Finally finished

[Dr. K]

Finally finished my build. It was a long and very expensive summer spent in the garage. Here is a slide show from start to finish. PM me for questions, also im trying alot of new ideas so if anyone picks up on anything that they think wont really work, any input is good.

Nice work Dr.K. I am guessing you are on pre- mix fuel? Have you had a chance to test it out yet? Just curious what clutching you've done primary/secondary. That thing is going to stretch your arms way to long..

Nice job....... Clean workmanship

Yea it runs premix VP111 and amzoil dominator. I ran this kit on the stock chassis last year, it ripped pretty good but my clutching was an issue along with the stock skid along with the powerclaw 162. This year im running twisted clutching on both primary and secondary and it seems to pick up way better. Also the timbersled skid and Camo extreme 3" seem to be a nice addition. Not enough snow yet to really let it of the chain, but I have high expectations for it this year

Make sure you post your findings after your get your sled out for a good rip.

You're missing a photo of the whole sled done....... Would like to see what the overall look is..... I really like what you've done with this sled!!!

 

[Dr. K]

sorry guys, heres some more

 

[Overthetop]

Wow you have done a great job on this sled! very clean...How well did the 3" track fit for clearance?...This sled should be in the sled show!!:d

 

[Dr. K]

Thanks! The 3" track was a bit of a pain to get to fit. No one had the new 15x163x3" at the time so I bought a 16x163x3" and had to trim the sides to fit. As for the paddle clearance the VE tunnel offer tons of clearance. I can stick my arm all the way to the front if I put it in from the back between the tunnel and the track. I have about 1/4" between the paddle and the edge of my front cooler in the bulkhead. Might pose a problem on the really sticky snow days, but likely wont have any of those till springtime so Ill deal with it then.

Nice build, looking forward to the ride updates

 

[Dr. K]

Ride updates!!!! Rode for 5 days in Valemount and about to ride for another few in Sicamous this week. Heres what Ive gathered so far!

*Plumbing into the rubber reed boots for the B.O.V connection was not such a good idea, even with a threaded brass fitting and thread sealant it blew out.
*Decorative nasty nuts on the back axle didnt hold up to the early trail conditions and the debris hitting them managed to knock them out even with loctite on the threads, also makes adjusting track hard on the hill because nobody carries a wrench that big with them.
*The 3" track is an animal when it comes traction. Got bucked a couple times going up some pretty steep hills with some deep deep bottomless snow. Just hoped back on and pinned it and it walked out of almost everything. Everyone was really shocked and impressed at some of the sticky spots this thing got out of
*Zbros Exit X0 shocks (front) are by far the best thing ive ridden. blew away the floats and float evols which Ive ridden. could literally fly down the trail and over bumps with minimal feeling on the handlebars and best of all no armpump when I got to the truck.

Still need to do some more adjusting to the timbersled skid. will update as more is revealed.
