Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with putting skies and tracks on a raptor (or any other sports quad)? Are there any kits available for a 700 raptor? And how well do they work?
If there is anything else I should know, please fill free to tell me.
Thanks for the help

 

I've seen front ski conversions but I've never seen a full rear wheel track conversion.....

Just toss on some good sand tires all around, you'll be amazed and what you can float through and over...... I saw a guy with a YFZ last year riding with a bunch of sleds, all he had was ITP sand paddles on the rear and some single blade tread ITPs up front. He said he can go almost anywhere his sled buddies go, although not quite as fast.........

The down side is that the sand tires get hammered in the cold and ice and only last one season....

 

The tracks aren't a good idea for a sport quad. I don't think they're a good idea for any quad really. They're heavy, expensive, take a lot of power to turn, lots of moving parts to wear out and break, and they take away your ability to kick the back end around when you want to.

You can stick with tires, and keep your sportiness without spending thousands on tracks, and will still be able to go almost everywhere, and faster than with the tracks. Maxxis makes the 4snow tires, AMS makes the Zipper, and there's a couple more less known ones out there with similar designs. They're designed less aggressively than sand tires, so when you get onto a hard surface you're not bouncing all over and killing your axle bearings, and they're also designed to increase in diameter while spinning, which will dig in and give you better traction, and help keep shifting to a minimum.

Skis for the front works great. You can pick up kits at www.diamondjcustoms.com for the skis, and there are also a few more sites that sell them.
