I always wanted one, but I was too young/poor and could only scrape up Indy 500 money. LOL

Thanks MP Kid,the goal with this was to have as short as possible, shorter than 151 Rev with ski’s missing the track by 1/8” when turning.Was not trail friendly but was a blast when armpit deep days,never got around to get any videos .Had a peek at your build thread, very nice
Most people would not appreciate the hours and “engineering” put in to a project like that. Interesting that you had the motor on the tunnel, the mass centralization, moto-style seating, and increased height must have helped the boon-docking ability, but definitely not the rip down the trail ditch banging ability. Definitely a purpose built unit.
Any video of this unit?
My sled before this was the IndyLite in pics which never got a lot of attention as everyone would laugh at the FC thing.A lot of design work went in to that build,I built the whole chassis including bulkhead with a forward rolled chain case for crawl ability in the trees.
A small core group of us did a lot of exploring when I was on those 488’s and have never see that much spectacular untouched terrain since.Never rode with the masses much then but I was in my prime so to speak.

My uncle Dean used to talk about guys he knew of with fan cooled sleds that went everywhere. I wonder if he was talking about your group

A blizzard 5500 will never take you for enough from home to need good suspension. The walk home every ride is the worst part

Sled looks awesome, my brother in law plucked the new engine from one of those and we mounted in a 1979 TX chassis with leaf spring.Dropped chain case 141 track and custom triple pipes,it was insane in the deep stuff not so great on the trail.

How many can still hear the sound of 2” plastic paddles on the mountain ????? My buddy Don and Propane Blaine had some very nice 90’s Mod 650 wedges. They had 2” paddles and I ran 1.5 inchers back then
The ride down the old Allan trail, in the spring, on plastic separated
The men from the boys.
