I have a buddy that has a 2011 hcr with stock track and I would like to help him out on getting a different track that won't leave him stuck so much. He is an awesome rider and can outride me most the time even with his crappy track 52" wide ski stance and Simmons skis and me on my polaris pro. He doesn't have much money to fix it up but I would like to buy parts for him if they are reasonable to see what he is fully capable of. We like to ride side hills in trees mostly. What's everyone's thoughts on good tracks that won't break the bank?

I've got the 80 duro 2.6" PC and its a great track for what you are looking for. I have never ridden the 3" tracks so I can't comment on those, but those are also going to come with a price.

Those simmons skis don't help either. They give you the widest stance you can get, edges do a lot of grabbing, and they add weight. Can you tell I'm not a fan?

Yes the Simmons skis have there place but I am going to help him get at least back to a stock width front end and some powder pro skis

X2. Whichever one of these two you can find the best deal on.

My 2 cents is the powerclaws finger column supports resist the folding over of the paddle tips, and they still flex for powder. It is also great for setup snow, the 2.6 is a good all around track imo. Wish the 3" version kept the short finger portions to the side like the 2.6 and 2.25 but ppl still swear by it.
