Just wondering what you guys are running? I am looking to run 2 8" rears in the center with no outer wheels.
Mountain machine freedom axle kit w/WPS fabcraft style composite wheels. Worked for years now.
Do you have a picture?
Not without going out and taking one
I'll see if I can get one tomorrow.
Nice thanks Ryan B....

Big wheel kit
All I did was cut new spacers in the inside for the axle and moved the original wheels inside. You have the shaft sticking out on the sides.

I am just asking why? Why would you not run the outside wheels? I see alot of sleds with this option, I just want to know why?

just for weight and sidehilling plus the ease of breaking the fiberglass rods in the track. I'll pass.

Why does not having outside wheels make sidehilling easier? Weight?? These wheels are not very heavy at all. I carry more weight ,pop and water in the storage area. I have added the 4th wheel kit to all sleds, even the old Phazer. Al

Sidehilling
I don't know exactly why its apparently easier to sidehill or the weight saving, got that from the Cat shop. Nearly all sleds have 3 rear wheels and to take the 2 outsides off you still need to add one between the rails so you end up with one wheel plus shorter shaft and spacers for weight saving only. Land on a rear corner off a jump and see what happens. Another topic does anyone really feel the difference using 8" rear wheels, I can't see it being a noticable gain in performance.

I run the 8 inch wheels to take up some track slack with an off-set axle. 144 skid and 151 track meant I only had to setback just over an inch. Keeps the front from steering heavy.
