Cooling differences between SBA and SKS 146?

Was just wondering, what are the differences in cooling on these two sleds?
Same cooler? Or do the SKS have a shorter one as is typical on mountain sleds?

Only difference is the front end . And spindles are shorter on Switchback . I really can't figure these two models out .. they need to stay with the Front Cooler Mountain sled with coilover suspension and a narrow front -- SKS .. and then the Torsion Spring Wide front Switchback . Take the Assault out that got forgotten in 2016 .. the rush switchback ruined the name also IMO.

Best of both worlds the Assault RMK with a 146 coilover and Front Cooler . If you build it we WILL buy ! Optional React front and SLS package as well as 155 track options only during Snowcheck

Other Recommendations..
SKS is a 155 2.25
Switchback 146 1.75

I'm kind of an odd ball, but the reason I went with the SBA over the RMK Assault or SKS is actually because I wanted the wider front end so it was better for spring-snow mogul bashing.

The IGX read skid soaks up bumps better than the semi-coupled RMK skid does IMO, so its more trail-friendly.

Doesn't mean you can't ride the SBA Assault off-trail, I've put quite a few miles on mine off-trail, but due to the wider front end and IGX uncoupled skid, its not going to be as good in deeper snow or sidehills as the SKS 155 or RMK 155 ....

Idk, I have two sleds, so for me it made more sense to go with the SBA over the SKS or anything else *shrug*

Same here. I have an 18 SBA that I just put a 1.6 cobra onto - awesome trail and bump sled. I also just got a 850 163 2.6" to replace my 16 SKS. I had the sks because of the extra cooling for on trail but since I now have a trail sled, I went with the rmk this time.
 
Thank you all.
Adequate cooling is a concern for some of the areas I am likely to ride here in Norway so I was wondering.

Do the SKS 146 and 155 share a similar cooling setup?
