Stop giving the buggy dork tricks to the golf cart drivers...j/k Carry on!
no room the cv would hit front out put shaft been there tried that no room. Turner axles are the biggest that I know of best set up we used on our 900 but you had to put the right cv grease in to make them last.i am not a mechanic by any means. i have never looked at a polaris axle other than seeing them broken and being replaced. but from memory, i think the broached area where the ball rides, is too deep for you to machine any ribs in the cup. i dont have one in hand, and have never held one in hand but going from what i have seen, i think the outer cup to the deepest part that is broached in for the roller bearing is likely only .200-.300 at most. i dont think the cups are very thick at all. if you look at the can-am axle the inner cup is quite large. i believe its a steel cup thats machined smooth, and an aluminum sleeve pressed over it. again, i havent held one in hand but i feel certain the inner race of the cup is steel.
the 930 CVs bolt to a flat faced hub though dont they? i have often wondered why someone doesnt machine something similar for the UTVs and run a much heavier and larger hub that will withstand the dumb stuff you guys put them thru. i think it would be rather easy if you think about it. since the XP1000 rear diff has a thru hole in the ring gear, when you pull both rear axles out you can see all the way thru the diff. machine a piece thats splined and has a flat faced hub that will accept the 930CV. have the two identical pieces machines so both fit in the diff and touch in the middle. have one end drilled and tapped, and the other end bored for a bolt to run thru. so you run a single bolt down the middle of the two bolting them to each other so they are locked in the ring gear. then you have the flat faced hubs outboard and your 930 CVs will bolt up. use 930 inner cups and the OEM polaris outers unless someone builds a specific outer hub that will also accept a larger outer axle shaft.
the one thing about the arctic cat and original maverick is the diameter of their outer axle stubs. when you side load the car you can break the end of the axle stub off, and the whole wheel and hub go rolling past you. can-am upgraded the XDS Turbo outer axle stubs increasing the diameter by 10mm. they have a new hub with larger bearing that accepts the +10mm larger axle stub. since this introduction i have not seen a single Mav Turbo lose a rear wheel. which was quite a common occurence in the original NA mavericks untill everyone started using Rockford outer cups. the arctic cats still have that problem. i am hoping they upgrade the axle diameter in the newer machines.

We really should move this technical talk to another thread as this is a tire size bitch thread!no room the cv would hit front out put shaft been there tried that no room.

Nikal - you are 100% correct!This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say; You will kill the class if you look at what is good for you today, and not what is good for the class as a whole tomorrow.
I know most if none of you were around when the manufactures were in class 8, 7 & 7s. Or when Ford was big time in the Stock truck classes in BITD. But you will repeat history if you follow the same path those classes did.
If we use that argument then only Polaris should be allowed to race. They give the racing community the most support out of the OEM's.33" would be great but im happy with the 32" and why should we not keep supporting the guys who have been supporting the UTV market.. and yep thats the Guys like ITP. lobo ect .. I know ITP has supported alot of racers in the last couple of yours so I like paying it forward ..
They also look heavy lol33" BFG's look rad.
