Given all else being equal and taking into account no other variable, will increasing the length/depth of the lugs or cleats on a tracked vehicle such as a snowmobile cause a definable change in the vehicles final drive ratio. For the purpose of this question final drive ratio is to be defined as the distance the vehicle moves with one full rotation of the drive system input and not accounting for any variation in the drivetrain such as CVT etc. 

 

I am open to suggestions but I think the above about covers it.

    Ok...since you dont understand the wheel or coin concept.....imagine 2 rubberbands....one being slightly larger in circular diameter than the other one.  Now use a sharpie and mark each band.

  • lol you really think it matters?  We may as well be explaining quadrature amplitude modulation to a Victorian era hooker. Enjoy your easy money.

             The final drive does NOT take place at the driver. 

The track is the FINAL component of a snowmobile POWER TRAIN. 

Just like a TIRE is the final component of a Motor vehicle. 

WHY DON'T you guys want my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You saw how much I had in my fukken checking account, so why don't you stand up to me, and take that 20Gs? 

 

 

Inside of the track not the outside you fucking idiot.

I'm no engineer, but it appears s though you two are talking about two different things. @f7ben is talking about the final drive on a snowmobile and @Polaris 550 is talking about the lug heights effect on one turn of the track. The final drive takes pl;ace at the  driver, the track doesn't have a thing to do with it. Sorry uncle naughty, bipolarhooknosedfag is correct as far as final drive on a snowmobile.  Damn, I feel dirty for agreeing with Bhen.

That's exactly what I was saying...the larger diameter track with the longer lugs will rotate further than the 1 inch lug when the TRACK has rotated 1 full turn if marked from the outside. The secondary will have to turn slightly more on the 3 inch lug vs the 1 inch lug to complete the full 1 turn of track.

Yet there are still some saying thats incorrect. 

Its a continuous loop much like a tire....doesn't  matter if its round or elongated. ....the larger diameter goes further on 1 full rotation.....sheesh

You should probably avoid these thread being it took you forever to actually get it :lol:

It matters because it's not rotational movement, it's linear. 

Yes, a deeper lug track has a longer outer perimeter than a short lug track, but it doesn't matter because of the type of motion. Rotational vs linear.

Ugggh , here I thought you had it. Take an old clutch belt and put nails in it every inch or so. Then compresss it a bit, put a mark on the side of the belt, and move it down a bench. If you still can’t see what is going on, repeat it with the nails out. The track will go the same distance each time.

was the speed of the stud tip on the flat portion of the track vs going around the axle wheel brought up yet?

:lol:

It would be easier to do it first, without the nails. :ashamed:
