I have a few track related ???'s
Can anyone put the actual length on these tracks, 151/53/56/59/62?
I know that they are all close, can anyone explain it me
Do the 151/159/162 share the dimensions front shock mount to rear shock mount? and did they mount in the same holes in the tunnel?

When I did a 121 to 136 the rear shock mount moved back in both the rails and the tunnel, From what I can see it looks like the 151/159/162 are in the same location?? This is based on pics, so I cant really tell!! Thanks

The size is the total length of the track circumference (Total distance around the track)

Since it it measured this way, if your looking for a larger sized track, the effective incremental length is half the increase in the length of the larger track:

If your at a 136" track and you want to go 151"

.5(151-136)= 7.5" more on the snow than a 136" (In rough terms)

In any of the track sizes, the skid stays the same in terms of where the shocks are located. Just because you go from a 144" to a 151", does not mean that you move any of the shocks at all.

Basically with a longer track you are just increasing the rail length, and adding a tunnel extension and relocating your coolers (If necessary)

Thanks, I was missing the .5
Not to confuse the issue, does track pitch matter? 2.52 or 3.0

Track length is divisable by the track pitch.

2.52 vs 3.0 is the pitch, meaning every 2.52 inches there is a lug and a hole where the drivers go through the track, so a 2.52 track has to have the 2.52 drivers same as the 3.0 track and drivers, so to change to a 3.0 pitch track you have to change drivers also, but on some older sleds the 3.0 drives might be to big of round to clear the tunnel, in which case if you wanted to do it you would have to drop and roll the chain case and probably regear the chain case. I think from a 141-174 the shock mounts stay the same, only rail and tunnel change.

Thanks All, I like the basic method, I just missed the .05! This gives me a better picture. I knew shorts tracks have a suspension relocation to to it correctly, wasnt sure on the long track!
