Maybe. See if there is any other machines out there that use a track set up similar to that.

Looks damn cool, I think I'm gonna try that but with two skis, side by side...

go for it, it was a lot easier than i thought it was going to be. i way toying with the idea of two skis, but figured that would make it too stable and therefore less fun to ride lolOriginally Posted by Latitude42

alright guys, a little update....got the machine running the other day finally, had to clean and rebuild the carb and it started right up. got some snow last night so i decided to put the ski on and take it for its maiden voyage. it handles like its on rails in the snow compared to having the tire on, i love it! it doenst really work on the road though, like a snowmobile doesnt turn very well either, snapped a few pics....
next up is to figure out how to build/adapt a set of tracks for the rear. traction is still somewhat of an issue and i also cant go on the snowmobile trails because i have wheels (got kicked off a trail last year lol). i am going to keep a lookout for on ebay and cl for a set for a 4 wheeler, i think the tracks for a snow blower would be too small after seeing one that my friend has.

Posted this on another thread also, but my uncle will be making a dual ski set for the front of the 250es big red i am selling him and also my 250es if everything works out. Deft doing the tracks on the back eventually too.

so does the ski or skis actually make steering in the snow easier or not because I remember riding snow mobiles as a kid and still having to lean way over to turn.

i will be sure to get a video posted when i get a chance, i was thinking about tire chains, but i think tracks would be so much cooler lol, but chains are definitely worth a try. i havent tested it in deep snow yet but with a couple inches it does really well. but like i said, on anything other than snow, it doesnt steer at all, like a snowmobile. in deep snow i think it will be limited to whether the rear wheels can keep traction, which is why i want tracks, because then it will be unstoppable

that will be interesting to see how the handling of one ski compares to two skis. i had debated doing a two ski set up, but to me two skis make it stable and too much like a four wheeler, and wheres the fun in that? lol
