Large rear wheels?

[gtwitch]

has anyone put a large wheel kit on the MY 18 800 RMK 163?? is there any advantage to this? I notice that a 17 Skidoo 174 that rides with us is really the only sled that has no problems when backing out of a problem area in most snow conditions. That Skidoo has 10" rear wheels on it! I'm just trying to think outside the box here!

even without the big rear wheels I find the summits the best for backing up in loose snow in our group.

We had axys rmk, M8 and g4 summit last year.

Tipped up rails help when backing up, not bigger wheels.

I usually run 8" and will be running 9" this year.

A Polaris doesn't need to back up. Just grip it and rip it, turns on a dime!

The Doo backing up probably has more to do with the fact that it's a 174. I rode one of those for a while once. It just wanted to go straight and when I did get it stuck, it was STUCK. They can really dig a hole...

PolarWest did a comparison and found Axys backed up furthest in the powder. shocking I know. The cats will back up great if they get rid of the shovel-flap. dropped case mountain cats tho, not your buddy's 16... Ski-doo got rid of tip ups so maybe the newer ones will plow in the same.
