New driveshaft.

[MTsled3]

All tracks are driven by the nubs. Extroverts don't drive the track unless the track is loose and skips over the nubs.
That's not a great explanation but maybe it makes enough sense?
U don't want to drive in the window.

Makes sense, although I've been reading that the new drivers are extroverts, seems that isnt true.

That setup ought to be popular with the opposite sex...

Have you tried the drivers?
Did you not like how they work?

Or did you change your gender?
(That sort of thing is really popular in Oregon)

I'm guessing thats the new drivers for the 2.6 and 3" tracks.

Looks like 6 tooth drivers to me. That would mean 2.75 track.

So all slash chassis based sleds are literally a cooler with snowmobile parts attached? Pics of the chassis/cooler ect with...the tank.. I'll show you mine if anyone wants to show me the one we all wanna be on right now

Polaris must have some proprietary tech planned or going on that hasn't been fully explained or experienced yet. Let me cut to the chase, how much extra is the intercooler going to cost and if not oem will that void the warranty?

Damn I hope I find one in the wild...

There is also a 146 x 2.6 that we have not seen and I can not order and it won't fit a 21 sba 650 before I get my 850 cause the tracks don't exist yet and if they do I have not seen it on the YouTubes, facenecks or dark interwebs...

those are not really extroverts on that new shaft set-up and there is no anti-stab. those are definitely 6 tooth drivers.

that video was done at the dealer in Reno, NV. If I knew they had those sleds, I would have gone there today to have a look. I was at the dealer in Carson City only about 20 miles away.

Driver today from a 2022 at the dealer with a series 8 track

My point is the new drivers do not have the full radius support to the track like older drivers did. This would likely be causing vibration that TRS has mentioned. This vibration could be a possible source of fatigue to the end of the driveshaft causing failure.

I wasn’t aware TRS has ridden the 2022?

These drivers have the same non rounded profile as my avid drivers do.

I’m planning to ride one of the prototypes when it’s in Alaska. 3-15 through 4-12

 

[Spiderman]

It will be interesting to see after that ride. I agree on the vibration and fatigue. I would hope after all our R&D for Polaris on the 21s that the the vibration and racheting would be gone on the 22s. There is definitely way more contact area with the drivers to the track.

I gotta look at my Summit. They vibrate more than my 2.6 RMK ever did. Like volcano buster says....how would you stop vibration if there is nothing between the drive volutes of the intraverts....it's gotta vibrate, the driver ain't round???

I don't get it. Someone NEUTRAL needs to ride this thing.

3.5pitch will vibrate. Even the Alpha with larger 7tooth drivers and 10" idlers, vibrates and makes a lot of noise.

I think if the drivers are round they will not grip the track.

Heard from a guy at a local dealer that the drivers in that pic are prototype and actual sleds will have extros

Bet ya a dollar there are no extroverts next year. They will all have the above shaft.

I will gladly pay this dollar.

Confirmed today, extroverts, new rails, and anti-stab wheels.
What’s the world coming too.

Heard the same from Marty Sampson.

Got it from Darren Hedlund today.

New drivers

That is a new track too. It has the driver nubs on the outside of the rails like the old series 5 tracks. I like that design as it keeps the track more centered. More weight though.

You can blame me I’m not a fan of the current design and have bitched about it incessantly. Maybe they did it to shut me up?

The current design does cause issues in certain snow and the 6 tooth has brought even more challenges even with fully clipped and properly adjusted tracks.

Probably safe to assume they did internal testing and listened to sponsored riders / ambassadors.........

You don’t need to worry about any blame.......
