Not sure if the black jack would be the best thing, for the same money you could make a competitive racing cat, where can i buy the hop up parts i do not want to spend to much money can they be custom made? thanks alex

You probably could make the parts but I have no clue how since mine were bought RTR which I regret since they needed to be rebuilt from being damaged from shipping. It took me months & many hours to get them to run decently. For me if I have to tinker with them much I no longer want to even see them anymore,Thats why I started into gasoline boats and gasoline rc. I have a health condition that gets worse under stress thats why I give-up often.

Your sled is the newer version(Fuel proof) which seems like a decent deal. The upgrades works very well since it handles alot better but that depends how you will run it. Another issue is the track collecting snow,Thats where the GT system is best. If you email Peiro with the items you desire he will give you a discount since the season is nearly over. http://www.artattacksnowmobile.net/html/contact.html

They mainly are made for packed snow. Powdery snow will most likely be a problem unless you have the GT system with a studded track with wide skis which might help but I doubt it. Today we got about 3-4 inches of soft snow. The studded GT system blue sled goes through it okay and the basic set-up purple sled will barely move since it sinks/spins. In a parking lot both runs pretty decent.

GT = Gearless Track
This track has been designed to eliminate the collection of snow in the drive system. We have also incorporated a deep lug track. The thinner membrane is more flexible, giving less stress to the engine when operating under extremely cold weather.
Gearless Track Pulley, Designed to eliminate the collection of snow between the track and the pulley, a clean drive system will minimize your clean up time and prolong the life of your engine.
