bigger rear wheels...any real advantage or just looks?

[Kevin Garceau]

Im going to be swapping out the stock idler and rear wheels on the RTX for some billet ones. Is there any advantage to the larger rear wheels? Disadvantages?

Anyone had any issues with the billet wheels holding up on rough trails?

Larger wheels as said to be more efficient. It's easy to roll/bend the track around the larger wheels.

Honestly, I think it was the flavor of the month a year of two back. I have a M7 skid with 8 inch rear wheels and the track still travels around the wheels like it always did.
I'd look elsewhere for performance gains.

Larger rear wheels can cause clearance problems!
