Introducing SlimeR
Another season is upon us and this years build has been very time consuming! Picked up my 2020 back in August and didn’t really get a chance to tear it all down until a few week before the Edmonton sled show. She is still very much a work in progress but quite happy with everything thus far. Still haven’t rode it yet. I will wait a few more weeks until the snowpack is at a suitable level before taking her out for her maiden voyage.
First off the sled was the stock boards for some CR Racing Gen II Extreme Running Boards, CR Gen II Rear Bumper, Heavy Duty internal bracing, and a set of heavy duty suspension brackets. Everything was test fitted for fitment mocked up and then sent off to Jenn at Liquid Venom Hydrographic’s in Kelowna for a special 3 stage automotive paint. Color for this year is Neon Glowstick SlimeR Green! I went with the automotive paint this year over powder coating because of the glue used in the Alpha rail, and nobody could really match this special one off color in a powder. Everything was sandblasted down, cleaned, sprayed by hand in 3 separate stages and hung up to dry at room temperature. It was quite the process tearing it all down and hand spraying it then putting it all back together but always worth it in the end.
Plans for this year is to keep it stock. Well stockish anyways lol this will be my my first naturally aspirated sled since my 2011 Pro
No pipe, no fuel controller, just a stock motor with some clutching, belt drive, high compression head, y pipe, timing key and a few little tricks I have picked up along the way to make it super reliable and a strong running machine.
Main focus was strengthening the chassis, sealing up all the leaks in the airbox and then onto clutching, and gearing this turbo slayer. Stay tuned for more updates as the build comes together.
Here are a few pics of the progress so far, feel free to post up any questions
