- Ricko puts a 165" Ski-Doo track and new drivers on a 162 Arctic Cat Mountain cat. We take you through removing the skid and changing out the drivers in order to make this 3.5 track fit in the Cat. Rick thinks that Ski-Doo makes one of the best snowmobile tracks on the market for mountain riding and was interested to see if the 165 would fit. Should you clip the track? Will it roll over better? This video is a shorter version of the install but there's a longer version of about 25 minutes that shows more technical details. If you have questions for us about any of the procedures, make sure you watch this long video first:

Quality content. Entertaining dude. You guys need you own tv show
I love videos like this.
Artic cat baby!
That thing is gonna grab and go.
very impressive with your build work and very creative idea!
Hey thanks Jordan!
Doing 3.5 conversion to my 13 with a Camso 280 175 and using Alpha drivers on 13 shaft. Had a 174 280 but wanted the 3.5 pitch. Will try out soon.
3.5 setup hooks up so much better than the 3.0 and this is comparing same series tracks and only 1" length difference. Extra 1" between lugs gets better bite. Camso 280s are almost half price of Ski-Doo or Powerclaw tracks.
Never seen a track roll so free! Nice mod. Braap!!!
Nice shop time and mod to the Cat, hey and not a beer in sight. Hope you get to test it out soon. Cheers and stay safe
Truth: we both had to get back to work after shooting this. Otherwise...beers would have been very likely. I'll admit that the videos are way better sans beers though....LOL.
Appreciate all these videos, very helpful
Thanks for that Benny! Nice to get some positive vibes! Many more vids coming down the pipe so stay tuned.
Nice video Rick .... “Good stuff “ lol ... Jeremy
Laughed hard during that editing sequence about ADD. Lol. You guys should get some hats made.
Would you buy a hat?
We will do that and I'll send one to Fish Sticks!
@@DIGIT9 yep.100 percent. I'm in Prince George BC here. I'd represent. I'd buy

Most do like the longer videos
Thanks for tuning in , got more comin !
Great Vid!....What clutch weights do you guys like for the Cats? I’m thinking about trying a Speedwerx kit for my High Country (Suzuki) or going with some Dalton adjustables. I need to bring the revs down a bit.
I like the SSI weights from BD Extreme but they aint to reliable ! Good for one yr maybe ? Might try the belly busters ?
@@DIGIT9 Thanks...too many choices...lol.!
Hey could you make a video on track modding I'm assuming you had to trim the doo track down to 15 inches and the torque is 100lbs on the brake nut
ouch.. for us flat landers and low snow , freezing rain guys.. No wonder my buddies cat over heats. Not enough coolant. :(
The mountain Magic place says it is closed permanently ? Does he still make drivers like this or do you know somewhere else to go?
Powder freaks in Kelowna builds them !
What wrap is on the sled?
This guy is good🤟🤟🤟🤟
Classic spark plug cap 😂
I have a 2009 yamaha fx nytro x-tx can I use a 165" 2" lug track off a 2016 polaris assault. If so what do I need to make it work
Anything is possible , but I dont know much about Yamaha 4 strokers !
hey new to sleds here, we have a coolant leak on the bottom of the engine, so these things must be fine to lean on their side to work under them eh? literally clicked on your vid cause the pic is the sled on its side haha
might get a bit of fuel coming out breather hose but other than that , tip em !!
Isn't the doo track 16 inches wide and everything else is 15? Was there any clearance issues with the sides of the tunnel?
Now that I watched the video I see there weren't any clearance issues but this is a 16 wide track right?
I cut the track down to 14 7/8 “ !! Fits like a GLOVE !!
@@DIGIT9 How did you cut it? Bandsaw?
Very sharp knife !!
Any word on the sticker
Gonna try and set up a link so you can order the size you like !
I'm such a butthead! Sorry man we've been soooo busy. That big decal on the back door cost us $120 to get made. So that plus shipping.
@@DIGIT9 ok perfect looking forward to it
Eric, we finally got those trailer decals made up! We have them on www.digit9.ca
@@DIGIT9 oh perfect i am checking it out placing an order
Are you going to reclutch since now you're gearing down?
Bigger drivers means I geared up !!
Bigger drivers means I geared up !! Already had a bit extra power , might try different helix ?
I didn't even think about the pitch! Makes sense. But if you cut all the excess weight of the track is there a weight difference between that and the power claw? I think skidoo track is lighter already.
On another note, have you had any luck drilling out tracks? I know it was popular a while back. But now the argument is that it hinders floatation.
I added clips to the track so weight is about the same ! Powder Claw aint that light !
You're a candle in the darkness, want to be youtube friends?
you must not of had a cat tensioner fly apart on you yet.
Nope , I dont do the backflip thing !!
I can roll the track on all my sleds
No way it’s that easy
You took the best track ever out and put in the shittiest...
Why didn't you just replace that cat with a Ski-doo ? 😜
At the end of the day , they are all shit !
Howd you cut that thing down?
Very sharp knife !!
You might know but you can run a tki 1” offset axle and the 19 alpha wheels. Just did it on my viper. Super easy might help on the easy rotation even more!
I do know that , yes , it definitely would help !
