that is cool would be nice here in pa if it ever snowed.Like how it still pull wheelies in the snow nice set up u got there

 

[k0m0d067]

nice vids! I too am impressed with the wheelies in the snow...what tires you running with the skis?

 

[big worm]

heh heh heh those big a$$ cen genesis tires/wheels help with the traction as does the 120,000wt silicone diff lube (soon to be replaced with a diff locker)

 

[k0m0d067]

I've got a brand new set of those (the 7" fireball ones?) waiting for the behemoth to be finished...how do they perform on dry tracks (as in non-snow )?

 

[big worm]

I don't know just got them the other day!!! Will let ya know come spring (may have to go with a smaller cb 17t now will probably go with 15t)

Awesome Big Worm! I dig the skis, too bad it never snows in Texas. I might just have to steal your light idea. Did you vacuum form them or get them off something?

awsome dude!! i've seen those ski's advertised on the internet before and always wondered how they performed, looks like they work pretty well!!

Having the ski instead of wheel/tires up front take alot of weight off the front end. Thats probally whats making it so easy to wheelie. The snow I have here is still to soft and fluffy, I just sink when I try to drive on it. I really have to give those skis a shot sometime.

 

[k0m0d067]

nahh...they're store-bought even (unless I'm mistaken) there's a company out of north Idaho (just across the border from me, but I can't remember their name) that makes a few hop-ups for the savage, including the skis...

i just made some molds out of tinfoil placed some scrap lean over them and heated with a heatgun then formed the lexan to the molds

ok, I'm officially confused did you make them with tinfoil molds? or buy the full force kit on eBay? $10 shipped would be an awesome deal!!

Thats pretty cool stuff. Wonder what paddles tires on the back would do.
