i was gonna put a 2 wheel kit on my sled to make for easier sidehilling, but some people seem to think that sidehilling on a big track (162) with a 2 wheel kit will make the track very prone to jumping off the rails...any opinions or actual expirience in the subjuct?
2 wheel kit of not?

Do it Do it, it takes a bit of getting used too then you will love it.
do it, i like it on my 09 m8, but i noticed that when you do a wheelie of the top of a hill or something it liked to twist more than my friends 08 m8 sno pro without the two wheel kit but i think it's way better IMO
NO one bending axles or wheels? Thinking of it too, but I jump alot, and don't always land so gracefuly
so, there are no adverse effects so track position when putting side pressure on it when sidehilling? i just dont want problems 100km from the truck......
I would say if there was some problem with a 2 wheels the factory would not put them on a 162 or what ever. You do need a stronger rear axle with only two wheels, the first few guys to try 2 wheels found that out, all kits should have that figured out.

2010 M8 162 SnoPro, mine came stock with 2 wheel kit. So I would say...you bet get it man
Go with the HCR 4-wheel set up and you will have the best of both set ups.
I say no. I blew up my bdx kit twice in a few miles of riding on trail. Simple acceleration on a bump along the trail. Just my opinion
No problems here
I've only ran 2 wheel kit's on my 162" since the day I've had it and never had any problems. I like the mod, don't know many that don't. Just my $.02.
I have one available that's basically brand new if anyone wants to buy it. I can save you a few bucks. Just shoot me a PM.

ok, sounds like i should do it....really like the hcr 4 wheels kit idea. do u recommend modifying the existing wheels and shaft to fit, cause i probably can, or should i get a kit? someone mentioned needing stronger shafts.......
Been running 2 wheel kits for 3 years, no problems
Whatsoever, would recommend, buy the $20 bdkit very simple, there is a post on here from a few guys who cut off there stock center piece and tapped out the center, it costs them 0 dollars and maybe 1 HOUR TO DO

I had the BDX one last year and it snapped, ruined a good day and even more parts trying to get the sled out of the back country. its cheap and looks good, all of our group members are back to the 3 or 4 setup.
I built my own kit cut the factory shaft down and then drilled and tapped it out. It works great, I have never had an issue with mine and I do a bit of jumping.
Like everyone else has said if it didn't work then the factory wouldnt do it.

ok, next question....can i just take the 2 outside wheels off and run it like that without doing anything else to it? had it apart today and looks like it would work....might look kinda funny though.
