Okay, I am thinking of extending one of my 4 stroke cats out to 144 maybe even 151. I have two and they are already 136 units, so I need longer lugs and more track since I do lots of off trail and these sleds are often along and are the hold back when we do get out.
So, I believe I understand track pitch....distance between windows on the track matching the driver with 2.51 being the norm, but lots of push to go to 3 inches, and anti-ratchet drivers.
Why go bigger other than easier to roll the track? Wouldn't doing that close down the distance between the heat exchanger and the track leaving me with less room to put a longer lug on the sled?
Also everyone pushes a big wheel kit on the back as well. Wheel size could be important if you want to go fast, but I don't need it and want more flotation rather than speed, do I still need to fool with it?
Who has a good handle on this stuff??
Go wings!!~~~ 2 nuntin fist period.
