We are working on a clutch kit right now with Altitude Power Sports for the 850 and are headed up this weekend to dial it in. We will have a great package to make that 850 rip !! Track speed will be above 50mph

For a cheap gear down option I am using the Pro quick drive gears. Takes gearing to 2:39. You should be able to run 72gram weights in McBride. I am running the 163x2.6 but using MDS weights at 71grams. Going to bump up to 73 and see what happens. I did like the gear down, definitely made a difference.

They will not pull polaris 10 series 72 gram.... dont get confused talking about weight it has to be apples to apples. MDS weights are a totally different profile and not the same tip weight as the 10 72.

Guys, I'm not looking to do any mods just yet, I want to know if guys are running 10-70s on their sleds in the renshaw elevations.... The sled came with 10-68s and the manual says that's good for 7-9k ft. And 10-70s are for 5-7k feet.... I've only had mine up to Revy and it pulled 8150 out there with 68s. I'm looking for input from guys that have ridden in McBride/vale with a stock setup 163x2.6

Mine pulled the same sledding Kakwa, I'm thinking going down to 66. Around 3000ft I pull 8250 all day.
