kimpex arrow skis and carbides help?

[livinloud]

ok guys so i have been having some problems turning at slow speeds like when i try to do a u-turn, i have to do a 3point turn unlike my fellow Skidooers are able to pull one on the trail. so i turned the sled on to its side and had a look at the carbides and there is onle 1 inch of the actually v shaped carbide left on one of my skis. i have kimpex arrow skis dual carbide. i am wondering what type of carbide should i get? first off what kind do i need for the kimpex arrow skis, i dont just get yamaha rx-1 carbides cuz they are aftermarket skis right. also what size should i get i have herd about ppl putting 6inch on the inside 8inch on the outside. whats my best bet to do i mainly do agressive trail riding and i am running 96studs on my 121 rx1. it does push throught the corners but only if i get lazy and dont lean with my turns.
thanks for the input

I've got 4 runners with 6 inch carbides, I don't think anymore than that is needed.

You can buy Skidoo brand runners at the Dealer, just ask for those designed for the Precision skis.

Through Royal Distributing, you can order "Jagged Edge" carbides designed specifically for the Arrows, or you can go with Studboy Shapers or Woody's. To order aftermarket runners, cross reference the 04/05 Skidoo Elite snowmobile, as they have the Precision skis.

ok cool. i am proabably going to go with the least expensive ones i can find at royal i am super low on funds right now. whats the advantage of going with 4,6,8,10 inch carbides?

Don't cheap out too much, generally the shorter the carbide, the less bite. Also, many of the models with less carbide length use a 90 degree square carbide versus the usual 60 degree diamond shaped carbide. 90 degree square carbide offer less bite as it is less sharp and usually it is smaller too.
