Well I haven't had anytime to work on the sled...I just moved down to Washington from AK and between getting my house/garage/life setup and everything else I just haven't had time...BUT I do plan on getting back on it here in a week or so.
I have been doing a lot of research on guys making extra motor mounts for these sleds and have been kicking around the idea of doing something similar. I saw on thread where guys were putting an additional mount on the cross tube of the bulkhead that ties into the front of the motor. Is this one of the areas you get the most movement out of?? Any other threads about this topic that I missed?
Another interesting thread I read on here, (can't remember where it is) was a topic of HP vs. weight savings. One of the arguments was that when you shed weight off your sled, your increasing its all around performance in the snow. ie. sled rollls over easier, handles better, etc. Versus dumping a bunch of money into adding say 25 horsepower, where the only gain that is "more power"
A combination of the two would be the ultimate I suppose, but I have to say, that I am in much favor of the weight savings vs. HP additions. I never really thought about it in this manner. So instead of figuring out how to pump more juice outta this baby, I am going to attempt to shed every extra ounce of weight that is on this sled. Just a little input on what I was thinking today while cruising the forums
That 3M Carbon Vinyl sure is bad a$$ lopkin! We have wrapped a couple of sleds up here with it, and yes it is awesome to work with!!
It is awesome stuff! I have never used it before but I won't hesitate to use it again.
So if it's close to a crossfire 500 is that a standard on all M7's? Seems to me if it were the same as the crossfire, it would geared much to low. I think I have that right. Is their a significant weight loss to be gained with the black diamond gears? I can't find weight reduction numbers on the gear set, only the xtreme "high torque" set.
