2 wheel kit

[Just Ducky]

whats the advantage of going to a two 8" wheel kit on the rear axle?

 

[Trax 2 Treadz]

Reduction in weight, less rolling resistance, easier to side hill with, are the main things.

Some say the extra lip room on the outside of the track throws more snow back up at your coolers. Not sure if this is valid or not as I haven't run mine this year yet. I just put a kit on mine over the summer.

That is the one thing I noticed. Maybe a little easier to lay over, maybe?. other than that it just looks bad azz.

I was wondering if anyone has used a two wheel kit and used the stock wheels. I dont think there would be much too it. If anyone has any pictures of this or knows where to get a kit to use the stock wheels let me know.

If you are going to go to the trouble and cost of "big wheels" Go with real BIG wheels.. 10.5 is the way to go.. And no nees to cut your stock rails... I think the stock wheels are already 7.75 in... 8 in. or even 9 in. not that much different.. Go BIG...

I did the MMP two 8" wheel axle conversion on my 440 when I stretched it to a 136". Looks great, not sure how it will perform because it has yet to snow. Only complaint I already have is the track tension assembly is a ***** to get to. When doing the conversion you have to move the units to the INSIDE of the rails......not easy to work with once in there. Here are a few pics.

We have been running these for many years.. Work well,, more track speed.

no performance difference of any kind in any conditions.....just looks cool. That's it, nothing else.....I like the Mountain Machine off-set axel kit with the 8 inch fabcraft wheels myself.

 

[Just Ducky]

do they make the rails weaker @ the rear?

I am running a 144" extended to a 151" will I need a bigger track to run 9" wheels or what set up will I need on my track?

 

[deboer]

an off set axle will work with the big wheels
what it does is move the center of your wheels forward more so you can run the same size track with bigger wheels
