Not sure if they changed the rear rims from the 2014 model but I recentlly just flipped the wheels with the valve stem in the inside. The rim center is offset. Now the rear wheels have the same width as the front. I'll see if I can get a before and after picture.

The Rhino is a nice looking quad. And I've thought of getting one but that swing arm looks weak to me. Its just tubing, but hey it may be stronger than it looks. I'll probably just keep the idea of putting a china motor in the TRX. Good info in this thread though, good reading.

Might not be a bad idea. I rode my neighbors 450 TRX and it's a monster. Not counting the mega-power difference, I loved the TRX suspension. The Rhino is a nice quad for the $$$, especially if you're using it for utility purposes....but man....it's like riding a ridged until the shocks wear out. Fortunately, that doesn't take too long. My buddy Swampy has the two Kandi 150 quads and those actually have some real suspension on them.

I've been looking at some other shocks for the Rhino but I usually never leave first gear around the house.

I got to take the Rhino out today prospecting. It made it up the big hill out of the creek .. Between the Mikuni clone and the sprockets it took it like it was nothing. Was towing a trailer with about 300lbs of gear.

Tickled I didn't have to use the winch this time.

Awesome news Darth! As much as I didn't want to spend that much on a couple sprockets, I think it's my next purchase.....with chain. It'll either be that or replace a clutch next season.

Well, just ordered myself an early Christmas present.
Both sprockets and a Unibear chain. Can't wait to get these installed.....especially with snow coming.

Shoot! I just now saw this! MizzouFan, you get it running right?
