Winter Steering Tip

[psycoticbean]

It is amazing what you can find on ebay. While surfing I came across these beauties and thought that someone would appreciate them as much as I did. Check Them Out (http://cgi.ebay.com/HPI-SAVAGE-21-25-SS-X-XL-WINTER-SKI-CONVERSION-KIT_W0QQitemZ200300590393QQcmdZViewItemQQptZRadio_ Control_Parts_Accessories?hash=item200300590393&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318)

Anyone know if they work? I wouldn't use them but they are still pretty cool.

paddle tires all around work better

[Jon]

ive heard the tires work better then them.

bank beat me this time.

I have seen these in action and they seemed to work pretty well but like bank and bad stated I would think the paddle tires would work better. These skies are pretty narrow especially for the heavy savage.

I had proline maxx paddles on the old sav, sold it before we got any snow, but worked great on sand, lol!

ya i've seen the ski setup before.. theres vids of it on you tube i think.. from what i saw they actually work really well so thanks for sharing!!!

the wife bought these for me about a month or so ago. I used them once and put them back on e-bay and took a loss on them they dont work for crap in snow deeper than about an inch or so they just sink right down and the skidplate holds the truck up. stick with the tires

both my vids... those skis do work...... but you need to run a posi (or at least 120,000 wt silicone fluid) in the rear diff...and a pair or huge tires ... in those vids i am running cen genesis wheels/tires... but a pair of 40 series big joes work well too.....

Any vids in non crusty snow?

[big worm]

nope didnt take any but they do work in non crusty snow....dunno if they are better than the paddles or not beacause i have not tried them ...i would make a vid but i no longer have that setup on the truck ...the mounts are on a different set of skis to be mounted on my savage 6x6
