pilot skis

[rx1 fern]

tried doing a search on pilot skis on an rx1 and couldnt find any pics of them installed.i want to see how they are installed .i have the zx mount and tried to put them on but it was too tight .do i have to put the weight of the sled on the skis so the bolt can go through and are you guys using the stock bolt to bolt the ski back on.i need some advice please and thanks.some pics would be nice also.

Tap the steel inserts out and put them in from the outside in. that is how I did it on my RX.

Pilot Skis on an RX Warrior

I have an 05 RX Warrior with studded track. I have always had trouble getting it to rail in the corners. I have adjusted the suspension to put as much weight forward as possible with improved but unsatisfactory success. The sled has 8" woodys doolies for carbides. I am looking to put pilot skis with outside carbides to help with turning in the corners. Anyone had a similar experience? Looking for any suggestions.

pilots work good. run a 6 in. in the middle and a 4 in outside
