I recently bought my son a 2000 VMax 500 and it came with USI SS Railer skis. I am sure these are great performance skis, but for a 10 year old it makes things quite difficult to steer. I was thinking about putting a ski from an RX / RS, but I was not sure if they would fit. Does anyone have experience with this chassis and those updated skis?

The reason I am thinking that ski is because I would put SnowTrackers on them. I have them on every other sled I own and they work great.

Any thoughts or assistance you can provide is appreciated.

Will bolt on but it will be 1.5” lower due to not having a riser spot on the ski.
 
x2 on what MrSled said. i did it on a sx500r for more flotation on the front. sled handled like slot car in the trails.

if you want to keep the front at stock height, look for a set of sr viper or sidewinder skis as they are taller than the sx viper/rx 1/vector stock skis. the tuners work on that sled pretty dang good as i put the set that came on my 16 xtx onto a 97 sx 700 and loved them on that sled.
 
Can also add Viper spindles and bushing like I did on my sons sled.
