Agreed, studs are too long for that application, and they will find out the hard way!

Was thinking the same thing the whole time watching the video. Time will tell!!!

Several of us are definitely worried about that thing long term. Especially the 900T guys that are gonna turn those things up. Wondering how long it'll be until there's a one piece conversion/retrofit setup...

​@@MunsonMotorsports For the Summits (assume but would have to verify on flat landers) you can install the older part number or fit a TKI brace kit apparently which looks to work on all G5's, Mountain Sledder Garage has a video about chain case issues which goes over which seems pretty reasonable.

@@Aspired329 I'm 99% sure the TKI kit does work on the flatland rigs, it's a great piece like everything they do! I'd still personally prefer a 1 piece shaft. Just dug into it the other day and am glad to see you can indeed run the 21/22 one piece shaft. Not sure where the demand for this 2piece unit came from but it's not anything anyone in my customer base wanted lol.

Nope! Must just be the camera/quality making it look a little goofy as it's a stock unmodified track aside from the studs

I could take a look for you next time the sled is here/in the shop. I checked my footage but don't have anything clear enough to grab numbers from. You could also use the Avid 9T extroverts, I've used both the intro and extrovert 9T 2.86p drivers from Avid with great results.

Thanks for the reply. I just got the part numbers yesterday! It's easier, and usually cheaper to get BRP parts in Canada than parts out of the US. The Avid parts are good quality for sure! @@MunsonMotorsports

@@peterdenouden4836 Glad to hear you found the numbers you needed! Are you getting just the drivers to retrofit onto an older one piece shaft?

That's correct. I am going to build up a separate shaft assembly and keep the OEM unit as well. It's kind of an experiment with my stock 1200 engine. @@MunsonMotorsports

@@peterdenouden4836 That's the way to do it! I've always bought a second shaft off ebay and had two setups. You'll like the 9T, the 1200 makes the torque to pull them up top, for average trail stuff I didn't see major gains in speed doing the big drivers on 2s applications, 4s gained for sure, but 2s it was more efficiency/fuel mileage that I noticed (even after an appropriate regear)

You're not alone, there are a lot of people out there having to change plans now! I'd like to know why the driver change was kept a secret for so long...

@@MunsonMotorsports yea I wish I had known for sure! I might go 1.5 track and stud that looks like I can prob squeeze by with it for now

I’m still hopeful I can fit the 1.75” Hurricane in with an 8 tooth driver…. Might have to remove the tunnel protectors also. We will know soon mines on a truck!

@@totheduals pretty sure with 8 tooth drivers a studded 1.75 would fit

@@totheduals It'll be close with the protectors but I think you'll be able to do it, however same as with these 1.64"ers, it'll be high speed braking and track tension that'll most likely be the problem. If my maths is right, the 9T driver has a diameter of 8.19", the 8T is 7.25", giving you a difference of .91". Divide that by two and you have .455" extra clearance from driver to protector (or tunnel if you remove them) going back to an 8T driver.

I wish, but that 9" wheel setup will be going in one of two Skidoo 900 turbo 4s sleds, customer just isn't sure which one yet!

I'd like to see the I grips on this sled it looks like you can put a lot of those in that track....

@@youareright5431 I absolutely love the iGrips, I don't run traditional studs in my personal stuff anymore so if this were my sled, it'd be on an iGrip'd 1.5 Storm!

They do indeed!

Mines been sitting at the dealer for 3 weeks in line to be built

@@sleddheadxp800r At least you know it's out of the factory and not wondering if it'll show up before snow flies!

Yeah Should be picking it up soon

Hahaha I knowwww. I got a quote for a Snap-On equivalent (actually have one in my car/race hauler) but couldn't justify the pricepoint at the time after just starting the business. I expected this HF unit to have blown out a drawer slider or caster by now, but it's actually holding up surprisingly well.

No where close to the same amount of bite.

@@ChaseLandMgmt tracks are all pretty long now , no more 121’s , standard is getting to be 137 , brake early , fast out , and it’s nice to have some slide ability , brake early anyway ! no oh shit moments , and you’ll still have a few , I know ! Braking is way better on ice , I prefer no studs , but I also brake early , and ride a 144

Tell me you have no idea what you’re talking without telling me you have no idea

@@TheJrschaefernot even comparable lol

I agree! Alit of guys mistake ice chisel's for regular studs the ice ripper's are awesome and the weight and the track durability and the safety of your tunnel easily is better than conventional studs!! Remember when there's snow studs don't do anything but add weight and possibility of catastrophic failure!!
