BEST ICE SCRATCHERS

[grumpysanta]

I have just mounted a set of RSI,s to my rails with no drilling on my 2013 xtx nitro , simply remove the bolt that mounts the reinforce plate and bolt up scratchers and they is another whole 2 inches in front where the spring klips in . remember to use locktite or you will find them on the side of the trail ...

OVER THE TOP IS THE MAKE, MADE IN CANADA AND SOLD EVERY WHERE

These look and sound promising, but it does state "For 136 inch tracks and longer".

I also read they can be mounted to "some" skis so they might be worth a look?

I have never used icescratchers before ,but when using the rail mounted ones, what happens if you like to jump alot or come into corners really hard, wont the scratchers fold under the track when sliding around corners or when landing wont they bend??????

Bought a set of rail scratchers 3 years ago and never used them.No one uses them around here I guess there just not cool looking.

Anything BUT those cable ones that mount on the a-arms. What a waste of money those were.

Yep tell me about it! Yamaha should reimburse everyone who bought those.

i rode just shy of 300 miles this weekend with my scratchers down the whole time and didn;t burn sliders or wheels...the trails were hard as a rock....my buddies cat overheated a couple times and his track stuck to his sliders....when i was going to put my sled in garage, i went to lift my scratchers and i snapped one at right at the spring....otherwise a great weekend!

mine were spi or something, rail mount, but really dont believe it is worth doing anywhere but skis. made them fit, dont have any pics for a while. same idea as using the hay tine. work great and when worn, add a pick to the end and works even better. almost never need them, not for the kind of guy that want them down 24/7 and backs over them. I think cables are a joke and rail mounted torsions are too risky

Why are they risky?

seen and read too many with track damage, I never tried it, I like them where I can see them, also when turning they variate the spray

Will these scratchers fit on a nytro? Doesn't that look to be mounted back too far?
