xp skid in a pro?

[QuintinG]

Something mentioned in another thread got my brain going. Is it possible to put an xp skid, with the t-motion upgrade kit, under a 2011-2013 pro rmk? Or is the skid wider because the track is wider and won't fit in the more narrow tunnel?

And I know if you throw enough money at it anything is possible but I'm curious if it would be fairly easy.

Intresting combo not sure if it would fit. Remember a crazy Rotaris 650 stroker with a Baker tunnel and skid that was a wicked combination of Doo and Poo.

A wise friend once told me anything is possible with a welder and a cutting torch. But yes it is wider and won't fit in the little bitty poo tunnel.

I think it could be done. I don't think the skid is any wider than the Pro's but the track is an inch wider. No?

The Pro tunnel must be narrower, there is only about a quarter inch clearance between the 15" track and tunnel sides. Would be an interesting mod for sure.

SUPER-ULTRA Flickable.

That would be off the flick-a-bility charts !

Then you could barrel roll all over the hill

I believe the rail spacing is the same but the front and rear arms would need to be narrowed to fit inside the tunnel.

We could call it... Operation "BURANTSMUSSEN"

 

[knee deep in it]

according to Rasmussen, it can be done but it is easier to just take a few lessons

Precisely. Also the sled may handle like crap as it would be located different in the frame

This might be a good idea for a savvy aftermarket skid company to make, Ski Doo's idea looks pretty simple? Might be very sucsessful, wonder how much BRP makes selling narrow ski kits and twisty skids to owners of earlier models? I heard they were priced quite reasonably for what you get?

 

[jaredszakacs]

ya they did a great job with price point thats forsure! gotta love being able to buy all new a-arms and shocks for under $600. Interesting mod forsure! I'm sure it can be done. may have to do some tweeking to tunnel or possibly go aftermarket tunnel but I think it would be pretty slick if you got it to work!

dont mess with the pro bro......if you want supreme T-Motion handling buy an XM... they already exist, no modification required. Extra power included.

Yah to bad it comes with all that extra girth.

It gives you somewhere to sit while you wait for the cat poo to ketchup.

 

[Kyle91rs]

Here's an idea... Take a cat motor, jam it into a pro chassis, use xm suspension, and a Yamaha snowflap (just so Yamaha doesn't feel left out not having anything else better to contribute....)

 

[maxwell]

can we keep the skidoo steering? i hate fighting with sleds

 

[Kyle91rs]

That will be left up to the customer to decide. We can either use the flat steering for guys that that know how to ride, and the xm steering for guys that have have turret syndrome and feel the need to scratch the bottoms of their feet every time ya turn. Since it'd be a mash up of all brands we can work with special guys like you maxwell to accommodate your unique riding style. Fisher price can donate a set of training wheels as well.... Hahahahaha jkjkjk

lmao!
