snowmobile modification

[LOLO21]

Hi,

I live in France, and there are not many snowmobiles and dealerships, I would like to know what should be modified on my arctic cat 2014 m8000 ltds es 155 snowmobile to be able to perform mountain jumps without breaking the tunnel and the rails etc ...
a friend that mountain snowmobiles are not made for jumps and that you need a snowcross snowmobile like polaris 600 r for example.
jmais I see that some do mountain jumps so if you can help me

Thank you so much

Many riding areas in France? Would think much is privately held ...

I think the guy deserves an actual answer. Post your question in the Arctic Cat section and maybe the mountain section for some help.

ok thank you i will post elsewhere.
In france we only have the right to pay dearly when we own an alpine chalet.
I just wanted to know, what to modify to perform jumps with a mountain machine without breaking everything
THANKS

Mine was a real answer.
We jump and drop them with little modification, mostly personal preference adjustments for mountain jumping.

ok and even at the level of the rails, like an ice age bomber, more solid with a reinforced axle with a 4-wheel system?

We run only anti stab in front, one set mid and rears. Original rails.
Seen all mfg style rails break at some point.
If you’re truly Mtn jumping your rails will hold up.
It’s rocks, logs, stadium style hard pack jumps that’ll break the rails.

You’re more likely to destroy rails on a whooped out hammer trail than a jump or drop.

thanks very much

last question after I stop bothering you?.
can I do snocross with a Sks 146 or assault model or do I have to take a special snowcross machine?
thank you for your answers, can explain in France

I'd get iceage bomber rails, cat rails are insanely fragile. Maybe some B&M fab running boards too, they'll hold up better than stock in the long run. Or wait til the stock ones start to bend and replace them then.

remove the es and get a non-es seat and tank and replace the muffler with something lighter
