How to fix the racheting on the 3.5 pitch

[motocrazy2006]

Alright. I know there is an update from polaris. But who knows when it will show up.

My 21 khaos was terrible with ratcheting constantly tightening the track.

So what drivers do I need to get?

Thought there was a set from powder freaks that was an option. But unsure.

Will I need to cut rails? Anti stab?

Or do I just hold off and wait? First trip isn't till mid January, but like to possibly have the parts here for just incase.

have you touched bases with your dealer yet ?
they may already be available

 

[motocrazy2006]

Still nothing as of yet

i converted my 155 to a 165. i used ice age rails, cut tips. ice age anti-stab kit, and avid extrovert drivers

Powder freaks or avid extroverts will do the trick

I used Powderfreaks drivers and a MNTK antistab and was very happy. I was warned by many that used thinly built anti-stabs that they had failed and wrecked the track. Most commonly the outside wheels come off the cheap ones. It was intimidating at first but wa an easy job really. While you are doing it go for a big whel kit with 9" wheels in the rear. Spins easier and easier on the track.

Do you guys have any pictures of your set ups?

 

[madmax]

I have my drivers, track and anti stab sitting on shelf waiting to go on my 20khaos

We also went with Powderfreaks drivers and a MNTK antistab kit. You can see how precise the stock drivers were pressed on!!! Ugh!

Do not waste your winter waiting on parts from Polaris that may or may not ever show up. I made the mistake last year of waiting for Polaris to step up to the plate and take responsibility and I paid the price three times and hundreds of dollars for it.

Get any extroverts and an anistab and enjoy your winter. If you're not confident have your dealer do it, but its really not a hard job. I can have the driveshaft out in about 20 minutes now by myself. Its so easy I actually started carrying the tools to do it in the field. Thanks Polaris!

Biting the bullet... are the powder freaks worth the extra money vs Avid. What's the difference?

I like the Powderfreaks and have heard they ride smoother. I have not had Avid only heard reports of vibration. Could be model dependant.

Regarding vibration: The avids have slightly sharper edges that I'm convinced also chew up the windows of the track a little more, as well as vibrate. But that's an easy fix with a flapper wheel. Looks like some more material is removed out of the powderfreaks so probably lighter.

Pretty big price difference though. I defintely don't let either of the above keep me from buying avids which I've done on the two recent model polaris sleds I have.

Ordered the powder freaks.

Mntek anitstab which suppose to be back in stock next week. If don't happen. Have to look into iceage or another option

I think the choice should be made on where you are and the cost to get them. Canadians likely do better buying in Canada. US Americans likey in the USA. Shipping over the border is a huge burden.

I am having the same problem. Also having a track alignment issue do to the factory drivers being mis placed do to stock drivers not aligned properly

 

[Lobster Carl]

I have never had a sled come from the factory with the drivers centered correctly on the drive shaft.
It is pretty easy to fix though.

I just picked up a 2021 155 qd2 and the center driver is off to one side can you get is centered without pulling the shaft?
