXYS QD. IF you are interested in going that route.

Wouldnt change the stock Quickdrive. I've seen better durability with it compared to TKI.

We have 3 sleds running 9+ psi with stock QD and Pro RMK belt. I don't even bring a spare belt anymore. That's how confident I am with it.

It's not a necessity really but you do lose a little control and adjustability without swapping to the TKI. Also an FYI if you are breaking TKI belts, something else is wrong whether it's a bad bearing or running the belt too tight. When the system is cold it should feel borderline loose. After a stock QD belt is broken in they will look slightly loose too.

1400 boosted miles last year and still on the original QD belt. ^^^^ He's not wrong in his confidence.

Ya I ran the 2.6 turbo'd last season at 7lbs but more curious to 3" and more boost with the QD

Seen it done a few times for sure....Axys and Pro. Fire and Ice belt deflection kit was a super simple little upgrade on the Pro for that application. Not sure if they have 1 for Axys....worth looking in to for the $$.

Ran my 13 Pro with belt at 12psi with a 162 3" CE. Zero issues, never carried a spare.
