Grooves in primary clutch after 500 miles

why not just clip it, either fully or two on and one off?

Am I missing something?

Why are the SLP pads better than clips?

I didn't say they were better than clips, just way easier to install and cheaper. Drill a hole in the track, stick the pad in and screw on the nut. Less expensive, easier and just as effective IMHO.

So the SLP pads screw onto the inside of the track???? Does anyone have a picture of these pads installed Thanks...... I found a picture and more information on them Thanks........

jarmentrout, The 1st time it happened on my Warrior I had a ton of snow too, just like your pictures. I would have bet $100 I had chunks missing out of my drive belt, But nope. Installed anti wear pads and never again experianced it
I remember when I installed them, I hoisted up the rear of the sled and turned the track by hand as I installed the pads. Once I had enough installed to reach the area on front at the bend of the hyfax (that's where the most drag happens) I couldn't believe how much less effort was required to turn the track.

I am going to try those SLP track pads. My sled also feels just like yours, feels like a bad belt also. But have done a couple belts and makes only a slight difference. And other bonus is there will be less rolling resistance. Which I have always thought was a issue with 05 RS Venture's. Do you have to open the track windows, as I think it would be a good idea.

I've had these installed for 3 years now on my 05 Venture. I have never noticed this chugging people are experiencing but I put them on within weeks of buying the sled to reduce the Hyfax wear.

They look just like a stud without the pointy tip and they are shorter then the track lug height, but they install the same way only you place them in the hyfax area.
