I think they're it's a cool idea. Not sure how well it works though. Who's getting one?

[Smokey1226]

My life line would be severly shortened if i got one of those. I already have too much Ti in my body from 4 wheelers as it is!

slides would be junk in no time and im cerious as to how the motor keeps cool.

ray?dee?ate?or? Yeah I was gonna say.. I'm sure if they can have liquid cooled everything else.. i.e. jetski's... why not that thing?

I don't know anything about sleds or quads but that looks like a real cobbled together machine.
I do see a what looks like a radiator behind the seat (also looks like exhaust may blow thru it).
Also it looks as if they have fitted boogie wheels to slow slider wear.

Better be a flat desert

That is one hell of a redneck machine. "Well Jeb I got's me a smached snomobile, and my ol' ladies 4wheeler, what should I's do wit em?"

Sleds have been liquid cooled for years, though I highly doubt the cooling systems are even close to adequate for the desert, hence the rear radiator.

They do have more idlers under there, but there would still be slide wear, maybe they have some sort of recycling lubrication on them or something? Dunno, just thinking out loud...

I can tell who DOESNT own a sled here :durr Sleds dont use radiators. 1. to cool a motor like that you would need a very large radiator. so they use somethign called a heat exchanger. snow is throw from the track onto these heat exchangers to cool the motor. which is why in low snow conditions they over heat :thumbsup nice try knobbs :D

Id be surprized if that thing even gets enuf air flow to the back to keep it cool. but notice the bastardized wheels they had to add to keep slide wear down? kinda looks like a roller blade got cought in there

my bad chris, i was reffering to sleds that make horsepower....

[JC70SS]

Yes, a phazer is a slow piece of shiat...ugly too. Oh yeah that is Yamaha in a nutshell.

Why do you need beadlocks on a non-drive tire?

[Windsors 03 Cobra]

Why do you need beadlocks on a non-drive tire?Because they have 4 psi in them and the bead breaks easily :confused

I had a early 80's Arctic Cat El Tigre 6000 that had a radiator the size of about 3 heater cores above the handlebars, ran pretty cool.

when u corner hard on a nice rutted mx track they have a tendency to pop off the bead. seen it done by my bro on his trx450r.
