That is why being a mod shop is a sweet gig - problems are calling 'tuning' or 'dialling in'. I love it.

Took the sled to quest in Sicamous on Dec 13, was very impressed with the performance. Very easy to get around in the deep powder and it climbs anything, scared my self a few times, but had a big grin all day :d:d. Thanks to Dave Forsyth and Darren at Powderlites in Sicamous for all there hard work on the sled to have it ready. Off to Revy today.

Yes, quite a few will. the timbersled will. But why not stick with the best.:d

I just bought my first 4 stroke. A nitro. Stage two mc express. timbersled front and rear. Evo floats. 10 gallon tank. Adjustable bar risers. Awesome tunnel extension from chad at riverside. Looks like i changed out the hole tunnel. Put a boost smart on it and at 12 lbs shes a ton of fun. Been on the hill 7 days alreadt this year and runs great. I went with 15 wide powerclaw track. This track hooks awesome. The timbersled skid is actually nice on the trail. i can rip through the woops. Just have to drop the rear shock down for the trail and pump it up to do big climbs. I rode cats all my life and love this sled. its a bit of a hand full busting through the trees but with the power i can pretty much stop and go wherever. i did crank it to 16 lbs and ran a few times up this one hill. Still had enough fuel but it turned into a angry hill shreder with a way different sound then at 12 lbs. I second guessed the skid and almost ordered the m 10 but i ahve to admit i am happy. WHen it gets deep and steep and you really slow down thats when she wants to stand up. i think in the spring with the higher ground speed it will be good. my two cents

Took the sled to McBride and had a blast. It goes everywhere, and climbs better than a billy goat. You can stop going up a hill then take off again. That 162 x 16 is a slick track to. Its a total rush to drive and it does not feel heavy when your riding at all. When climbing a hill your ski's are in the air and its actually very easy to turn on a dime. Here are a few riding pics

what do you think of the skis vs the stock ones? I know you have had these on from day one but im pretty sure you rode some nytros last year.

I am about to buy a set myself and would appreciate any feedback.

Im not sure there always in the air.:d:d












Actually I like them, they give you alot of control and extra flotation where you may need it in the trees and all.

I was driving Ron's sled and found the "wide" skis worked extremely well in the powder (when they touched) however they take a little getting used to when making a tight turn on hard pack...a bit tippy.
Because of the front end weight I can't imagine running anything else though.

I have added T-Nytro's bulkhead stiffner bracket in with this. I removed the complete front bulkhead and suspension and had "Lost" weld the braces in, thanks Albert. Then reinstalled. For the Turbo intake I did some custom modifications.

I added an aftermarket fuel filter as well.

Remaining items -

1 - Install Front skid plate
2 - Condence and clean up wiring
3 - Relay for the hotgrips

And a polishing for the complete sled.
