Here is a bit of info for guys with 141xtx and want to go 144.

Just finished working on a xtx. Guy wanted to run a 144 track with 2.52 drivers for more selection of tracks
I went with 10 tooth 2.52 pitch avid drivers(around 500$ Canadian) and it leaves about 1 1/2 " of adjustment after tightening track.

If you have a 2017 or 18 you will need to replace the adjuster bolts with a allen head drivers studs
part# 8jp ra194 30.

Great info.
Any side profile pics of how track fits in tunnel and snow flap area?
What track did this person decide to use?
I planned and prepared to change to a 144" track when my sled was new but I ended up liking the Back Country 1.75" 141" track so much that I have not done the 144" conversion...yet.

This can be done without a tunnel extension?

Sorry he pick it up today I forgot to take pics..
Not really much difference maybe 1 inch with
10 tooth driver.
He went with camso ice cobra 1.6 with studs at the end of lugs.

Yes no extension just 10 tooth driver and longer adjusting bolts (2017 /2018).

I did the same thing. Wanted more traction so went to a challenger 144 cut down to 1.5 and installed 2.52 10 tooth drivers.
Only modification was on the rails tips. It may depend on your suspension set-up.
This is the best mod I did to my 141.

Great info! Opens up for many track options now.

Any idea if this would work on a 2017 Viper XTX 141" ? I too would love an Ice Ripper track...

Sure would. Same chassis.

Was there any changes to the gearing ratio?

 

[yamamarc]

No he stayed with 21/41

yamamarc:

So far I plan on staying with the Back Country 1.74 x 141 that came on my sled but I am curious to which 144" track people were installing on their 998s

Hey Bob this guy put a a ice cobra 1.6! Not a fan of this track seen many with torn lugs.
I think he originally wanted the 1.5 cross-country track (2.52) but I was out of stock at the time


Availability of popular tracks the last 2 years have been slim

Depending on what you want to do:
Herw is what I actually run, the Challenger 2" cut down to 1.6 because I use to go off trail.
If I was going for speed I would choose the Cobra 1.375 in two ply with studs.

? for Marc, does the clearance in the tunnel change much with the 10T? Just curious if it effects stud length options?
