one track to rule them all!!

cbc24 · Oct 30, 2018

So to bring you guys up to speed a friend of mine purchased an axys 155 last year then we slabbed bd turbo switch into it.. it will be getting drivers, anti stab kit and potentially rail braces.. now What I want to kno wis your suggestions on tracks!!
He ideally wants a deep day 3" track! I being a Cat guy said do a powder claw 3" but he wants to be able to use the stock pitch size so he can swap his old one back on.

Being a cat guy, you know it's called a power claw right?

But yes, I agree that would be the ideal track. I love it on my pro rmk.

The only 3” tracks available are 3” pitch.

The poo 2.6 track is the largest lug available in 2.86 pitch.

Really no other information you need.

Best deep day track is an x3.2 for float and propulsion. (156x15x3.2 in 3” pitch)
He could sell the stock track and get a 3” pitch 156x2.5 camo extreme for harder snow conditions?

Buy a good used drive shaft... get a steel one.... and have a set of drivers for both tracks already mounted on the shafts.... you have to pull the shaft anyway to do the track swap....

my 2¢

So-- Belt drive or Chain case??

I don't think their will ever be 1 track to rule IT all just to many snow conditions to deal with... my 2c

I thought it was a catchy title lol I have not rode a conquor 2.8 but have tried the 3.2 and its over kill. Its on a belt drive model btw. I have had great luck with my 2.6 pc on my kitty. only lost one lug from having it wot against a tree for 10 seconds!

BILTIT · Nov 5, 2018

I have run all three lug heights of PC and the 3" works the best, even on the flatlands

I had a great comparison last year in Revy, neighbours gf got her sled stuck in a spot I shouldn't have brought them into so I had to ride the axys 155 2.6 out and hike down and grab my sled. Had a gnarly line to get back out side by side. The axys 2.6 would grip well propelling snow out while maintaining rigidity until there was a difference in snow (hard snow layer) where the paddles would start to trench or fold I had to divert and cut a side hill to make the rest of the line. I felt my cat shoveled more and I made it up the whole line np but that could be a hp/tq factor. I felt as if you threw a pc 2.6/3'' with drivers on an axys it would give it that extra bite in harder snow pack with enough gear reduction to keep that engine torquing.
Stock of course

Define overkill. ?

As in “it works too well?”

Or “too much climbing ability?”

The 3” pc does pretty good but definitely trenches more than the X3.2.

you get that trail compromise and poor spring snow capability. I tried it on a axys 163 mtn tk turbo lol you could go where ever your heart desired though. I just didnt know what other options were even out there.

Gotcha.

Spring snow = snowbike.

Trail = you need a new place to ride.

But one track for everything i’m Going to pick the track that works best on the best days.
