so whats the plan?

arcticcatwill · Sep 17, 2012

1m/VE with the thundercat motor. I have D&D trail pipes for it.
Use all the suspention/drive train out of the sno pro and try to use the pans and hood too if the will fit with the pipes... If they dont i have a mint 97 thundercat hood too and a King cat diamond s hood with black, green, or orange pans.

I am also a CNC machinist so Im goin to try and loose weight where ever I can. And I also have access to a lot of titanium scrap...

For a track I havn't decided yet. It's between a 153 or 162 PC, or a single ply challanger.

Going to get motor mounts ordered soon. Think Im going to use a m series skid with k-mod. And I may have figured out a way to use a m series fuel tank and boss seat, just need to the motor in with carbs and filters to test fit.

Sounds like a great project!

Check it out, my '99 Snopro chassis turned mountain. I used the original steering hoop with the 1M tank at first. I swapped to a 1M hoop after realizing the older Snopro hoop doesn't have enough support for the steering. I'm a stickler for my sled being "tight" feeling. This helped a lot. So did a few other re-inforcements tied to the bulkhead.

Thats BA sled man hoping mine comes out that clean looking. Really hoping triples fit under the sp hood though.

Heres my extra support... and extra forward steering

Sorry for poor photos, used my phone.

Reeb · Oct 14, 2012

They will fit but will need to be modified. Otherwise the TCat plastics is the easiest route.

Thanks, this year it might get some improvements but I'm head deep in a Rev/Yammi conversion so the Kitty gets a backseat to any mods. I wanna try a different skid to compare with that I have now. Getting the rear to sit lower might help with the light feeling the sled has(too light). M-10's are cheap nowadays, might be worthwhile piecing one together and trying.

....one of those pics looks just like my old neighborhood :face-icon-small-win

Id stay away from the older M10 like mine. I decides to go with a m series skid with k-mod. My m10 was great for keeping the skis down but did not like to boondock. It was nice for launching to. I had to bend my rails back strait a few times now and then. They are really weak in the middle.
