I highly doubt it. We might be seeing a scrambler 700 4x4 in future though!

i see you have a explorer and a scrambler. have you tried the explorer wheels on the scrambler? i want to try it with mine to see if the larger tires would smooth out the front end roughness. let me know if it does----thanks, paul (sookeplumbing@shaw.ca)

No I haven't tried that yet although I have been thinking about I have however put scrambler tires on the back of the explorer and it seemed to help traction and handling.

Watch the tire ratio's you 4x4 guys. The Sc 4x4's are 23" fronts and 22" backs. If you use different ratio tires, you may end up regretting it.

When the Wolvorine came out it was a sweet quad now it is to slow, I would love to see someone recreate a true sport 4X4 the predator or raptor or something. Forget the racks and all the crap an under 500lb 4X4 monster is what I want.

I agree. I would DEFINATELY buy a LIGHT WEIGHT Sport 4x4. None of this Recreation/Utility bullsh*t. Get rid of the racks and all of the heavy parts, then put some double a-arm, long travel suspension on it.

It would be sweet to see a new frame for the Scrambler. If they lightened up the Scrambler, used a round tubed, more intelligently designed frame, I would be the first one on the waiting list. As long as Polaris drops the "heavier is better" concept, a new sport 4x4 would be awesome.

I really don't think that will even be possible. You have to remember the double a-arms with a suspension that connects at the lower arm and its "Pro" steering. That really leaves no room for the drive shaft up front. Sorry guys.

long travel suspension = steep drive shaft angles. but i would buy it if it came out!! i'd just write honda on the tank! lol a million times.
