Cutting and clipping a snowmobile track.
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Here's a demo on how to cut an inch off the width of a snowmobile track. In this video we take a Ski-Doo track and put it on an Arctic Cat. We then put camoplast clips on every window of the track.
Here's a link to those clips: amzn.to/3fqT1AQ

Awesome to see a video from you. All of your videos are full of awesome information and know how. How about we give us a few more videos than last year? Lol. 😂
Glad to See you back ! Cheers from Montréal

Glad to see u back!! Braaaaaaaaaaap
Ole digit 9 back at it... Brraaaappp
I've been waiting my whole life for a digit 9 video lol
I use a table saw to cut my tracks. The blade would make your shop smell better than mine. The new Lynx tracks come 15” wide so that could save some people some cutting.
He’s back!
Welcome back buddy...
Was thinking about your vids the other day and have been missing some new content
Nice now we need snow
Wd-40 or any lube helps alot with cutting rubber
I had a brand new camso track that lost all clips with the first spin in the shop ... So, I get to learn about fully clipping a track, and how to apply them tight enough to not come off...
Where yea been dude ?! 👍
Why not just buy the lynx shedder track that is already 15 inch wide?

Track newbie here, I’ve always had tracks that have a 2.86 pitch and I’m thinking about ordering a new summit 154 which comes with a 3.5 pitch track, my understanding is the 3.5 is a lighter track due to fewer lugs, I’m curious as to how that will change the performance of the snowmobile, my newbie brain would lead me to believe more lugs = more better. Love the videos! Especially the ones that help me fix my broken snowmobiles!

Too many lugs , acts like a blender , chews the snow instead of packing it ,in front of lug ! Same concept as a Caterpillar track ! The 3.5 pitch tracks are lighter and have better traction !

Something to note, that tool can get the clip too tight. Just watch what your doing and stop before the clip cuts through the rubber. Just get em nice and snug
Question of the Month: 2004 Arctic Cat 800 EFI goes into limp mode @ 4500 rms... TSS has been deleted... what would cause it to go into limp mode / or bog? Bad Servo? Mageto? TPS? Top End? All of the above? Something else? 🤷♂️

I forget what you had to do to take up the extra length of the 165? Did you do bigger wheels or bigger drivers? Or was there just enough adjustment to get it tight
@mitchellandrew3318

Big wheel or set skid back is what most of us do. I've got skids I've moved back, sometimes forward. It's about getting the geometry for skid correct. But from what I can see he used a bigger driver. In that case sometimes you trim the front of skid and use a anti stab idlers. Many different ways to go about it. Numbers will change also if you drop and roll the case back. You don't have that problem with cats since the M7 as you can slip a 3" with ease since about 05. I know my 16 turbo viper my 2.6 fits with ease. So going that extra few inches the 9' idlers may take up the little extra slack.

still not 100% sure if i understand why you would cut it narrower. Is it a 16 inch track and needed to make it fit in a 15 inch tunnel?

If you can find one that involves a impact wrench , that is the best , hand held ones dont work that well ! Buy the expensive clips from camso , they are the best !
In regards to that track your using. How similar ist to the camoplast Epic 280?

You need some power tools bro, like an oscillating tool
I can do that on the stock track with it being that loose.

I watched your video because I like your content and I watched it all the way through silly algorithm would help you but that was hard to watch why cut the track that to me is stupid and even though I'm giving you shit you know as a content maker that the algorithm likes comments whether good or bad so keep up the videos but quit cutting your track
