Holy crap - That's a big engine on there! Is that size needed to make this thing go or did you want it to go wicked fast?

As I live in Greenland, and has snow for around 7 months a year, I just NEED a toy like that.

One is planned to fit the snowmobile it should be nice:)

We will also are thinking of making a fourwheeler (Quad or Rapotor)with the same engines and really scale.

I like it...

By the way, what kind of servos do you use, must take some heavy gear to turn those skids in heavy snow.

cool, different i really like the idea of 1/6 scale quad with 50cc engine:D i like the snowmobile but it does remind me of one of those tarmac flateners you see repairing roads:)

neat machine..... what is snow???

RE: New 1/4 Scale Snowmobile!!
 
Well the body is being made as we speak and so are the sprockets for the rear track.There is still alot of testing and beating left to be done to have it bomb proof or close to bomb proof machine.This is heavy duty it will weigh about 50 to 60 pounds rtr and built like a tank,so it can handle any abuse.

The steering servo for now is a Hitec 5745mG and is working very well but our tests aren t all done yet.We might add a second one to relieve some stress.Or go with two 805bb wich have greater torque.

The disc brake is off your standard pocket bike and brakes like crazy!This will not be an issue i garanty it!

I can t wait to try the 125cc engine!!!This thing is going to be crazy!

Once i get more info,pictures and video i will post the news.;)

RE: New 1/4 Scale Snowmobile!!
 
that would be sweet lol everyone else is gettin on the lift and your just towing yourself.....or you could try to ride it if it has a pocket bike engine it should haul you lol. a pocket snowmobile hmmmm i want to invent that.

Very nice machine!!! In a few months the snow will come!! I may have to make some snow skies for my Marder!!! Hey there's an idea, make some skies for the FG's so we can use them in the snow with the monster tractor tires!!!!

Mike@Accurate:

Where did U find those?

The belt driven Mini Scooter could be fun up here in Greenland
Unfortunateæy We have a US$ 4000 Tax on snow scooters/snow mobiles, making the small ones of those un interesting.

Mike@Accurate 10-27-2005 04:34 PM

RE: New 1/4 Scale Snowmobile!!
 
Go to: made-in-china.com and search snow scooter. Then search for everything else the Chinese make. I could spend a week browsing there. MIKE
