Here's a picture of one of a few different styles of aluminum tunnels I've started to put together for my personal Artattack & Newbright snowmobiles.
This one's going to be set up as a drag sled. Good for hard packed snow and icy conditions only. The stock track's too narrow on these things to make this into much of a deep powder sled, so it's getting some short studs. My sled's drive sprocket is already set up for two rows of studs, and the tracks already marked from the factory for stud placement. Very nice of them
The clutch bell needs some TLC & new bearings. The drive gear and belt is pretty worn on my sled, so I'm not sure it'll run after all this... If not I'll try to order some new stuff, or fab up somthing different (gears?, belt? chain?). We'll see...

Wow nice metal tunnel! Im waiting for my electric stuff to come in the mail then I can start modding. I am getting a brushless setup with 7 cells on it with a Lehner ESC and a Nemesis brushless motor. Later.

Upon further inspection of my Artattack's front end assembly, it looks like I've got a lot more custom work to do. The whole suspension set up was completely rotten, and turned to dust when I tried to remove it.
It's very straight forward to reproduce out of aluminum. This will give me a chance to widen the stance, and raise the front end up at least a 1/4" from its current ride height too.
I can see why the last owner of this sled gave up on it. There's more broken parts, than unbroken ones! Back to work...

Ouch looks a little over tightened or somthing Also I was wondering, is your steering servo saver loose? mine has a lot of play in it, it makes it difficult to steer.

I've never run mine.
It was a used and badly abused sled that I picked up a few months ago at my local hobby shop. The main reason I bought it was for the brand new motor inside. I figured it'd just sit on the shelf along side my other retired r/c's.
The servo saver set up does seem a bit extreme, but prob that way for a reason. Trying to "dry steer" a real sled's a **** too, but on the correct surface steers with very little effort. * you can always put a spacer or two in there to tighten up the spring *

i converted my(nitro) artattack to elect with a brushless setup and used maxx parts for the front end to widen it and bulletproof the arms..max shocks instead of the original ones... am working on the tunnel (aluminum) just need to find the guy that makes tracks so i can lengthen it... the seat and hood were upgraded by snatching them off my wally-world skidoo... i also took a spur gear from my maxx and incorporated it into the steering allowing more turning power from the hi-torq servo...
