I have a 2012 Summit X and I have done the T motion kit on it. This weekend while out riding I hit a rock on the rear of my track (by the new 2wheel kit bogey wheels) and both bogey wheel gave out and the bearings ripped right through the plastic leaving them both bent to the side. My brother in law has the 2013 Summit X and while looking at his rear bogey wheels they look much stronger and have a spacer that mine did not. When I go to replace the bogey wheels can I upgrade to the 2013 rear axle/bogey wheels?

Kit and 13X are the same

My 13X skid, has the same parts as the t-motion kit I'm installing on a buddies sled, including spacer.

Sounds like you either did not get all the parts installed or in the package , cause the T-motion kit comes with the new wheels , axle and spacers.

I have failed wheel bearings far from the truck and decided that 3 or 4
wheels depending on track are mandatory if you ride in those far from
the truck spots.
Did this to everything I ride.
Here's what I did to my 13XM

Nice! And people give me chit about my 3 wheel design!
I figure if I lose a bearing on the back axle I still have 2 wheels to limp back to the truck on... You could keep playing the rest of the day!!! :face-icon-small-win

Click to expand...

All 3 small aluminum spacers are 5/8"

The plastic spacers are going to be cut to size depending on the wheels you use. I highly recommend that you use the spacers or at least bearing savers from an XP.

My plastic spacers are cut to15/16". I am using the offset wheels from an XP with the flat side out. I decided to not put a center one back in as it would be very thin( maybe 1/2") but I still might.

OH... I use Honda bearings. They are a better bearing with exact fit and a few bucks cheaper. I included a pic of the part#

How about the Cat 2 wheel setup? Are the bearings the same ID? If not, is there a bearing that will work? That setup is stout, have installed several on Kmods, dont have any now to look at.
