Didn't come with one.^ No rubber hubcap for JT 4 wheel kits?
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.Didn't come with one.

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.What ski is that you have? Looks good. I also have snow checked a LTX-LE in blue. Cant wait!

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

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

Knee pads!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
