Well done C3. I think you will be selling alot of these conversions. The Polaris demolition team is probably on their way to your shop right now. Hope you have the plans secured somewhere safe.

Are you seeing about the same weight loss Polaris is claiming? Somewhere in that 5-6 lb range? I assume everything a person would need is included in the kit. That is GREAT news. I will be ordering one from you and keeping my '12 because there is no way I can upgrade to a '13 for anything less than $3000 here in MN...

Are you seeing the "less effort" it takes to toss the sled around vs it with the chain case? nice clean setup. looks like a fast switch too!

I am doing an IQ and should have the prototype done in a couple of days.
We are only seeing 4 lb saving because we add the tensioner to allow easy gear changes but the same benefits as fare as acceleration and top speed.
Only 3 belts have broke out of 300 units and one of them was on and 450+ HP 1200 4 stroke turbo. Everyone is always worried about not having a brake if a belt breaks but belts do not break going down hill. The other belts broke under what was explained as normal riding conditions but I expect that the may have been damaged prior to installation. If the carbon belts are bent sharper than a 3" radius it will damage the carbon cords inside the belt.

Wow that is a nice trade in value! Dealer up in Northern Alberta told me the difference from my 2012 163" Orange Snow Check Pro with 300miles (mint) would be $4500.00 plus tax. Told him to stick the 13 up his azzz, I will keep my 12.
What about the jack shaft??

what the cost going to be for the kit and what a new belt going to cost. could you show more pics
my buddies are running these on their XPs this year seem to work good
a few rides ago my buddy wanted to see if his track was tight enough (he'd just adjusted it) so we laid it on its side and i started pulling on the track and i could'nt believe how easy the track would rotate i figured the tension had to be lose but it was pretty much spot on thats when i started thinking that this polaris belt drive hype might not be all hype
anyway just my experience

Hey c3 power sports are you going to do a full carbon pro chassis like the xp?
Or just a tunnel?
I might be interested in a carbon tunnel and belt drive.

His post says $950 regular price, but $875 for a limited time for SnoWesters.

About how long or how difficult is the installation?? Also curious about R_N_8's question, are you noticing it takes less effort to lay it over"? TX
C3 Carbon Chassis
We are just starting on the chassis tunnel project and will probably have tunnels and complete carbon chassis available.

I changed the Chain case oil @ 400 miles rideing friend did also..............2112 Pro's
Installation is easy (my nine year old could do it) and it takes about 45 min. It improves many aspects of the sled including taking less effort to lay over.
Joe, you are an exceptional one for doing that so many don't but what I was getting at. Is it's in our nature as sleders of the mountains to want more hp and less weight( performance) cuz thats why we like sledding, the thrill of speed and such . I was just saying maybe now that mother poo has given us a great sled why waste the money on something that 80% of riders won't be able to tell if it works. Add v-force reeds = $275.00 for a half sled length in 500 ft at sea level, spend $1000.00 for pipe and can for 14 hp on top end when only a few riders ride at full throttle more than 5% of the time. Just saying put some miles on what you got and when it's wore out get the new. 2 things I love to throw money at are my sled and my boat. IMO

Hi. Do you still have the outer bearing behind the brake rotor?
I think what you are referring to is the seal in the cover that sits behind the brake, is that correct? This is not there and the brake rotor actually flips around and goes on the opposite direction.
Sounds very tempting. What would this installation do to an extented warranty? Lets say your motor went boom!
I would think you could recover some of this cost of this kit by selling the chain, chain case, adjuster, and gears.
