The sled I have is a 1995 Ski-Doo MXZ 440 LC. I have to replace the carbides on the skis. Instead of purchasing new carbides, I was thinking about buying someones plastic skis off off of their 1997-2001 MXZ sled. I was looking on ebay, and they appear to be selling for $100 for a pair of skies with decent carbides. The other thing is that my steal skis are getting a little rusty, so I thought that may clean it up. Also along with the fact that people say they like the feel of the plastic skis more.
Questions I have:
1. Do the newer Ski-Doo MXZ plastic skis fit on my sled? My spindle doesn't appear to be as wide as they newer ones. One ebay person told me that these skis spindles are 2 & 7/8 wide, but my moving some bushings, you could get 3 & 1/8. Mine look to be closer to that 2 inch range. Is it just a matter of having or adding the correct bushings, or will they just fit right from the start? Here is the eBay item I'm looking at: (2451422867)
2. What are your suggestions, would you spend $25 to $50 on new carbides for my steal skis? Or would you go to a newer plastic set like this for $100.
