Project SS: Skinny Sled
- Thread starter tiebreaker
- Start date

I need your help!!
So I entered the Skinny Sled and I in a competition :doh: called "North America's Top Snowmobiler." It's all based on how many votes you can get, so I need a big favor. Go to this link and vote for me, Brady Wilson. They are giving away prizes for voting and you can vote every day during the competition. Here is the link: https://www.supertraxmag.com/nats/index.asp

Ever hang it from a scale?
Would be interested to know what it weight is?

Great Looking build!
VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO!
I think its amazing what was done here. Look at how minimalist this is and it still weighs 410lbs. Pretty impressive what the new stock sleds weigh in comparison. I really think some sort of v twin type engine is the next step in a skinny type sled.

Incredibly impressive! Would love to see some video of it in action and a quality walk around on youtube.

cant even begin to imagine what kind of area this sled could get to with a turbo etech and a 3"

So?
So what happened whith this thing? Good, bad, ugly, awesome?!

Would love to see a full build on this
The OP appears to have faded off into obscurity......:face-icon-small-con

i wonder if one the big 4 picked up some stuff on it so he has to stay tight lipped now maybe eh?
Skinny sled
Possibly.
You'd think this thread would have been removed if that was the case.
I'd like to see him post an update.
I think he did very good job.

There's more to this whole design, something that is still missing. I suppose
at some point this (thing) that is missing will get factored in. I have seen one post recently that has asked the right question. Clear as mud? When this (thing) is seen by more people or, talked about someone from the sled community will build a whole new
snowmobile. It will have a much better balance be more compact and,,, under 400 lbs.
I think the big four are already working on it,, this (thing) is not new, they all did it before. I know, some will say it won't work because of this or that but, the same thing was said about belt drive systems and so on. I so want to build a sled with this (thing)
because it will be a game changer... I don't have much in the way of fab skills but do have vision. This (thing) came to me back last summer just surfing snowest and hardcore sledder, just looking at sled parts. If not by me, somebody will get it figured out and build it. The thing is, one mountain chassis can be built, with different
mounting points for different brand parts to mount what ever engine and body to this chassis. Sure to do that, some of the hard points will be slightly different but not enough to make the whole concept hard to build. Project SS is close, that's the cool thing... I also see a new final drive system.

he did have this sled at the salt lake snow show this year ,it is very well built and very skinny . great work
I think Polaris has one on the snow. They've GOT to.
As I've heard it said, they bought Timbersled and are trying to figure out the whole snowbike vs snowmobile thing...and the skinny sled is going to be somewhere in between.
I suspect the skinny sled is a hybrid and will be marketed as the NEXT NEW THING.
And it's no snowhawk.
