You need to buy very small machine screws and nuts. Use your drill and and drill 3 holes evenely throughout the track so the machine screws can slip through. Fold over the aluminum strips and poke a hole through the strip where the hole is in the track and attach your screws and bolts. Locktite them and do so for each tread. You need very very small machine screws and are not cheap. I believe it cost me $35 to attach mine. Good luck

That is my sled. I just have them there mocked up, not screwed in. Believe if you want but I designed and built them myself. They will not stay on without them and even then sometimes I rip them off.

Another thing that works well are 1/2 inch sheet metal screws. I have them on both my r/c fusion, and one of my MXZ's.
My "Nitro" Cobra 440RXT has them as well replacing some of the rivets on the track cleats.

I could build you one. I have built one for my R/C Blade sled, and one of my MXZ's have one as well. All of my R/C snowmobiles
that i have built have them as well, atleast the models that dont have bogie wheels that is.

On the metal slider cage? Yes you could use your stock wheels, But roller bearing tech. is much better. The replacment tracks
on my site, fit just the R/C sleds that i build and sell. If you need a MXZ Track, "mnkay" has some for sale last i knew. I have
only "Viper-ski" Replacment Tracks. If you had one of my models, i could hook you up, I have atleast 200 replacment Tracks
for these models.

Sure, I can build anything if i have a detailed picture of the sled. I have "2007" viper-ski sleds i have built as well. I will be posting
new pictures soon which will include the "Mountain Max" 7.2v that i have sold alot of. That one is a long Track mountain R/C sled.
I just havent got a chance to take any pictures of the Modern line of my Viper-ski sleds, because they are ordered on demand.
I am a Vintage Freak myself, and all the models i build for myself and my family are Vintage R/C sleds. I am currently building
a "Mountain Max" for my own use right now, I'm just waiting for my local hobby store to get a shippment in of "K&S" Tubing
in for the indepen. suspension. I have a drawing of the R-7 Model, i have built 5 of these so far and sold them. Do you want a
slider cage built? I could build you one for around $40.00 , but the gas shocks will not be included for that price. It will be ready
to mount, you'll just have to put your gas shocks on it, Or i could ad shocks, for a little extra.

Hello,
Yes i could make a R/C Rev, I havent made one yet, but have made many others. Jordan Krupp makes a Nitro R/C Rev
at : www.RCsnowmobiles.com

He does ask a hansom price for his models.

From what I understand, Jordan does not sell his Rev model to general public.

I could build you one for half that price, but Rome wasn't built in a day. The materials are costlly, that is why Jordan sells them so
expensive. It will take about 30-40 days to build. Perfection is my goal!

Jordan will, Just for a comfortable price. The materials aren't cheap, plus the labor is another part. He does make a great model,
which is well worth the money.
