I spoke with the owner of the CPR Attack that I delivered last week. He is happy with everything to do with the kit, especially the power/throttle response he has. He doesn't think he has enough track/suspension though for the type of riding he does. Currently installed is a 1.5 x 136 Ripsaw. He told me that he likes to 'make his own trail' most of the time, and doesn't care about ever going over 100MPH. He still needs to have decent trail manners though as he rides some trail/ditches.
Up front are 9T extroverts, tunnel and heat exchanger protectors have been removed.
He also doesn't like the sound of the modded stock exhaust. He's used to big bore tripple piped Doo's. I'm thinking GP-1.
What would you suggest? Price isn't a concern.

I'm real happy with my set up. Here is mine....
136 Expert X with revalved shocks set back 4"
144X1.5 Camoplast Crossover pace 3 track
9T Extroverts
23/38 gearing
My approach angle is around 25 degrees. I get on top of the snow and stay there. The new angle is great.
The track hooks very well on the trail and even better in the deeper snow.
My gearing, I am going to try a 24/38 gearing as I seem to spin the track to much. I'm consistently spinning. With the stage I, I'm sure I have the hp to spin the taller gearing no problem. I also have a 25/38 gearing option. That is for more of a radar run gearing tho.
The only bad thing about the expert is that it holds snow. This is my only complaint.
My set up is the best of both worlds..IMO. I love it.

ZX-2 boiven 144' suspension with a 2" track will fix that thing. Gear down top tooth 1 or 2. Set it up like a 660' racer & it would be more fun for what he does.

I spoke with the customer again. He doesn't want to change the rear skid. I'm going to suggest we take it out to 144" and put in the biggest track that will fit. I know 2' will go with the 9T, but can I get 2 1/4 under there?
Any suggestions on a Cammo part #?
Who's got the rail extensions for me?

Just talked with Allen Ulmer, he's doing a similar project sled, giv'm a call.

How did you get ahold of him??! I left a message at the shop this a.m., but the message said closed for the day. I didn't want to bug Allen on his cell, figured he could probably use a day off...
He called me about something else and we got to BSing about the other stuff he's working on.

IMO, you shouldn't go more than 1.5 lug height. I have a 2" x 136" on my 700 and it is awsome in soft snow, but not so good on hardpack. You have to be gentle at trail speeds with the flipper. It's real easy to have the have the rear end come loose and try and pass the front. That's with 110HP. I imagine 250HP would be much worse.
-The tall lugs bend over resulting in less traction than a .9"
-The tall lugs make for poor slider life
-The tall lugs result in higher engine temps
-The tall lugs have lower durability
I ride 90% off trail and am happy with the performance of my track. However, around here, you can't avoid some hardpack snow whether it is a windblown field, packed ditch or groomed trail. Also, isn't a big bore tripple tripple guy going to want to stretch his legs out on a lake once in a while? Sustained high speed runs with a big track would make me nervous.

I'd have to agree with Yammerhead, we've seen the same things happen. Stretching to a 144 x 1.5-1.75 would probably be a better fit.
With that said a hard compound finger track will help with the bending lugs I would also advise putting on a set of scrapers that he could put down when he hit the trail that would help with the cooling, slider life & help keep the lugs from breaking off.
Going by what I've seen over 2" will not make it more than a few hundred miles without the lugs breaking off..
