1999 - 700 RMK (141" to 151") Completed

sledbunnyracing · 01-13-2008, 08:58 PM

I have just complete the 141" to 151" upgrade to my sons 700 RMK.

It was fairly easy, rail extension went in quickly, the drivers and track replacement went well and the tunnel extension was quite easy. We had it out over Christmas and were surprised how much better it got up on the snow.
Were out in Golden this weekend and will determine if we need to change the gearing.
On the last photo you can see how much longer the new track and extension are compared to the old set up. For the record, this sled started out in 1999 as a 136" x 2" track.
It's an upgrade I would recommend.

About how long did that take and roughly how much $$$$

sledbunnyracing · 01-13-2008, 09:12 PM

Used Track $400.00
Rail Extension $100.00
Tunnel Extension $150.00
LED Tail Light $40.00
Rivet Gun Rental and Steel Rivets $60.00
Misc parts $25.00

$775.00

It should take about one Saturday to complete if you have all your parts and are un-interupted.

So basically that means it would take me and my dad a saturday and a sunday cuz nothing ever goes right for us! and i guess a tunnel extension and a 151" track for 250 $ is a good deal? lol.

Rucky · 01-13-2008, 09:20 PM

Also...whats the situation on drivers and gearing and how is the power loss?...and were drop brackets needed?

You beat me to that one Summitric

sledbunnyracing · 01-13-2008, 11:12 PM

Yes, you got a good deal on parts...it took me a few datys as well because nothing ever goes as planned.
Yes, summitric lent me his wheels because they are slightly larger and for some reason my extensions required a larger wheel.
Your also correct abut the drop bracket, but that was done when the sled went from 136 to 141 along with moving the suspension back about 3".
As far as gearing goes, I haven't changed anything yet, I will address that after this next trip and once I find out how the RPM's have been effected.

hey to change a track do u need to take out the whole chain case?

sledbunnyracing · 01-13-2008, 11:15 PM

They say you don't but I tried on the 800 and it was too much of a pain. It only took about 1/2 an hour to get it out and it's a ton easier to move the jack shaft around then.

Hey Sledbunny, hope you're not looking for that sled to hard..... Ric paid me a Blue Polaris RMK for fixing the kids computer today....... you'll have to take that up with him.

cheers.

sledbunnyracing · 01-13-2008, 11:20 PM

Good on you. You'll really enjoy that sled now that the 151 track is in place.
