My Larson Racing 4 wheet kit arrived and I’m very impressed. It looks strong and very well machined. I really like how the axle is keyed into the outer hub. I’ll update this thread with install photos later when I install it.

Kit contents. Axle is 1” thick in middle. Four 8” wheels.

Yeah I wanted to try it out and I’m impressed. Unsure if it’s worth the extra $$ over the J&T Stealth kit though, which I was originally going to buy before I found the Larson kit. I actually prefer the solid oem wheels because they will be cheap to replace and readily available anywhere when the rubber tears. Also I worry about the possibility of chunks of ice or rocks getting inside the open spoke wheels, even though they look nicer. Interesting side note, Larson says the 7.5” for 129 and 8” for 137 is optimal and going bigger they noticed uneven wear pockets on the sliders. Dunno what size wheel Stealth kit you have but your slider wear looks great in that other new sidewinder thread.
 
Definitely worth the cost imo... Having the axle go through the rails alone is worth it. That's what was my deciding factor.

Yeah I read that too.....I will only say on my 129, the larger stealth wheel(7.5") has done zero harm to slide life, as a matter of fact i have never seen sliders with 1450 crappy snow miles on them, where they look like a new sled still....no wear at all that I can see, its crazy. But sure is nice to know I likely will never need to change sliders. This was all with inner idlers chunking off too!

I agree, that axle design is kick butt....and I like what he does with adjusters being moved outward, so much better setup. Pricey but worth it for sure.

Just read it again and I remembered it wrong, he said 7.125 (not 7.5) was optimal for 129. Well then maybe it is 8.4 for 137 that can cause wear pockets, but for sure the 7.5 are working great for you!
