as the guys had said though only the rad would do any work because there would be no way for snow to get into the tunnel with this rear susp design. Racer X's used the cooler as a stressed member of the bulkhead, it was all one peice and very very light. Don't think you could ever hurt the...
bearing is a CS-205 if I remember right, its the same bearing as a 6205 with a tapered outer race. You can get them at any bearing supplier for around $15, from polaris they are more like $40. Edges are famous for losing bearings on the clutch side, lots of times when they go the shaft will pull...
can't see why they couldn't use a bulkhead cooler system like what Racer X had. They used a huge cooler as the bottom and back of the bulkhead. It seems to work as my roomates sled has had motors anywhere up to 250hp in it with no cooling issues.
skis in the air can be fun but from a purely performance standpoint a sled who's skis skim is going to work much better on the hill. The reason it turns out easier is also the same reason it'll be a handful to ride when you get into really steep going.
the brocken p-85s had to have had something wrong in the machining process when they re-tapered them for the doo crank stub. I've ran them on my 1200 watercraft based sled for two winters, 4500+miles @ 205hp and 140ft lbs torque with no issues ever. An RT motor shouldn't kill em any worse than...
kinda depends on what you have for hp. Big hp=m10 or m10 w2. Think the w2 starts around $2400. IMHO best ride of all. Keeps the skis super low, perfect hook up. But you'll need 200hp to get it to work.
EZ ride looks to work awesome for 150+hp, rides very very well too.
Never did like any of the...
and they are no where near 95% either. Trauma will kill you 50% of the time. Watch for terrain traps!
I once pulled my cord in spring snow conditions because I heard a loud waterfall sound when I turned out. Got to the bottom and figured out it was just the snow in my trench. man it was warm...
To h2snow, that first pic was in tumbler, it was sleddiot from snowest who set it off. I believe he was actually near the hotdog stand when he took that pic. So technically where he was when he took the pic was safe, there's a valley between him and that hill.
Its sad that this keeps happening...
posting pics the same as snowest?

there's my toys, too bad the snow was soo sticky that day, have to get some better ones once the avy threat dies a bit...
I hear you guys on the snowest deal, decided to come check this site out, Snowest was awesome around 03-04 and then it started to go down hill fast. Its pretty boring now and there really isn't that much good info over there anymore anyway. Seems like everyone is all bottled up and no longer...
New to snow and mud, been on snowest since 2003. Thought I'd come check this place out!
I live in wembley alberta, and I run cat for living. I ride a 2007 built polaris gen 2 lightweight with a 1200 watercraft motor in it. Chassis features a m-10 w2 skid, 162x 2.5, van amburg tunnel, boss...
