Sno scoot 128" from Santa

[blackgts2001]

I was woke up at 0130 by my son screaming "Santa came, and he brought me a snowmobile" a very happy boy. I can't wait to get him up in the snow. He's been asking for a while now and Santa finally delivered. Thanks to the all previous builders for posting pics, they were a big help.

Still need to fab up a tunnel extension.

Nice job, looks good! :yo:

Nothing better than seeing the joy in their eyes....

Very cool! I just got one for my boy. Where did you get the info on swapping the rear skid and track? SnoScoot tracks are brutally expensive!

Great looking machine and LOVE the toothless smile! Got my 8 year old toothless wonder a Formula 380 in Sept and we've had a couple good rides so far. I sure you're anxious to get little man out there!!

By the way, my kids got that Pieface game and it's a kick in the pants too!

I got all the info off snowest. It's been done several times but each one is a little different depending on the parts you source for the build. the hardest part is getting the drivers. I ended up getting a set of drivers for a hex shaft, having them bored out and fitted with a metal sleeve for the square shaft and then pinned through the driver and shaft, very nice looking when done.

The rest is just find a track and rails and fab up the brackets.

a nice write up here:

Looks great - be sure to do the mod to the boards / foot rests (pretty easy). Give the kid some traction under his feet - stock set up with the plastic is very slippery.

Yeah, Santa ran short on time and his welding skills are sub-par at the moment but that is on the to do list.

Looks good, I just finished one and have another one to do...

Any info on the drivers you used (model number), and the sleeve (where you found it)?
thanks

If you can't find the OE drivers to press on, you can remove the old drivers and pick up a set of with 2.52" pitch. You can cut the centre out of the 2.52" drivers and centre them up and weld on couple of tabs on the shaft and through bolt them. These engines are only 80 / 125 cc so you're not dealing with any excessive amount of torque. Centring and aligning them is the most important part.
Aftermarket 2.52" drivers to fit these are getting hard to find.

Great build! Just bought my 6 year old one and already wants a 340. Luckily he has two younger siblings that can use it. Who did your wrap?

These are the drivers i used. Friend of family works in machine shop. He bored out the center and pressed in a sleeve that he made to fit the square shaft.

I did the wrap. I purchased a piece of vinyl off ebay and cut to fit.
