Avid or Powderfreaks can help. I had some Frogskins because i couldn’t keep my goggle bag from getting wet. Also down by my belt drive I need to smooth out with some silicon. Just in the process of adding a full Lime Nine wrap, as a first timer it is an undertaking.

I think I will be getting some Frog Skinz as well. I need to ensure that doesn’t keep happening.
Post up some pics when yur done with that Wrap.

First of all I think I would run Powder Freaks before Avid. I had Avid on a Pro and they were rough. Second you will need an anti stab kit and the MTNTK one is the beefiest I’ve seen. No bearing issues. This set up will allow you to run the track much looser and the track will turn with less resistance plus it won’t ratchet.

I have a 19 and I am considering doing this as I’m not a fan of a tight track.
That’s exactly what I wanted to know. As both you and Dragonweld said, I am not a fan of a super tight track either. Rolling resistance is huge with a tight track. A little surprised this is the case with the stock set up.

So are the drivers pressed on or through bolted. Have never done a swap like this before.

They are pressed on. You will need to cut your rails and run an anti-stab as well.

Scott the stock drivers suck, the track has to be so tight its like hitting the brake when you let off the gas. Seal all the gaps, the foot well stops need to be screened they let way to much snow in. Is it possible that your throttle issue was cuz it was freezing up?? my throttle was sticking all day when I was up there on Saturday. I have used Avid drivers from the beginning of time always been good for me, I am trying a set of powderfreeks this week. Give me a call at the shop to shoot the ****, and you will want to put in SLP intake vents in so the engine can get air on the powder days.
