My 13 got 25 miles on it this weekend and shaft looks good
Now let's hope it can get another 5k on it and I can say the same POLARIS!!!!!!!

maybe the 2 that broke had 400 pound riders on them.
A high impact part glued together . If it were mine id change to a 2012 axle, Just matter of time and youll be towed out
OK ,I get a BAD response back from someone, This must be because your living in the dark, You will eventually have an issue, and Poo needs to address this, Its unacceptable and just because you put your $$ down dosnt change reality.A failing glued together Axle is Not Acceptable and the 2012 axle should fix her. Has Poo lost their mind trying to shave a few pounds and givin up a reliable component?
The new white panels look awesome...sweet sled. I bought the black but wish I had snowchecked white.
My driveshaft works fine too.
i hear polaris is now offering this in their 2013 pro rmk tool kit!
you damn right that white looks good! i love white toys. reminds me of a comment one of my buddies made in cooke city last year..... "i like my women like i like my underwear.....white and tight!"

Something tells me that Polaris is going to be running out of '12 drive shafts pretty quick if they actually fit in the '13's.
I get the feeling a bandaid fix will be Poo,s answer. I would look at a replacement if possible. See what Kelsey comes up with.sleds are Very finicky and the drive axle is one part that an owner shouldn't need to even worry about,
Kelsey,
First off... keep up the good work on helping us with our sleds!
If these are going to be a problem.. it will good for the consumer to have some relief with this.
Here is a photo of the 2011/12 drive shaft installed into a 2013 chassis with the Quickdrive system. Notice the new running board tabs on the tunnel that show it as a 2013 chassis.
This was the traveling Polaris Show chassis that you would/will see at any of the factory Polaris west coast Snow Show venues. These were built with the 2012 shafts because of limited availability of the new shafts during pre production when these "show" chassis were built.
In a direct conversation between me and one of the RMK engineering team leaders, I confirmed that this was indeed a "bolt in" drive shaft.
The question stemmed from me askin if a QuickDrive could be installed into a 2011/12 sled and what would be required and what could be reused.

Good to know.. My information, also from a Polaris rep, must be incorrect. thanks for the clarification
