The new Tubie

[Wheel House Motorsports]

yeah first gen was basically a rev copy. gen 2 was a combo one we liked really well and this gen (3rd) is just a tiny rework of last seasons.

not gonna lie, you dont spend a lot of time with the front end doing a whole lot.. mostly just skis in the air blasting around.

 

[Danzick]

yeah i noticed last season even with the 550 fan power it would pretty much wheelie everywhere.

Been a few weeks guys. How's it going?

lol, to be honest, they are sitting in the corner collecting dust at the moment... hard to imagine, but built snow bikes, riding those around in the little snow we got so far and trying to wrap up some other projects we had stacked up.

Got kinda burned out doing the mold and building the tunnels, so the idea of making a gas tank mold and actually making them kinda needed a break from all of it, we have been talking about it again and will be getting on em again soon.

Man those things are cool. What size tubing are you using. Do you have any pictures of the snow bikes, I would live to see the build process of one of those.

 

[Wheel House Motorsports]

A variety of sizes this year, primarily 5/8" with some 3/4 as well as 1" sqaure for the front.

as for the bikes, there are a few pictures in the snowbike section in projects, there isnt much to show, they take about 1/1000th of the time to build compared to the sleds so less pictures of along the way.

Id love to see a 4 stroke polaris scrambler motor in one of these just for the weight and the pipe factor maybe even a 2 stroke scrambled in one on boost? You could sure condense that frontend even more!

ill take double the cc's and a drive and starting system well adapted to this chassis setup. no thanks on kick starting my sled.

ruff ryder, are you not aware that a 350 banshee starts out at 76hp while an 800 starts out at 150+, and only weighs 20#s more, a turbo also is exponentional, for the 350 it adds 30hp for an 800 it's almost 100 ponies

Nick. . . . lets get going on these things. I wanna see that 700 doo turbo in this. Forget about that underpowered snobike.

I thought we were talking about snow bikes? Hmm... looks like I was the only one?

Scrambler motor in a snowbike would be fun. No shifting!!

No need to worry about us! We will get them done in time for the good snow, for sure by the end of December. We went up to Cooke this last weekend and i wouldn't want to ride a sled i had this much time into up there yet.
Expect some update pictures by the end of the week!

 

[xc_rider08]

Amen, glad it was just my snowbike spindle that was all that was lost, would feel VERY bad smashing this beautiful sled on a rock. And riding at high elevation in soft snow made me want 200 HP, not the 25 or so of the snowbike at 10k.

Started working on them again last night... should be some pic worthy progress coming in soon. just getting parts moving again and starting to work on them full time again.

 

[jskattum606]

got the pipe fitted as well

And Nicks so far
