[LennyR]

Have you Checked your driveshaft yet?

A prime example, Too thick, arrogant and self absorbed to realize what the opinion is of so many.

Well today i built some clamps to clamp over the driveshaft to strengthen around the area where its breaking. They can be installed on both sides, and while the shaft is on the sled, here are some pics. There available at Parkland Motorsports for $70

What is the reasoning behind the big drill holes at the corners? I would have thought that was the area where contact was most important.

the holes are there to clear 1 of the corners that have a square coming of them the other 3 are because i programmed it in and noticed i didn't need them till after but with the holed it fits nice against the flats and the corners dont push it out of place so they worked out good.

The holes help to eliminate stress fractures or shear points on the corners as well. Great Job!!!!!!!!

Wasnt really thinking of your post, it actually seemed to be unite informative, but if you see yourself in the group I was talking about, well that's your issue. No hate here, just an annoyance that I know a pile of others feel, but are maybe too nice or reluctant to talk about. The same beakers, same BS, self congratulatory crowing, under the guise of genuine concern. Ok, lots of guys do care, and sympathize, as I do, but unfortunately as is very evident for all to see , there's a few who are just yapping to re affirm to the world how smart they are they didn't buy one of those POS (insert brand) cause their Doo is so much better.
Same guys same crap, gets tired.

I have alot of good friends that ride Polaris. Brand bashing aside the last thing I want to see is one of my buddy's get hurt on the hill. With you Lenny it is a natural assumption that anyone that rides a Doo is "the enemy". Get over the feelings that you need to be the Polaris Police and quit looking into every post as something with ulterior motives.

Rotary tooling is has a radius to factor in. It is easier to program the CNC to "notch out the corners", then to rather 'file' out the corners another way. It also reduces a chance to crack at the stress points.

WICKED JOB Tyson.H!!

As for poopypants lennyr. I am sure you would be jumping all over us if the "wobbly skid" fails.....

I get an update from Snowest, every week, even though I don't go on there.

3/4 of the hottest threads is on the shaft failure. Luckily there is only a couple on here.

Thanks for your suggestions. But this wasn't really about Doo -Poo, it was about the motives of so many posters regarding the Poo issues and their obvious pleasure in the Pro buyers possible problems. It's immature and assinine. So, no, your enemy theory is far from fact. I look in my garage and see a Pro and a XP sitting side by side. I like riding one more than the other, but I realize they both have issues. So this is more about the close minded insecure weenies rather than sleds.

It's the internet. Get over it sally.

Great Job... My question is and excuse me if it is pointless.. Will that rotating mass of the clamp(s) create an unbalanced effect over the drive train?... Creating another possible issue...

Thanks for stepping up. Weenie.

Well, if the driver in one revolution makes 1.9 feet, and spins 1000 rpm, you will go 1900 feet in one minute.
That's a lot of speed for a mountain sled, and 1000 rpm is slow.
