Conquer 280

Blumoog · Jan 1, 2017

Hello everyone, first time poster, glad to be here. I have a question, I am considering putting a new track on my 2010 m8. I was shopping tracks and like the camoplast conquer 280. My only concern is that will there be enough clearance for the track under the tunnel? I know some guys have put 3 inch tracks in their m8s but have to cut the track to get clearance, will the 2.8 clear without cutting or will I have to go for 2.6 powder claw or 2.5 camoplast?
Thanks.

A lot of people have put a real 3in track on the M series without modification.

I put this track on my stock 2010 m8 before the season. It fits just fine.

Have you ridden it with the track? If so, how is it?
Thanks

Heard (second hand) that the 280 is too stiff and trenches in the light stuff, works great for spring conditions - was hoping it lived up to the hype since it's so light, etc, but going to hold off until I can try it first hand...

first ride was with lots of fluff and no base. Trenched bad. Last ride was with a foot and a half of fluff over a base and it was better but still not what I was hoping for. At this point if I had to do it again I would probably go with the 2.6. One thing I will say is that I was worried about durability due to the light weight but that first ride I hit logs, stumps, rocks you name it and it held up fine. I will also say that I have always had issues with this sled trenching even after trying the geo mod and endless shock pressures and revalves.

Hope it works

I hope it works well for me... I just ordered one not looking forward to it trenching.

My first ride out on my M series it trenches bad bad! I can say one thing, it climbs like a monster but I am not sold on it yet. I don't think I would buy it over again. I wish I would have held onto my challenger extreme cause it would be going back on.

I also put the 36" alternative impact front end on over the summer. I don't think the track was worth the money but narrowing the front was worth every penny.

Best mod I've done period!!!!

Hopefully with a few more rides in different snow conditions the 2.8 will prove to be better than what I have initially experienced.

Now that we have some base I am very happy with the track, I am running a Kmod skid so not apples to apples, But super impressed the track right now. Hard to compare from last yr with the 3'' due to 17'' chain case and 8 tooth, worth every penny btw. Best mod you can do. I also pulled my limiters up one hole from last yr, very happy with combination of track and 17 relocate.

Thanks everyone for the comments, the next question I have is more concerning all tracks not just the conquer. I rode a buddies 2015 rmk and while very nice, it was too easy to lay over for me, by contrast the m8 is hard to layover, is there any chance a track could help this or is it front end geometry?
Thanks

That's front end geometry and shock setup. Also the front track shock plays a big role in how it handles.

Very effective performance upgrade - though you do have to shorten your front shocks ..
