I need to replace the track on my 83 V-max. I saw one post here that said you can use a .75-.875. I plan to run studs. What size can I use? ALos does anyboyd have adecent used one for sale?
Thanks
Replacement Track for 83 Vmax
Re: Replacement Track for 83 Vmax
Studs no more than 3/16" above the highest rubber lug is a good rule of thumb for general trail riding. Personally, for stud clearance I would stick to the 3/4" track which already is a big improvement over the anemic .525" stock track.

Re: Replacement Track for 83 Vmax
Last year we put a .9" track on our 81 SRX. It fit fine with some clearance to spare. Not sure if the 83 Vmax has the same clearances, but it fit on the 81 perfectly.
It totally changed the characteristics of the sled. Its usable in powder now, and hooks up better off the line. It used to just spin the track, now it lifts the skis.

I also have a 1 in track, had to take the studs out inline with the coolers Hooks reasonably well now
Re: Replacement Track for 83 Vmax
3/4 lug track and 1" studs will work fine.
