heard a lot of great things about the Talon tracks, anybody on here run those, looking to put an 1.5 on my pro x, currently have a 1 3/8 cobra on it
 
i read somewhere the ripsaw was faster. don't get me wrong the cobra was great, just wondering if there is anything else out there

I have a ripsaw 2 on my 16switch good track but would put a cobra back on in a heartbeat
 
A few options I would choose if I had your sled .

Get a cobra and get it cut down to 14" wide . Put 3 eight inch idler wheels in the center . ( great for loose trail snow and some racing)

Get the Ripsaw2 1.2" lug and get it cut down to 14" wide. Put 3 eight inch idler wheels in center. ( good for hard pack and some loose snow)

Get the ripsaw2 1" lug and get cut down to 14" wide. Put 3 eight inch idler wheels in center ( good for hard pack trails ). Put a bigger driver on this combination.

I install a 1.25 ripsaw 2 on my doo rs 860 with 126 stud boy 1.50 power points. That track hooked nice on the hard pak, impressive hole shot ski lifts(waist high) with the right clutching. Didn't really notice a huge difference in the powder over the 1.75 (stock) sno-x track. I have cut a few tracks down before. Theres a good video on youtube of some yammi guys using a table saw. I used a skill saw,2x4 as a guide and quick clamps. Piece of cake, cut a 136 x16 down to a 136x 15.
 
You'll find that a Ripsaw will have the back end of your sled either to the left or right when the brakes are locked up which is not very safe. However the Cobra tracks straight when the brakes are locked up. The Cobra is great for off trail but probably not as fast as the Ripsaw. Decisions decisions decisions.

i have dans 9tooth high speed driveshaft.

are you adding more idler wheels ?

i had a ripsaw on my fusion and the hacksaw on my dragon. the ripsaw seems to be tougher in general, i ripped the thin rubber of the cobra

What I was trying to say was?
Only have back idler wheels on the inside of rails when cutting track to 14" wide

The bigger driver helps with more speed

what advantage does the 14" give? besides weight

For every pound less of rotating mass removed it's like removing 7 pounds from your sled.
 
maybe ill do it when i grab this new track
