I didn't mean to quote you sorry - admittingly the numbers (jackshaft length, clutch sheave dia) were not factual numbers I used round numbers for the sake of comparison and discussion however the angles and everything from the actual cad of the chain case where the rotation was set.

but theres no misalginment or side loading of the secondary clutch that would cause that according to the internet...

Matthew is a smart guy , he was one of the main mechanics for the former woodies team and does some vintage racing of his own. This will be a positive thing for those still wanting the Fett stuff to have someone knowledgeable continuing on with the brand.

cattleass pooplaris who gives a shit... I'm trying to get sleds sold so I can pickup another...

already been done before... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUhhDeIvFA

idk if I'm the right guy to make a thread for 25/26 but can even though I'm on the outside looking in now.

Now that the Srx is almost done maybe I should jig it up and do a video measuring it and not just doing it in cad. If everyone is running the wrong helix why wasnt the correct helix put in from the factory?

Did Bruce Gaspardi sign off on you using those emojis?

Did you consult Bruce Gaspardi for this response?

Did you ask Bruce this when you came up for air ?

but Bruce Gaspardi sr ...

Fake news , local expert said cat isnt participating...

I literally said prior to the catalyst meaning when Herf and everyone else were dominating lake races on the procross they were using TKI belt drives in mod class.

You set the poly chain at .250 of play , and once its warm its got .1875" of play. The back of the poly chain is ptfe coated for lubrication (the blue on the back) They have not been legal in snocross since no one makes a oem belt drive in a snocross sled. Mike just got the slipper clutch approved in 2024 before cat shut down racing. It is coming. If they were slower accelerating - why does every lake xc race that herf and the rest of team arctic prior to the catalyst run belt drives on?

As someone that converted a chain drive sled to a belt drive I can tell you with 100% certainty It makes the sled drastically faster in acceleration. Your top speed will be determined as always by your gear ratio - youll just get there a hell of alot faster and easier with the belt drive. Reduction of rotational mass (aluminum pulleys and a gates polychain carbon fiber belt) doesnt suck up the horsepower that a conventional drive chain a sprockets does. Cats main problem with the catalyst is an alignment problem. not a final drive belt problem. Using a rubber belt reduced spike loads for the morons that cannot get off the gas if the sled went in the air but it also has its short comings in stretch where the gates polychain (as seen on the hypersled post) actually tightens up as it warms up.
