Hello, I have a question regarding my '99 SRX. I am getting conflicting information regarding tracks - will a 1-1/4" lug track rub with the stock 9 tooth drivers (no studs)? I want to keep the protectors on the front cooler.

Thanks,
 
If you are going to change the drivers. I would suggest installing a 1" lug track and then stud it. Really, I run everywhere my Son does with his 1 1/4 track. The larger lug slows you down and will also magnify the hyfax wear. This winter we replace the 9 tooth drivers with 8 tooth on the Viper. This is a great mod, simply buy New drivers and press them onto the drive shaft. Time consuming but worth it. Al

Even a 1" track will rub on the front HX protectors and requires trimming but not to the extent a 1.25" would. A 1" does not require 8 tooth drivers even with studs but does require running the track tension at spec.
 
yeah, i was planning on replacing the track with a new 1" one but found a deal I couldnt refuse on the 1-1/4" track.

What is the biggest track you can clear with 8 tooth drivers?

How much top end did you loose going from 9 tooth drivers down to 8 tooth drivers?
