Today I machined what I think is the very first machined sheave by any one for the Viking, I can't be sure it has not been done but I don't think so.
The machined sheave on a Viking is going to benefit a Viking in two ways, lower lows for better take off especially with big tires and higher top speeds.
We are not going to get the normal average 10mph gain like on a Rhino something more like 5mph. Why? For the most part the sheave thate comes in a Viking is a grizzly 700 sheave so the roller weight track is already a little bit longer than the rhino track was. The sheave in a Viking is unique to the Viking, so you can not use a sheave from anything else and get the right result, there is a dimension difference that makes the difference.
I am hoping to test the sheave on the Viking tomorrow.
Also we already have a big tire clutch kit with greaseless weights and secondary spring on our site too.
Also am looking at getting vendor status here too.
