We rode yesterday, 4/30, NW Montana. It’s a great time of year for testing. We tested our Matryx drop and roll. Driveshaft relocate 1” down and 1” back. It’s currently snowing 🌨️, tomorrow might be another day for “testing” 😉

Looks like the end of April is it for me unless we get a decent dump (doubtful). I've just got to accept that I've become a snow snob. When conditions become less than desirable, the grin under my helmet just isn't as big.

Thats awesome...nothing really worth riding as far as powder goes here in utah, western uintas. So how will that driveshaft relocate affect the ride/performance of the sled?
We didn't touch the location of the suspension, only moved the driveshaft. The snow is hero conditions right now, a phazer could have gone everywhere we went. One thing that was noticed is how much easier it was for the track to roll. With an Inch larger in diameter drivers it freehweels effortlessly. The flattened approach angle on the track will make it get up on the snow better and the increased room in the front of the tunnel for 3.25'' tracks will be a lot more efficient. In stock configuration (6t 3.5) there is only about 3/8'' of an inch in the front of the tunnel creating a bottleneck for snow to be evacuated.

Still snowing here in MT :giggle:

4 of us rode on Wed.(5-1) in the Sierra's at LTS(North of Truckee, CA). Hero snow. Could go wherever you wanted. Good for doing a little L&C exploring. Conditions were sketchy below 7000 ft. Bluebird day and lunch is always good on the snow. Pic is a snow pit(4-5 ft. wall) in Tom's Meadow. Didn't look like anyone had launched into it.

What company are you with? I really want to follow your progress on this. I've been wondering why no one has made a D&R for the Polaris sleds to get a larger set of drivers in there.

We’ve had a really good results with this kit. This late season snow has really helped us with our testing. I’ve got some YouTube videos up and on social media.. I’ll try to put some more videos up on the development and install process.
