what do you guys think about just running 2 inside rear idlers?
verses the stock 3, or install the 4th wheel ?
trying to set this up for boondocking 70%, climbing 20% & trail 10%
thinking of getting the drop brackets from 2000srx
8 tooth drivers
gearing 19/38 68 link chain
 

i did this to my xt 700 with 136 extensions from tracks usa didnt notice any difference besides all the attention it gets, it looks different wich i like and no negatives yet. ill get some pics for you tomorow.

One down fall, if you toss the bearings or break a wheel with three you can take one off and make it home. No dice if that happens with two. There was discussion in Snowest mag last winter as to the advantages of the sled being able to sidehill better without the outside wheels. I considered it and went with three as I have lost a wheel before and didn't even realize till the end of the ride.
