Default Tricked Toys Wheels

I purchased a set of rear idler wheels from tricked toys for my 2009 Summit X back in 2009. Super looking product out of the box and very well designed. However just this season one the supposedly sealed bearings failed and destroyed the inside of the wheel. I have contacted them asking about repair but have yet to recieve a reply. Their website states that they will warranty the wheel from being bent but not the bearings!! What crap! This issue is still in work with them and I will update this post if they help in making things right. Sad to say that all my friends who kept their wheels stock are out riding this weekend on STOCK bearings!

Well it is now the middle of June and Tricked Toys never made it right. No offer of a discount, no effort to work out a repair. What happen to the days of people standing behind their product? Beware Alaska Snowmachiners of this website and product line!

are you being pro active or just waiting for a check? i would stay on them call every week if its that big of a deal. But how do they know you installed them correctly? I'm on your side, I just know to well how warranty works.

sorry about your deal but if all it took was a 15 min fix to put the stock axle and wheels back in to go riding that would be a no brainer..Thats why you always keep your stock chit, so when the bling fails the pow still gets shredded.

just another unsidehillable,non functional gas gauge, warmers work, new top end at 837 miles with a conveyor belt track.

2007 rev summit x 800r 159 stretched a little. slp pipe and can, team secondary, Roosterbuilt clutching of course. The Cadillac of ski-doo.

Crazy as a squirrel, nutty in the brain.

No. I just purchased the wheels with the bearings installed. I did not install a new axle or wheel relocation kit.
