The M10 has to be for a Cat! The 2" wont fit without a bunch of mods! Rolled chain case, smaller drivers and problely ice scratchers to keep it from over heating!

so why is the m10 sold as univeral kit? and couldnt i notch my track out to make it work i believe the powder special head a 2 inch track. I didnt know about the drivers but thats pretty easy to change.

When ordered new, they had a specific mounting kit for the brand.

a 2" 121 track? seems kind of pointless... There is no point in that much lug when you don't have the floatation to match, you will just dig a trench straight down.

(not to mention the speed/weight penalty, and trying to keep the slides from burning down.)

yea i bought everything for 400 bucks i ride in mainly wisconsin whats the biggest lug i can run on the stock suspension and also couldnt i frabricate a mounting kit for the m10 have done alot to sleds over the years i so a mounting kit shouldnt be verry hard to do

He can always trim the lugs down too.

Alot of people dont like trimming lugs because they are scared of damaging the track ( which can happen but prob. Wont) check out cutting lugs yamadad way in how to's

okay so if i trimmed the track to a 1.5 used my current cat set up and current drivers

**kccats** · 12-20-2012, 04:33 PM

Maybe? I would say that 1.5 is as tall as I'd go!

bigblockbryan · 12-20-2012, 09:29 PM

so with the 10 suspension know whats there hardware kit they have theres no pics there pretty crafty i will hand them.That from what i read it seems like you grind off the front brackets in the tunnel mount the those alummium bars in there couple extra holes in the tunnel im really not scared of making a frankenstein sled. I build muscle cars so i like torches grinders welders tell me i cant do somthing i work hard at doing it sometimes its a total waste but hey sometimes its fun doing it too.

**kccats** · 12-21-2012, 05:56 AM

I hear that! I have a Frankensled! I enjpy the chalenge of Fab work! To my understanding the Alum brackets from front to rear need to stay and simply go inside the tunnel?

bigblockbryan · 12-22-2012, 10:20 AM

do you think i will have to beef the tunnel up at all i am thinking so the paddle tracks gonna be a 1.5 with the m10 i think its gonna be quites the beast when its done

**kccats** · 12-22-2012, 06:28 PM

Nope the ZR tunnel is fairly stif, compared to like the F series.
