I installed my Hygear torsion spring spacers today, and noticed that my front left wheel is warped/bent. Anyone else found any warped wheels?? Right side was fine, as were the rear wheels.

super slides

I just spoke with the parts guy at another dealership who has tried these slides and he says they aren't that great and didn't last for him. He and his brother both run short track Nytros and the best solution they have found is Phazer slides which supposedly are not as thick. He says his skid will roll across the shop floor with ease. Problem is you can't get them 144. He doesn't think the Phazer MTN ones are the same thickness.

x wheel kits from excellmotorsports nytro,apex,short and xtx models tested for 2 years might try them myself.

I just put the X wheels on my XTX tonight! I ordered the 8 wheel kit, but am having a problem with the front set of wheels inside the rails. Can you remove these wheels without removing the skid? I have the other 6 on, hopefully they work!! Well at least I can change the bearings now.

How much did they cost to get to Canada? Where did you put the 6 wheels before you got to changing the inner ones?

My dealer ordered them, he is going to stock them on a regular basis. I paid the suggested $285 for the 8 wheel kit. I changed out the 4 stock wheels, and installed 2 new ones inside the rails just behind the rear wheels. All I had to do was take out a bolt that sandwiched the rails and put the new wheels along with the supplied hardware (OEM wheel mount).

Looking for a little help here! I put the "X" wheels in last year, I have 2 new ones to switch out the 2 front wheels inside the rails, I have heard they can be changed without removing the skid, true? I really do not want to remove the skid if I don't have to.
