Any advice is much appreciated.

I agree with everyone that the camo etreme is the best bet for yah. The nice thing is that it comes in a 2.86 pitch and 2.5" lug, not just 3.0pitch anymore. So you wouldnt even have to swap out your drivers. But the advantage to swapping out your drivers is that you'd be able to run your track looser as the design of the doo stock drivers causes a person to have to run track a fair bit tighter so that it doesn't ratchet. But you can just swap track out for camo extreme with no issues.

How loose should the track be on a 09 800 xp 154". When I jack up the back end off the ground the track hangs about 1.25" below the sliders. Is that too loose, too tight or in the ball park.

That shouldn't be to bad. I personally like to run them as loose as possible without them ratcheting.

Thank you.

another vote for the camo extreme. Curtis from Tracks Canada can help you out, he had the best prices when I was looking for one.

Sorry about the highjack. I would like to change out the track on my 04 REV but after viewing the website mention it sure looks like the same one i have just with a deeper lug. I'm thinking my stock is only a 2" (x16 x 151) camoplast. Here's a pic. Does the extra 1/2" make that much difference? Will a 2.5" fit in my skid without a drop/ roll.

thanks for the advice guys i am looking into prices as i can get a takeoff for 450 but if it isent to much mor i will go with the camoplast.

 

[maxwell]

will be twice as much for the camo.

just consider the effort your putting into changing it. might as well make it worth the effort

a 2.5 will fit, but you need smaller drivers on the driveshaft or a drop and roll lots of work. 04 stock summit track was 2 " , the 2.5 should be a big improvement without a lot of work.

i did a track change on my 09 163 to the camo extreme 16x2.5 2.86 pitch love it like night and day over the stocker dont leave a 4 foot trench everywhere I go anymore the stocker had way to much porting in it. The only thing I did wrong is I should of went with the 3 pitch and changed the drivers you dont have to change the drivers and it will work but its not as efficent and you dont want anything more holding that track up cause its going to weight in more than the stocker did

If it will save you money, just get the 15wide. The new doos only have paddles out to 15" anyway as the 08 and 09s were so tight.

Do I have to modify the distance between my rails for a 15" wide track over a 16" wide track?

I am in the same boat as XPSledneck (2008 XP Summit 154 with pooched track) and I was wondering if a 156 would fit with the current skid? would I need rail extensions?

would 15wide be better than the 16 wide? I actually rub a bit with my track and the dealer had to change the rear grab bar bolts to stop the rubbing. but would keeping my tunnell clear be an issue with more room in there with a 15"?


I am thinking 2.5" paddle, what size drivers will i want to go to with that larger paddle size?

Thanks Guys,

 

[glengine]

The distance between the rails is the same if it's 15" or 16" wide. There has been quite afew guys swithcin there doo tracks out for the cat track.

 

[zeeberg7]

Thanks Glengine,

Now if I want a 2.5" paddle what size drivers do I need?

also if I want to try a 156 will I need rail extensions?

Thank You,

has anybody got a good look at doo"s new 2.5 . dealer said it has hollow paddles to keep the rotating weight down , seems like a descent idea but durability? got sucked into a challenger lite a few years back because of weight . and that started blowing paddles very quickly . not cool ..
