Doubt it. Doesn't look that stellar in reverse either
Snow flap for Slash?
- Thread starter NHRoadking
- Start date
Guessing you got the idea from catching a glimpse of the new cat chassis
And added benefit to that flap is the sweeping your tracks clean. Keeping top secret honey holes hidden from track chasers.
I have mounted the snow flap from the non slash model. It fits but doesn't help much in regards of cooling. Think it comes too close to the track so most of the snow goes on the sides of the flap. (Track is wider than the flap)
Better ice scratchers helps more. The part number for the flap is Ref: 5458139-070 - Snow-Flap BLK
Thank you
These cable tie connectors work awesome at creating a blizzard of snow. I added a second set of holz scratchers for a total of 4 scratchers and attach these cable ties to the end of each scratcher tip with the bolt parts facing forwards. I’ve done this setup for years. Works awesome!! They kick up an insane amount of snow. Even without a snow flap a lot of the snow gets caught up in the track and flips back up into the tunnel / cooler. Cost is almost nothing. Occasionally they will come off so I just carry a few extra cable ties which are east to add back on the ends of the scratchers. By the way, this setup will still stow away up over the rails when you don’t need the scratchers.

Side note… I don’t think these things are called cable ties, that’s just what I’m calling them. Bottom line I’m telling you this is a simple inexpensive way to keep any sled cooler. I would recommend adding 2 more scratchers like the stock ones and put these cable ties on at least 2 scratchers. When I have all four down with these bolt deals I typically can’t even see the track because of all the snow and ice that’s being kicked up.

Do you have a pic of where you mounted the 2nd set of scratchers? Just drill a new hole in the rail for them?
These pics are from my boost 165” skid.

What temps are you usually at with them down?These pics are from my boost 165” skid.

I’d say my temps for example on a marginal trail ride to get to the good snow are down from 180ish to around 135 ish.

Oh nice. Are they Polaris Factory scratchers?
Forget which brand the ones are that I added. IMO I don’t think the brand of scratchers is really going to change the effect of lowering coolant temps.

Any issues with catching a rock and ripping them off?
Occasionally one will come off now and then. I just carry a few extra. Easy enough to put spares back on while out there. Doesn’t cost very much to have a few extras and they don’t take up any room.
