I curious how she does.
Rode an 18 mtn cat 162x3 PC a bunch this past weekend and it did pretty good.

what did you use to press through the track? i've wanted a 3" PC for awhile now.

I cant answer how TRS did his, But the way Ive done it is just take a piece of steel tubing (the same size you want the window to be) and sharping the edge with a grinder. Then get the track in the shop press and have at it.
I built a press years ago to open up the windows on the old Polaris tracks. I modified the press to do the center port.
SRXSRULE’s way will work for sure. Just make a jig.

So how did it compare to your axys? Only sled I haven't rode.
The ‘18 Cat in our group stomps every stock AXYS, period.
I didn't like the 17 I rode. Least fav of the 3.
Any reason why you didn't go with Avid Powerclaw drivers?
Love this track.
I'm hearing that new Cat is strong....

I don’t like to trim rails.
Glad you like the track.
Edit:
If I keep this sled I’ll get a set of center port drivers from Robbie.

Yes I do.
Dead even climbing. (Multiple runs)
Vs 18 axys 162x3 SLP stg 2 and A2DSLEDWORKS clutching.
Edge to the axys in handling. (Even with the lockout rear shock the mtn cat can’t keep the nose down in steep terrain)
The wide panels inhibit the cat also.

I run 3” pc on my axys, Kmod skid raptors front and rear and Kmod 37”. Bmp 860 my sled flat out stomps! 155”. Does really well in all types of snow. Very durable too! Got a 2.6” new in box to try if this one does ever go.

Drivers
I'm running a 153x3 claw on my turbo pro now. I just used the 2 drivers and left the middle one off.
Stock drivers from axys with chain case put on my 12 pro. No ratchet issues. Might be ratchet issues if that is a 162 track though

back in my skidoo days i ran a 3" pitch CE on my stock 2.86" drivers for years, like 5-6 yrs. never really had any issues. hmmm.

I run a 162"×3" power claw on my axys also,I love how it just keeps digging in when I'm almost stuck and finds something to bit and get me out. I did the avid drivers and what a difference when rolling off the truck deck. It roles from the top off the ramp all the way down. Stock I would half to drag or ride it off.
I run a 162 x 3 PC as well since last year. Using stock drivers with the center driver removed. Zero ratcheting when track is tensioned properly. Very durable track and it does out climb the other 4 Axys 3" in our group.
Any more reviews on this buying a new 850 thinking of putting this track on right away. The 3 inch series 7 is less than great. Kind of on the fence of a 2.6 or 3 with chaincase. Driver change and rail cut with 2.6 option or a c-3 belt drive on chaincase to make this work effectively. Any info would be great.
