The profile on the heel of the weight is much different than ST, which makes engagement and up/down shift more smooth. There really is a huge difference. The adjustability is much nicer too with the set screws that screw in too the heel.

The 51 was a regrind Yammi helix, but the 47 is an off the shelf part.

You could possibly attach a blanket with these. It would be kindof a rig job, buy may work.

Well this sled is a ripper! I am sure TurboMatt will chime in with more details. He built one hell of a sled, and had the thing dialed in in about 3 minutes!

Here are some more pics to show how everything mounted up fit & finish wise. I'm pretty happy with how it came together. Looks pretty clean to me. Still a little tuning to go, but overall I'm happy so far. I'm excited to get it in some deep & steep.

what kinda rear skid do you got on it?? seems to just bottom the thing out when taking off. thats gonna be kinda a pain in the deep snow.. lots of show, not a lot of go. Just curious as I feel like my sled makes good power, but does nothing of the sorts to the suspension.

the sled looks VERY clean, and seems like she runs pretty dang wild.

The skid in there is an '07 m-series skid. Yeah, it bottoms it out pretty good. I'm gonna have to make some adjustments to that as when it gets in the steep and deep it's gonna bring the skis up pretty good.
Just to give a comparison: That same skid without the turbo allowed basically zero ski lift. It worked really well- even in the steep. Now, it just bottoms out like there is nothing there. So i'd say it's making some pretty good power.

sounds like it.. I was just curious. I know a skid designed to transfer properly with 150hp motor is a lot different then 250. they do funny things with lots of power added dont they.
