It may not be a fair comparison but the PC is practically a Crazy Carpet compared to the 16 wide maverick I came off of or even to the old 1m 900 camoplasts. I can let the sleds with other tracks get 1/2 way down a big slope and I will still pass them by the bottom.

I didn't want to sound like i was over exaggerating but the trk can guys said they are considering not selling the pc for liability reasons. Just repeating what they said, I have never been On one.

I have never had a problem with breaking or going down hill with my powerclaw but the camo extreme does grab a lot harder going down hill than the powerclaw does.

The PC is not a good shoot climbing track, but when going down most of the time any track wont do what I need, it requires putting the sled on its side and cutting back and forth across the slope to get down safe. I think they should make the fingers 3" with the paddles at 2.6" and all the way to the outside in a 90 duro for the m11T.

I agree. I don't seem to have a problem with downhill braking with the PC.

The fingers and, more importantly, how they are curved are actually what reduce some of the down hill traction of the Powerclaw.

You mean the two fingers forward need to curve back, or be straight? Maybe a little larger finger at ea. end of the paddle will do? If the fingers and paddles were a full 15" wide might help? Maybe a 2.5+ might do the job on a heavier sled? Mike

I think we need a 2.5 and a 3 inch Power Claw in 144, 153, and 162. The current track works great on boost , spring conditions are the last thing i care about.

We already delaminated a 3" track in less than 3 miles with big horsepower so Im going with the 2.5 CE its definitely been proven. Oh need I add that Camoplast DID NOT cover their issue!!!!!!!!!!

If they do come out with a larger track, S can the 153 and replace with a 156 as an added option any std. 153 could accommodate! Mike

Seeing how the 2.5 is getting the most votes, It should include at least being a 85 duro because after 500miles it will be 80 duro and the paddles should be 2.5 with the fingers being 2.8" and make them a little thicker and straight. that would increase the braking and launch.

yep... When I first switched to the CE I pulled the first hill and was like this is ok, then when as I was comming down I said to myself I would never ride another powerclaw, then with the huge dumps of spring snow we have been getting up here in canada, the CE can't be beat. if they made a 15 wide 3" that would hold together I would have one

I've been wondering how the PC would do if you cut the top 1/4" off the fingers and screwed in bolts how it would do.
