AK... thanks for the heads up... didn't read the FB page.
What I'd like to see in a lightweight sled.
Polaris could make an entry level fan cooled sled with current parts on hand.
Get the kids and smaller riders back into sledding!!
PRO-FAN 146" 550cc
2" 146" single ply track
Powder track running boards
Std Fox floats Fr/rear
RMK suspension
Stand up steering
RMK shorter seat.
Pivot steering post for easy height adjustments.
Quick drive with no center driver (not needed with lower hp)
I see a 380 lb sled possible for not a huge outlay from the factory.
Remember... there is no cooler in the tunnel and no coolant/pumps/ecu/injectors etc... super simple and would be a total GAS to ride.
They would snow check plenty of these... heck, give a 146" x 2.4" paddle as an option.

Exactly, but I would also add a 36" front end. Motor cycles and four wheelers make stuff for kids. Why can't the sled industry.

Polaris did come out with the Indy 550 Fan cooled in a 144 track but it weighs like 429lbs.
YEP.. .THE INDY 144...Not a lightweight package though.... and sitdown steering angles...Lots of potential for LW faner with ALL existing factory parts.

The carbed 800 mono block conversion is riddled with problems. Haven't seen one with more than 500 miles on it with out a rebuild. I am sure they are out there but just have seen and towed to many out to have complete faith in them. My biggest complaint with the pro chassis is snow and ice build up on the tunnel. My assault ready to ride, full of fuel/oil spare belt, tools etc..
