Should I 136 ?

[Traildemon]

Thinking of extending the track on my 03 RX-1 to 136". Any pro's / con's ?
Who makes good rail / tunnel extensions ? Do I need to move the rear cooler line ? Mainly ride trails, but last season hooked up with a group that likes to ride off trail, this should help right? Will it hurt much on the tight / twisties ? Should improve off the line traction (121 pro action sucks even with ripsaw) will it hurt top end ? (must stay ahead of a buddy's ZR 9 ) Would love to put in 136 Expert X or M-10 but much to expensive !
thanks for any input

i would go 144" x 1.25" with tipped rail extensions. it will turn better than a 136", be better off trail, and top end should be the same as a 136" because the tracks weigh the same. you can even get a take off switchback 144" x 1.25" camoplast predator for $200 from snowest.

I went 136 and love it. I noticed slightly more push in the corners but it was very little, especially with a good set of aggressive skis. From a studded 1" 121 to an unstudded 136 Ripsaw I saw no loss on top end, but I did re-clutch after going 136.

I used tracks USA rails extensions and a Hartman tunnel extension, both very nice and no need to change the rear coolant crossover.

No question about it .... just do it! The ride is world's better than a 121". You will even be able to mash through moguls faster and smoother than a 121". I extended my Nytro after having experience with riding a Renegade. And after you get used to it, you won't even notice the difference in turning.

Definitely extend it!

I have a 136" warrior, and I am actually extending it out to 151" this fall....of course 100% of my riding in in 'da UP, and a lot of that is off trail.

I will have a used warrior stock 136" track (with studs) for sale shortly. The track has less than 1,500 miles on it (all UP). Let me know if you are interested.

yamma-yooper how much for the 136 studded

Several low milage warriors on the market. Maybe cheaper and easier to just get a 136" sled and sell your 03. just a thought

Not sure yet...but it will be very reasonable.

Are you going to be in Michigan this winter? Might be expensive to ship...

Note: the track is not off the sled yet, but should be before Dec 1.

 

[superbeast]

let me know as soon as you get a price , shipping should around 30-50

136

One more question.... Will it still fit in a 10 ' enclosed trailer ??

Yes, it will fit, but it will be very tight. dont forget to change your gearing to match the Warrior.

Either 136" or 144" would be fine. I like the 136" but would rather have a Predator style track vs. good used ripsaw ($250).

I used Tracks USA ext. ($90 - or check classifieds) with outstanding results. I went with them because they also extend the hyfax. I used MPI's Warrior update kit for the tunnel ext. ($199) and you will have to do some cutting, but nothing too major. I would also consider a rear cooler as well.

OR Buy an Attak.

Hey Yama_Yooper you still have your 136 track for sale?

I have a 03 rx1 mtn with 151x2 camo track....and I want to switch to a 136x2...I dont use my sled in the mountains, only on lakes and trails.

when you change from a 151 to a 136 you have to change everything or what do you have to change? anyone??


there is only 2400km on sled....

How about going to a 128? I saw the 128" Ice Ripper and it peaked my interest. Could you go to 128 without needing a tunnel extension??

 

[ski]

Yes you can, I saw a guy have a 128" on his apex with no extension ... you would have to look twice to tell it wasn't stock.
