  48bomber I think this setup would have Teflon on the areas where the wood meets the track. I can check with Alain Bosa @ AB Metals to find out for sure. Also note how the unit mounts to the machine. Just pop off the wheels & pop the sliders on. You will still have the stock suspension in place, working the same way.
   I can only give my thoughts about this, as I haven't rode in one yet.... Not quite sure but I think you can buy the wood frame as a kit. I'm checking it out now.

OT,
  Our snowmobile club had a John Deere tractor groomer with a sliderail with idler wheels along the rails.
 The bottom of the rail had a plastic compisite made to fit the machine . The system of sliders totally sucked in low snow conditions .The sliders would wear out between the idler wheels . and sliders would stick. The heaver machine did contribute to the problem , The Hus-ski does the same thing.
  I like the way the b12 has all wheels with no issues with slider sticking.
  The sliders probably work well in good snow all the time.
 Its difficult enough with the b12 skis to cross , and turn on any road  surface or ice without track sticking.

I know of a few guys would like an old skidoo elan style to get away from the slide rail suspension.

kpm:
I agree with Neil,the boogie wheels were hard to beat,you could drive right on gravel if need be and no worries...

hi guys the slides are made for deep snow they improve ur machine buy a100%.for example a steel body willmake a woody look bad in very deep snow.there are some places were we go its slides only because the rest get stuck. yes the ride is compremised i  have a pair like alain there a bit smoother.havent heard any sticking issues yet but made for deep snow the solution is to have 2 snows one on wheels on slides  !!!!!!!
