174 3 inch

TreeThrasher · Nov 21, 2011

Hi guys, looking for information on this track. Who is using it and how have they been holding up? I have seen a few posts regarding lugs delaminating and want too see how they are doing when big power is applied.

Thanks!

Got it, love it, 1000 kms on mine so far....:face-icon-small-hap

900km for me on mine all good

sledfvr · Nov 22, 2011

40.7 miles on mine. Looks good still.

Had 174x2.5 on the apex 3500 miles no problems, friends had the same or more on 3" with no issues.
Where we ride the 174 is excellent,Dec,Jan,Feb, after that a 162 robs less power and is easier to handle on set up or hard pack. I have ridden Nytros' with 174s' that tend to push in spring conditions, on hard pack turns.
I'll be testing the ascent this season,on my tnytro. Will let you know how it works. The 174s' have their applications and I can't remember a failure.

1000 miles on my track. It turned my sled into an animal. It will climb anything.

Are you guys running 16" wide or are you cutting them down to 15"? Thinking about putting a 3" on my 162 nytro. I was wondering really, how much difference in side hilling there would be, between the two? I did put the new skinz front end kit on.

I am wanting to run the 3" too but have a clearance issue with the m10 inside bracing and would have to cut it down in width abit. I cut the skidoo 162 track down a few years back with a table saw and it was a SOB. Track usa said there was no demand for the 15 wide and that they would likely never see one.

I have heard you can fit a16 wide into a nytro just by adding some drop brackets and a few minor other mods has anyone done this or is it possible

do you run it a high speed on the way up to the hill.? Others suggestions are they will not hold up at speed?and what size drivers?

I think thats a load of BS, Camoplast just had a bad run of tracks, 2.5's were flying apart too. I had 5000 kms on my 2.5 and it never had scratchers for 3/4's of that...

I have 1000 kms on my 3" and its still perfect.

I agree with bad batch. what size drivers?

I had a 174 2.5 split in half 2 years ago. I was on a groomed trail in IP and it blew off! Luckily I was on a long straight stretch and came to a safe stop. I called Camo, and NOTHING was done!! I now have a 162 2.5 and it looks to be in perfect condition after 2 seasons.

Both sleds, 7 tooth.

I would love a 3" track...

Duke · Nov 27, 2011

I have 7 tooth with my 3", had 8's with 2.5. Know lots of high km tracks with 7 tooth.

i dont take it easy on the trail because of my track . the first 2 tracks spit lugs in the first 200 km . i also had a 2.5 inch that lasted 6000 km on my sled and has done another 2000 on my buddy's sled . with both tracks ive run 7 tooth avids .
I do drive with my scratchers down all the time though with my 3 inch track .
