Anti-stab

[Moravec]

so I ordered the anti stab kit not that I do a great deal of off of trail riding but I liked the idea of having another set of wheels, the kit that I have goes at the very end of the rails, I know that is where it should go but do you think I can put them in place of the limiter strap bar? It would put the wheels closer to the bend on the rail to also help with slider wear.

I just installed an anti-stab axle on the very tips of the rails with 2 wheels in the middle..... Had an axle from an aftermarket asphalt suspension, works good

You shouldn't remove that bar as your limiter straps are there to hel your shock and possibly keep the suspension from damaging components.

Look for a wheel kit that will mount on the inside of the bend to save your hyfax....you will be much happier I think.

In 20 years of snowmobiling I've never seen an anti stab kit or seen any reason to install one. What's the purpose of these two extra wheels up front? Just so you can run your track loose?

I've never installed an anti-stab kit on any of my sleds before this project either Yamacat21. Just did it to my 153" setup this weekend. The wheels are way up front mounted on an axle to keep the track from getting stabbed by the rails. I can run my track looser now but probably won't.

Plus, the rails I purchased used from a 2013 Cat used an anti-stab kit so I used it also.

With a coupled skid I seriously doubt there is a need. On the longer sleds with the uncoupled skid the rear arm can compress independently of the front arm. so it can do this / in exaggerated terms versus this _ with only several degrees of variation.

Picture riding a monster wheelie where all the weight is on the rear axle and none on the front. The rear arm compresses/squats and the front is fully extended.

Take this up one more level and air out on a jump nose high power where you land on the rear of the skid under power. That is my vision of what could cause a stab. The wheels should also help reduce friction in this situation.

I thought this too until I saw a pic of a Cat stab a track from hitting a stump under the snow just right. Now, that being said the chances of stabbing a short track are small but on this chassis I will be running anti-stab on both of our long tracks. Peace of mind for 80 bucks is a no brainer for me....just my opinion though.

which is the best anti stab kit to get for the XTX ?

Use a BDX kit or the Cat kit which I think is BDX. Same thing. Just make sure you get a 2 wheel antistab and not one of the 4 wheel kits, or else you may find the outside 2 missing quickly.

I am not so worried about stabbing the track but when I see some pictures of what can happen I thought for sixty bucks it was a good piece off mind, my original question was do you think I can put it where there the limiter straps are, I know that the straps are very important. In my opinion the bar that comes with the stab kit by BDX is stronger than stock bar so I don't think I am going to hurt anything

Anti stab needs to be on the end of the rail to work.
