Snow Checked a LTX-LE Racin Blue

[Shagnos]

^ No rubber hubcap for JT 4 wheel kits?

Didn't come with one.

Didn't come with one.

The 8.5 wheels were not made to use a cap. Only the 7.5 get caps. I tried to get them to add it to the wheels but cost to much for them to change the mold.

Congratulations to you guys ordering new SideWinders for next season. Hopefully you've got some other hobbies to keep you occupied during the next few month's while you wait for your new rides to arrive.

The J&T 4th wheel kit is a great addition to your sled as others have mentioned. Here's a pic of the kit on my 'Winder:

Todd...skis on the sled are SLP Mohawks. There's a lot of choices out there for better handling skis for this chassis. I did my research and couldn't be happier with the Mohawk's. They are a very well engineered ski and with a few adjustments handle awesome in all conditions with very little steering effort and have great floatation in deeper snow.

So the full 4 wheel kit for a RTX(not add on wheels) will allow for the rubber caps?

I want no part of any tri hub, and want the full axle/4 wheels ect.....got a pic or link to RTX kit? Price?

thanks
Dan

Any one gearing up?
Are the stock gears 24/50?
I had 21/41 in my 2015 XF9000 which wouldn't get me past 113gps, I would like to be in the mid 120's anyways.

Thanks

 

[ROCKERDAN]

22 top gear for me.....22/41 good for 130 or a tad more.

 

[Derek Turnbull]

Thanks. Maybe it was the tcat with the 24/50
Chain was still good with the 22 top gear?

havent been on for a while,ready to drop my $500 on sw ltx se ,been looking at specs of the 9000,the 137 shows 24/50 gearing,why would the Yamaha be using the smaller diameter gears,are they using that different of gearing because of the clutching? glad to see you still around rockerdan,my 06rtx just hit 17000 miles last week on my 2nd 8dn belt

I like the red 50th alot....but the blue sure will be alot easier to keep clean.

Having white plastic panels(not painted) right where knees ride, and around fuel cap ect, sure is gonna be a bitch to keep white! Heck the sled at the show alread looked Gray around the latches near fuel cap. And belt dust down low on left side is gonna be a pain in butt.

Almost makes me want to leave the ugly warning stickers on for first time in my life..lol

wow, you sure cant beat them apex on belt life...I still miss mine. Could hold that sled WOT as long as I wanted down our lakes and never have a worry.

The new SW is gonna be fun though.
