Sand Sled

[Yamadoo04]

So i have a group of boys 14-18 at my church that want to do a project and make a snowmobile sand worthy. I know the Dingo was out a couple years ago and a few people have done this before. I have wanted to do this for years. Does anyone really know what it takes to make the sled sand worthy and not blow up. I would also want to be able to put the skis back on it for the winter and ride it in the snow as well.

Small list of things I figure I will need:
First things first i need a sled (maybe have one soon)
Wheels instead of skis
More boggie wheels & take hyfax off
Air intake filter to keep sand out of engine
Radiator and fan

What else am i going to need to do in order to make this work?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

do something worth talking about, like a boosted 2 smoke sled engine in a dirt bike frame, a sled on sand is almost as gay as an ATV on my planet...#nukethequads

Add rejetting to the list. Youll need to adjust jetting for the higher temperatures. Maybe look into a fan cooled engine to simplify things with cooling.

Hey the guy just wants to do something different. He doesn't need your negativity. If you don't like the idea just keep your mouth shut.

I tried to upload a picture of a sled with wheels all the way around, looks like a fan cooled indy. the rear suspention is replaced with a frame and axle. I searched (snowmobile with wheels pictures) on bing and it came up. I actually seen one of these a few years back.

Its been a few years ago when we seen zbroz racing (Zollinger's) testing a sled at St Anthony Dunes. It had wheels instead of skis and a radiator with an electric fan right behind the seat on the tunnel.

Marsh made one a couple years back that was pretty sick. I believe it even competed in some desert racing and did really well. Wanna say I remember it being a rev chassis.

Since 2004, Fastrax has been involved with several builds of what they call "summer sleds". I have rode every one of them over the years and can tell you they are a blast. The latest one was based on a FST turbo. It was a hoot! Kinda hard to side-hill.

I would give Curt a call or email at ftxmotorsports.com

The quad guys get upset when you whoop on them.

Well thanks for the responses. I just picked up a REV on Friday so it is off to the races i guess. I have some idler wheels on the way and will soon be started on the project.

Oh ya and to the haters, when I am done lets race
