I made one out of a 98 summit 670. Narrowed. Locked the rear suspension and it works beautifully 😊

Running a ‘96 Formula Z 583. Goes great but seems to overheat. Do you do anything to cool the sleds? Reg coolant? I have Evan’s waterless coolant but haven’t put it in yet.

i would make sure your water pump / thermostat is working good, we only cool the sleds down on shore with ice and blowers.

@@SnowmaxPerformance will do. Do you think I could run without the thermostat or is restriction necessary to keep coolant from heating up too much? Going to add a temp gauge. Sled was smoking like crazy after about two minutes of running and 3 short runs about 100 yds. Thought it was smoked but compression is fine and seems to run ok. Hitting the water again soon down here in FL😁

I’m waterproofing my pro x right now! Any ideas on where I can get an already shortened front end for it? 03 pro x 700

Unfortunately for that you will have to make the arms yourself

Did you just cut every down a few inches in the front end to suck it in?

@SnowmaxPerformance Жыл бұрын

No this one I just changed the shocks, the track I hand cut the lugs

You said for the good rake you sucked the skid all the way up in there. What do you mean by that?

How much did you cut off the tire rods for these builds ??

@SnowmaxPerformance 10 ай бұрын

I didn’t cut them

@joelcroteau-vq5lb 10 ай бұрын

You just slammed the shocks that’s it for the front end? And then stiffer front shock spring ? With loose limiter straps ?

@SnowmaxPerformance 10 ай бұрын

@@joelcroteau-vq5lb yup had no idea what I was doing, when I first built it but it worked haha. 89 jag shocks in the front, made my own limiter strap, and 280 lb front spring in the skid shock
