great pics!
It's pretty cool to see these old sleds still rockin with so many people buying new sleds every year. I can't say any different with my Revs. But I sure do stare when I see the old sleds climbing in the same bowls as me.

do you have any more of that phazer
That's the kind of sled I'd love to see where a rider like burandt could get that thing into. Prolly make a lot of guys look silly.

Nice pic...
That reminds me of that thread a few years back that got super heated bout hunting coyotes!
Acually, when you think about it, they would be a pretty good mtn chassis, aside from being heavy! Big, flat bellypan, the front suspension doesn't drag and hang down, I think an old Phazer or Vmax with a cat twin in it would be a killer sled!
Doesn't fit without a lot of effort. They are tight both width wise and height wise you have to add a lot of fiberglass to the hood to rise it enough or make a highrise fabric hood. The steering gets in the way too of the bigger motors if you try to drop them down a little to compensate. One of the biggest hurdles is pipes. The chassis is thin in front of the skis and so not a lot of room to make the bends and still have the pipe works like it was intended. Cooling is a big issue too, you are better to start with the Exciter chassis since it is already plumbed for the cooling. The suspension does not have a lot of travel compared to the newer sleds and definitely does not ride like the revs/m-series. Lastly, the stock chassis is still heavy. Some hurdles can be overcome, and the V-max 4 turbo was one of the craziest sounding sleds of all time IMO.
Not that I have any experience with this....
is my 96 ultra vintage yet????
heres mine, its a 1964 foxtrac. has a 4 stroke 8 hp moter, with forward nuetral and reverse. the track as measured is around 141" and the skis are 10" wide and 47" long. im amazed on where this sled will go . has excellant flotation. and great traction. but top speed is about 7 mph. havent tested in the steep and deep yet [ im sure i wont either] but it is a blast to ride around on and have people stop you and ask WTF is that
I think there are lots of good sleds to start from, I chose the Phazer because I picked one up for $50! Junk! I thought about using an old Kawasaki, (much lighter), for a base but I didn't like how low the belly pan was. I think the biggest thing about the Phazer is that it is quite heavy, but a lot of weight can be gotten rid of by chopping off the front suspension, you really don't need suspension in the snow. The dry weight of the stock Phazer is about
440lb, I chopped off 80lb which makes the old 485 feel quite powerful.
Rear view;
360lb Phazer;
Standing start;
Stuck!!!
