Going to a 1.75 track... a few questions

[blaster10]

Hey... going to buy a 1.75 inch backcountry track for my xtx and was wondering if anyone had one and what there thoughts were on and off the trail... if they weighed it before they put it on the sled... also wondering if anyone had much luck with the 146 ripsaw lite for the doo and if they were running doo extrovert drivers with it... let me know guys... gonna buy it right away.

I believe it was northerndoc on here who put a 146" Ripsaw Lite on his Nytro. Maybe he'll chime in & give you some feedback!

I put the 1.75 backcountry on my xtx and have had good luck so far.(600mile and no racheting) You do need to cut off the front cooler protectors, which can be time consuming. Any deep off trail stuff i think it is needed for sure, and on trail she hooks up hard. I don't know about any hard packed groomed trail running cause there aint none up here

The only down side i see is there is not much room for chunks of ice to pass between lugs and cooler, hope it never pokes a hole because some times it makes a big loud noise when you do a jump or hit a hump and a under tunnel piece breaks off and tries to pass through. Maybe this happens with 1.25 as well, i don't know because had track since first ride.
