f7ben Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 This is an interesting question than nobody has ever really pondered...... as follows Does increasing the height of a lug on a snowmobile change its effective final drive ratio I say yes it does !!!!

smokin george Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 It was on the former FS. I'm not an engineer and my opinion means nothing but I would have to say it might be a possibility only on ice or hard pack. In soft snow it shouldn't make a difference as it doesn't change the track length. Ok! You got that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
