I was wondering what it would take to remove the outside wheels on the rear axle and move them to the inside and maybe take out one extra wheel. Can this be done or do you have to buy a kit of some sort. if you have any suggestions please let me know.. thanks

On my Rev Xp, I bought the 2-wheel kit from Holz Racing and 2 billet wheels from Mountain Addiction. It cost about $200 and less than 1 hour in the garage to do the job. I love the results.

You can also do it yourself by cutting the axel. Here is a tread that explains it. Im getting ready to do it next weekend.

I did mine the other day and it looks really good. Cut the axle and moved the track adjustment blocks to the inside and it looks just like the holz one only $75 cheaper!

Chaz, any pics? How long did it take you? Any specifics would be great. Is it just like what brokenbones4 did in the other thread? I am going to try something next weekend with mine.
