Need help with track decision on turbo sled

[BlueByYou2000]

Most of my racing happens on lakes or fields with hardpack, loose, or whatever kind of snow. The 121x14x1 track just aint getting it done. I would like to stretch to 136 and put the best possible track I can on it for traction in all different snow conditions. I am leaning towards the 1.352 Cobra. Anyone have any real world input here? Thanks

I've only put about 100 miles on the Cobra track, but so far I would say it hooks much better than the Ripsaw - especially in softer snow. Can't say I noticed much loss in top end either.

This was with a 128" x 15" x 1.375 Cobra.

I'm looking at the 136" cobra as well for next season. The 136" x 1.25" RipSaw is shot after 4000 miles.

The Cobra has soft lugs & I think a turbo would destroy that track in a short time for racing. I had a 136 free ride on my 1st turbo sled & it worked very well for dragging on snow. i will be installing the 121 freeride on my newest turbo sled. I just like these tracks for drag racing on snow on a higher hp sled. The lugs are pretty hard & durable & have a very good bite even tho they are only 14 wide. I have a cobra on my nytro & it works very well but a freeride on the same sled had a better holeshot.

I have the 136" Cobra and its the best track ever, but after 1000 miles I am out of adjustment. She likes to stretch with the boost.

136 Cobra

Hows the top end with the 136 cobra, were you running a short track previously?

Overall 1" six pitch Preditor worked well for most conditions but not as good for hooking up under a broader range of conditions as the 1.25" six pitch Preditor.

1" is better for draging on the ice and for handling on the trails, high speeds.

1.25" is better for hookup under all general conditions, but harder to steer on the trails. 1.25" also caused some exaust and Turbo PT tube damage under the tunnel.

208 studs in both tracks. Had to drop my skid 3/4" to clear balloning of 1.25" track at high speeds(A lot more rotating mass).

Durability of both tracks has been excelent for high miles. Have put on about 5000 miles with the 1" and 7000 miles with the 1.25"

Hope this helps

I would be in for one of them.

Even a 136"x1"x13.5"
