vmax track question

[cougar1985]

it looks like its time to give the old track the heave ho.will a predator 1.25 inch track be ok?(clearence).does anybody use this track and how are they?1994 vmax-600.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe you would have to notch the track to get the 1.25 lug to clear otherwise your lugs will be rubbing on the heat exchangers under the tunnel. I'm sure someone on here will know for sure. You may just want to consider a 1" lug as it will be a huge improvement over the stock .5" lug.

I have the 1.25" predator on my '96 500.It does rub a little,I cut about an 1/8th off of the lugs inline with the heat exchangers.No big deal took about 15 min. after the new track was on.By the way I love the hook up with the predator.

thanks guys.there is a 1 inch predator also.

Ya its the 9830. Got it on my sled.

 

[cougar1985]

how is it? good grip? i would prefer not to put studs on atall.

the 9830 is the 1" predator, he must've just had a typo. 9830H is clipped every third. Grip is amazing for a 1" track, you wont even believe it, especially compared to stock.

 

[cougar1985]

thanks a lot .looks like the one i will get.

 

[cougar1985]

bought the 1 inch predator today. im assuming when you put on the track that the arrow should be pointing foward when its on the top?in the direction of rotation.

 

[SNOWRULES]

yes arrow points in the direction of rotation
