[ChiefMn]

Just ordered 128" relocate from Robert at Star .I think I am going to go with the Ripsaw 2 .
Any one run this ?Will be doing mostly trail riding.

I also need to update my drivers.Looks like yamaha has extravert drivers on the newer sleds.I searched all over for skidoo drivers as recommended in faq only to find that seems to be old info.

I'd go with the Ice Attack or Ice Ripper for the trails. I ran the Ice attack with the 128" relocate and now run the 136" version with added rail/tunnel extensions. The sled's overall performance on the trail was better as a 128 but the 136 is much better in the deep snow. The pre studded track will hook up much better without being overly aggressive and really helps on those occasional ice patches. I picked up a new 2015 Viper with the Ripsaw II at the end of last season and one of the first things I missed was not having the pre studded track. Once you run one it's hard to go without.

One of my main reasons for doing this is because of the drivers.....By the end of last season I could barely go 65mph and had to get there slowly otherwise they would just spin.....The other main reason is because my track was starting to come apart.....I thought about 136 but never go off trail.....I bought a 2011 Vector and was pleasantly surprised to see it came with extravert drivers.....I got my drivers from Wahl bros......

I have star kit with ripsaw 2 and studs....love it and one of the best tracks i've owned....the 128 kit totally changes the sled for the best....I'm thinking of putting the heavier spring from ski-doo that Robert recommends

When I talked to Robert he didn't believe the BRP spring was ideal for a 128" relocate but it was better than running the stock spring. Because of that I contacted Hygear and had them setup a dual rate spring for my application. For me the relocate with the DR spring on a revalved stock shock was a great setup but unfortunately the shock body split and destroyed that setup or I'd still be running it.

Once I get the Star kit in my hot little hands I'm going with the ripsaw 2, skidoo spring,and Wahl Bros drivers.
