For the record that was a snow bunje.

I was thinking you could borrow it when the liberty exercises its freedom right out the bottom of the case. Then I could borrow yours after I turn mine into a twisted hunk of pop can trying to follow you.

I remember one where it took a hell of a lot of shovelling before the tow rope came out.............

He should have used Daynons pants to reflect the sun rays down and melt that snow away!

Oh well.

Back to the garage. Have to hook up my tether.

Ahh a highway truck scale?? seriously? Why don't we drop it from 1000ft and calculate it's weight based on the speed it hits the ground. Put it in your hot tub and see how much water flows out the top. How about we put it on a teeter totter and 2 random dudes and a german shephard stand on the other side. I'm sure I could think of a less scientific way of doing this if I really tried.

I know ? Lol
I started this entertainment and it's been fun.
We have the weight and I can't believe that it is still going on.
Little digital scales that weight up to 700 lbs are cheap.

The problem with that, pfi, is that a T3 174 isn't a little unit, and it doesn't fit on a little digital scale.

Johnny, there is a percentage of error on these scales. I will agree on that. The BC Ministry of Forests has and I quote "The target sampling error for a weight scale population is 1%.". Now, I ask, why wouldn't the highway scales be the same? As mentioned earlier, for violation, these recorded weights are subject to the courts. When DOT or CVS weighs your grain trucks and says you are over weight, what is your come back?

I'm pretty sure that weight is pretty close and I stand by it at 469.36#.

Yep and are frequently calibrated. Just like the truck scale at my plant.

Those scales round to the nearest 10kg, so there is not enough precision for what we are looking for here. Your sled could have actually weighed as much as 234.9kg or as little as 225.1kg. Also something that is designed to weigh thousands of kgs is not necessarily going to be accurate at hundreds. Accuracy is usually rated as percentage of full scale.

Very nice job Karl and brp...

To get that sled down to 529 with a can is very impressive on a etec 174", been there done that in the past...

there is also a lb in foam, throttle body heaters, and another couple on removing ring gear, and old style belt guard... Another four in going to the race primary that works better anyways...

Throw a turbo on it now and you can be easily at 200hp at 540 lbs... Not bad at all



Pics as I said I would post. Scale pic of 545.4lbs is Stock 174T3 Full of fuel and oil with Stock Can. Scale pic of 529.2 is with the MBRP Race Can. Stock Can is 17.8lbs and MBRP Race can on my Scale is 1.9kg's (4.18lbs). BRP and Carl Kuster have done a awesome job building Great sled. The weight is within 10lbs of what they claimed Dry? I have a Ski-Doo brochure that shows 211kg's (464.2lbs). My estimated Dry weight would be 216kg's (475.4lbs) based on if I took all fuel out (70lbs) roughly.
