3" Track for the Pro
- Thread starter FatDogX
- Start date
I'm super happy with the Roosterbuilt clutch kit I'm running with the X-3 163". As MH said these tracks were designed to be run well with stock power levels but are durable enough to run at higher HP levels too. I was worried the track would take the snap out of the Pro and it didn't at all. Even in super deep snow I could spin that track, it never bogged then engine out. My buddies running turbos all year have all their paddles and the tracks are in excellent shape. Pretty impressive!
My dealer says yes. I ordered the 155, I will add a short extension and a big wheel kit if they don't. He seemed pretty certain they would...

well i am going to give you my experience with the 3in track. now remember that i have a 2 ply 174 that we cut down to a 15. running the track tight doesn't work better period. the sled wouldn't even roll going down hill. i loosened my track up and have about 2in of sag in it when i pickup on the back end. belt life is better and clutches run cooler. i'm sorry eric i normally agree with you on most everything but who ever you are getting this info from is completely full of it. now if they are going to come out with a single ply track that is a 174 it might work better then the 2 ply ones running tight.
If they are coming with a 3" track with the center whole punched what drivers do you use? I'm planning on doing this to my 13 this summer yet. Looking at avoids website I just see the extrovert drivers requiring trimming the rails. What's the Better option?
Also I've heard a fee say they were happy with the rooster built clutching. My question is was that with the stock secondary? I have the kit from Team for the Tied clutch that I ran last year with Mtx weights in the primary. Will I need to change my helix in the tied clutch for the 3" track?
3" track for the Pro
Here's a picture of 7 tooth 3" drivers for the center punched track. We made a few sets of these last year to try them out. They worked very well. No cutting of the rails required. The anti-ratchet points are .25" longer than stock, looser track. Plus with no bare shaft showing in the middle, no ice build up. We made some in the stock 8 tooth 2.86" pitch. They worked well also. We can make them in any pitch, no of teeth and shaft size. They aren't on our site yet but are available. Avid Products

I like that design much better! I would rather not cut my rails and these give you the best of both worlds! Great job Avid! You should definitely get it up on your website.
2013 PRO163 WITH Booie Tial Turbo & 7 tooth drivers w 3" track
7 tooth drivers work well with the 3" x3 track, small issue though my Bro sheared his QD drive belt and we had to tow it off the MTN. the 3" Track pulled hard, and was a bear to get back to the trail . I ruined a drive belt on my Twisted Turbo M8 @ 10 psi pulling it out with 12 " of fresh. hindsight being 20/20 we should of cut off the ruined QD belt but didn't since the track turned.

Is the diameter of the 7 tooth drivers close to the same diameter of the rear wheels? Changing from 8 tooth to 7 tooth drivers and saying it will wear the track out is like saying if you don't run at least 8" rear wheels it will destroy your track. A 155 3" would be awesome.
I am very excited about this. I bet a 15_ X3 on a Pro would be a riot!
So Robbie, is it going to be a 156 X3 with the center punched out? Is that what I'm gathering? Judging by the 162 X3 weight, that track should be pretty light as well!

Nice job.
I'll be trying an X3 on my sled. When will the center punched tracks be available?
the 162x3- 3" weighs 59 lbs
59 lbs

Where is this center punched 3" track info coming from, and since when is there going to be a 15" wide version in the 156? News to us over here….

I did call and confirm this with Bruce at Camoplast. Available mid September. Avid should have the drivers as well so you will not need the anti stab kit.
The 162 with the center punched will be available around end of august /beginning of September. I'm holding off tell then to get mine. This was both from Avid and Carls cycle.

Now hopefully that timelines accurate, unlike the steady 3'x156' rumours, and missed release dates on that track
