Paddle Tracks

[StrongArm]

I have an RTX coming, well, it's here but it's still in the crate. Anyways, I want to put a paddle track on it.

I've been working my way up in track size since 97, from a 1.5" on a 97 piped 700SX, 1.25" on a 01 Viper, to an 1.75" 05 Renagade 600 SDI.

Well, I want to go big on my RTX probably 2" or 2.25". Why so big? Well, I go out west each year and I love the manuverabilty of the short tracks and massive wheelies in powder. Plus I live in northern MN and on a regular snow year like last year we get enough snow so you don't have to worry about trail riding with paddles. And when you have a paddle it's hard to go back, or smaller.

Now with that in mind, what do you think I should go with? I know that with the 2" I will have to drop a driver tooth size, but will that cover the 2.25 as well? As well do think the anti-ratchet drivers would be beneficial for this application. I'm also looking to put a supercharger on it for next year and I wonder if I'll have a problem keeping the paddles on it.

Anyways thanks for any advice you guys have. Just dreaming of lots of snow here

You'll have to rip out the tunnel protectors as well, that'll give you the needed extra inch of clearance over the wheels from the 1.25 to a 2.25. You might have a hard time getting that to hold up even without a supercharger on anything hard. You will DEFINITELY be loosing traction (paddles will fold down and dump their snow). You would definitely be better off going with a longer track with shorter lugs.
