I have a fully clipped track, can anyone see a problem with removing every other clip to reduce rotating weight?
Remember, for every pound of rotating weight it"s the same as adding 7 pounds of weight to the sled.
You have 96 clips in all, remove 1/2=48 still 16 more than a closed window set up which is 32.
eight houndred triple; I'd say ya got a wieght problem!
Pulling every other clip "SHOULDN'T" be a problem, in powder it should be just fine but in marginal snow,??? I think I would try every third clip first & ride it like that for good while first to see if it'll have any goofy wear.
It wouldn't hurt nun to drill a thousand little holes in your slides (not all the way threw ofcourse) to hold snow in and lube as it melts out in marginal snow area's!?
Talk To A Camoplast Track Dealer. The every third window closed design is also a different design. I don't know if you can safely do that but if it came with them, personally I would leave it alone and just buy a different track. There are alot of good deals out there, especially if you can make it to Haydays.
this should not be a problem, as long as the snow isn't marginal(this year hahahahah) then it will be a little slower beacuse of the drag. I have fully clipped the 1/3 window tracks and gotten more speed out of them. Its your decision, but you won't hurt anything.
I just thought with all the 1/3 window tracks being made today I could go with a 1/2 set up,reduce weight,and still have an open window to let snow in. I need all the speed I can get out of a sled with 136x1 1/2 paddle with mechanical reverse! Seems like it should work and gain some free H.P.
After all, this is the reason for the 1/3 window design[to reduce rotating weight] and I guess hold in snow but I have yet to see that hold true.
mikadoo,I am with you, in theory that is correct that every one pound of rotational weight is equal to 7 pounds. I never tried it if you do let us know which way it goes faster or slower.
Hello everyone, I recently bought a 2015 polaris indy 550. I want your guys opinions on these sleds. I’ve heard the ones with the edge chassis were unreliable but I think the newer ones are more reliable correct?
We tried the group meeting last year and nobody showed but the breakfast was a hit. Anyone up for meeting again this year before the chaos begins? I will probably be coming up with Mark and Dave and going to Big Boy before we get there so if anyone wants to join us here is your invite.

I have a 2002 MXZ 700 RER Sport with Boysen reeds and MBRP can. I ride in temps from the teens to low 30”s too me it seems like it runs rich. What is my stock jetting and should the jetting be changed for the kids? If so to what?
I am sure the Thundercat is one....but what else is a fast sled.
I have a v-max 4, and now want something faster.
Please tell me what years to keep an eye out for also.
Thanks.
It wasn’t long ago that we were at the Wawa Motor Inn, just north of Sault Ste. Marie, sitting in front of a warm fire after a day of boondocking in Northern Ontario backcountry. Read More >>
