My 2011 VK Pro steers like beer truck, it goes in the direction it wants to, i have 6" carbide Shaper bars on the skis and it really dont help any over the stock carbides that are worthless. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this sled to turn when i want it to.....Thanks
 

Every wide track I've ever ridden has pushed in turns. My Professional is probably the least offensive of any wide track I've ridden, and that's a bunch. My stock carbides work great, as evidenced by the gouges in my driveway. If I'm running down a twisty creek that's making me follow a defined path I use throttle to help the steering. On the gas to lighten the skis, off the gas to load them and initiate or hold a turn.
 
When I studded my Pro it was almost impossible to steer, my buddy owns a marine garage and he gave me a set of Snowtrackers. They made all the difference. They look like those old bob skates you wore as a kid, but they have three blades on them and they do tear the hell out of a workshop floor etc. But on the ice and snow they help to balance out the "push" created by a wide studded track. They were simple and easy to install, just jacked the front end up and drill a hole for the front tang, then they install in the holes from the stock carbides. Try them you will like them.
