I want to change the black idlers on my o5 f cat to green ones. Just wondering if i buy 8 inch ones will this damage the track or rear skid components when i put them in? Will they even go in? Do i just stay with the 7.128's if i don't have a offset axle?

Tell me what you guys think. I did the green ones in paint for a rough idea. What do you think looks/ will look better?

i think you would have to go to an offset axle to maintain proper geometry.
heres a pic of mine, Grip n rip axle 8" and PM wheels

Thanks F7SNOPRO01. In your opinion is it worth it to spend all that extra money for just a little less rolling resistance?

i have the first series of the grip n rip 4 wheel kit. Are they the ones that offer the offset axle for the 8 inch wheels as well. How about wheels, do they sell those as well, looking for some nice polished ones.

Not sure if the rolling resistance difference was worth it but i was going with a 4 wheel kit and figured i might as well go bigger and i love the look.

I got these wheels from ODS, but very limited qty. Pm Dan he may have more. Grip n rip sells the 8 inch plastic wheels.

Can someone tell me why you can't just loosen the track when you go from 7.1 to 8? :dunno:

 

[F7SNOPRO01]

the axle has to be offset so the tarck still rides along the same plane with the hyfax. if you put 8 inch wheels on a stock axle the track would sit lower away from the hyfax.

Would riding with the hifax like that be damaging to the rear axle or other skid components?

Yes, you'll probably bend a rail if you do that.
