[dglionna]

hey i was wondering what do u guys prefeer a 1998 rmk 700 wedge chassis or a 1999-2000 rmk 700 gen 2 chassis.

from what i recall, ( i am probably wrong but what i was told) the 200 rmk floated better than the 98 rmk did. but honestly i didnt notice much difference in either of mine. felt the same, i did like the headlight better on the 2000 lol

I had both and I think the 98 was a better machine!My 99 was a moody thing.I don't know if the compensater was screwy but it ran crappy.Handling wise they were pretty close after I took the factory bars off the 99 and tossed them!The new ones did have better lighting though.

For those of you that dont know they are the same sled but with a different belly pan and hood.

But that belly pan difference makes a world of change in deep snow and drifts, from what ive heard the 2000 had better flotation.

The belly pan shouldnt make much difference if you have a wedge with the most amazing attack angle known to sledding.

I had a 98 XC700 that had been long tracked, V-Force Reeds, SLP Pipes, it was an awesome machine, still running today, wedge chassis, cut my teeth in the mountains on it, then went to a 2003 Pro-X, edge chassis, again long tracked, not much difference in handling, both were more wider in ski stance and handled differently than the Dragon I ride today, which is definitely better in the steep and deep. Pro-X is lots better on flatland, or trail riding, more stable,,

Your right! The only time your bellypan should be in the snow is when your parked having a beer.
