$1000 snowmobile challenge FINAL update! Plus new track!

[@tjspaddy]

Matt has got so much better in front of the camera. He's fun to watch.

[@Cekmore]

Hes that cute in person lol bromo dollo😹

[@mikekomin1772]

Ken should really also be described as a KZbin legend the guy was and is an inspiration to me personally

[@jacobsharp4985]

Hey guys! The traxxas TRX4’s have multiple drive mode options built into the ESC. It looks like yours is in sport mode so there is no drag brake. Try crawl mode! Full drag brake so it doesn’t roll down hills

[@JJ-fc8ew]

thats over most of their heads lmao

[@turbo-brian]

@@JJ-fc8ew Bro, what're ya sayin'? 😂

[@asylumental]

Yeah it'll blow their minds once they get their trx4's to run to their full ability

[@Bigninjon]

RIP Block, and the sound

[@tristan999]

This cheap sled challenge is like a trip down memory lane having grown up in labrador! Love the content boys! Can’t beat a sxs blog vid after a long day at work!

[@grantdubridge7995]

I have five of these cheap sleds. It is my current memories. I need to get rid of two, at least.

[@nascar5410]

I'm really enjoying the cheap snowmobile challenge, the guys are taking it serious and are into, not like most cheap challenges where they trash them and don't care

[@Truth_Spoken]

On your Traxxas crawlers, put the speed controls in crawler mode. They are in trail mode out of the box.

[@jmablaster]

What happen to Ricks sled? Missed that update

[@lucascady4992]

So excited you made a video at Mickey's!! That's a hidden gem here in Michigan!!!

[@sarahahn2175]

I live in the Chambersburg PA area. Glad to see someone close to me.

Always thought you guys were awesome ... the shout out to Ken Block just elevated you imho ... He will definitely be missed. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

as a blind side by side and snow mobiele rider, my favorite machines are the honda Talon 1000 r, and the viper 750. I used to own a viper, and now I own a talon. I'm very much into the channel and what y'all do.

[@Soulbain85]

This is exactly how a friend of mine got into RC crawling, started with a bunch of "junk" obstacles in his back yard..... now has a full course that goes up into the pine trees in his backyard! Careful it's a addiction.

[@aliassmithandjones9453]

this is so cool- young guys reviving and having fun with old beater sleds! Also that Mickeys boneyard is incredible! It looks like mostly flatland sleds but still amazing!

[@shanewarner8854]

Dude you guys need to get that banshee sitting in the corner on the channel that thing looks sweet!!

Same here

[@adamUDavies]

Has anyone cut the Reed valve stops off ??

[@gerardjones7881]

$1000 , a million dollar heated workshop with unlimited parts and years of experience. Gee thats a challenge. I paid $250 for a 96 skidoo touring e 380 , knowing absolutely nothing about skimobiles or even where to source parts. It took me 3 yrs to sort through it all, blown cyl, leaking main seals, sticky clutch, needed all elec circuits renewing, new starter and ring gear, ski's needed welding etc , it was endless learning as you go. THAT was a challenge. I had the engine on the workbench 3 times before I got everything right, but it goes good now.

[@jamesworkman686]

Y'all been careful on them snowmobiles we all know the recent tragedy that involved one

[@obsidian....]

Appreciate the consideration of talking about Ken at the end 🙏

[@rccrazy5556]

Please be careful on them machines guys. R.I.P. Ken. The man, the myth, the legend 🙏. Love you guys getting into rc crawling. I currently have 27 rc crawlers and absolutely love them. Also can we all just take a minute to send condolences to all kens family and crew members plus all the Hoonigan gang.

[@supersport1986]

The trx4m are really impressive for what they are I bought 4 of them 1 for each one of my boys and me we built a course out of cardboard boxes, masking tape and a couple boards even have a couple tape bridges and I will say they are very capable and pretty durable 2 of my boys have chipped a tooth in the steering servo but I was able to pull them apart and turn the gear 180* and they where back wheeling. Love the cheap sled challenge and the rc course!

[@BabyCharlotteschannel]

SRX all the way!!! Remember my buddy had cut the lugs off his crappy worn out track and with the ice pick studs it had that thing would stand straight up and he'd just feather the throttle and was doing 1/4 mile wheelies no problem!! My God that thing was fast, super quick and fast!! Boy i can't wait to get a nice ole SRX 700 one of these days!!

[@-bw76]

Selling advertising space on the sled to increase the budget is a top notch move. Way to go Doug.

[@SXSBlog]

Unreal

[@cjackfly]

So glad you jokers did this. I had already bought my beater when I tuned in to your shred. Now, just today my buddy hit me up with his BEAST BUY! A $1,000 two sled deal with one being fully COOKED PROPER! An XCR with a rebuilt engine. The second for parts car. No! You gotta go. You wanna join the skate army?! You gotta pay your dues! Q. 😄

[@adamlewis6660]

Mickey's is a hell of a place, they put a new crank bearing, connecting rod, and crank together for my ttr-125, did a great job

[@user-hq5wq8tm6b]

Holy cow! Never heard of Mickey's before. Googled it and it's only 1 hr from me. Will be visiting ASAP!

[@randalltufts3321]

Awesome sled content guys. Remember no roll cage here , have fun but be safe. Ken block and hoonicorn changed the performance motorsports world. Legendary driver,KZbinr , father , class act and so much more, in a life cut way too soon. I'm going to miss him. How much more would he have given us the world will never know. RIP Keep the good content coming. Stay safe guys. Parts can be replaced, lives cant

[@michfloridaman]

Thanks for the name drop on Mickeys in Midland. As a fellow Michigander it's good to know about these resources. The sled content as always, top notch fellas!

[@shortshorts920]

My lord boys I was going through withdraws over here waiting for an upload.

[@FrosGarage]

when i see more snowmobile challenge videos i get so hyped. Keep em coming!

[@kevinkolb4355]

Thank you so much SXSblog for the speech about Ken Block #43, such a legend and inspiration to all of us in the motorsports community. I never got to meet him but I have always seen how humble, caring, and loving he was to his family, his friends, the sport, and even to complete strangers. On this trip instead of the saying "do it for Dale" I say you guys "DO IT FOR KEN"

[@chadepperson5609]

I'm not a big snowmobile guy and I don't live anywhere near good snowmobile terrain, but I have really enjoyed this content.

[@tdubbs934]

They are so much fun, i ride atvs and dirtbikes, boating etc. snowmobiling is to me more fun than all of them.

[@robertjohnson4784]

OMG snowmobile parts heaven If you can't find it at that place you need to stop looking Best of luck guys can't wait for the snowmobile race

[@tdubbs934]

The yamaha is by far the best sled in the group. Redhead triples go 20k miles without touching them. Buddy has a 01 700 mountain max with 15k miles, never gave him any problems, top end still at 135 psi. They go forever. The steering is tight and they steer easy unlike a 90s polaris. I bought an 01 vmax. 700 with 7500 miles. I didnt mind the high miles. Had a brand new track, bearings etc. i plan on it going another 13k miles easy.

[@champracer04]

Where’s Ricks ZRT? Love those 3 cylinder Cats

[@markalton4610]

I had a ski doo like that thumbnail rig a long time ago. Man it was slow but I beat that thing for years and it never gave up

[@chevyheavy79]

Just saying there is a place in Hart called west michigan snowmobile and they have tons of parts also, you guys are familiar with that area it's right next to the silver lake sand dunes. Happy sledding👍

[@jakesmall3454]

That RC truck is a clean unit. Would love to have that in real life

[@taylorsova2594]

Ride safe, there has already been at least 1 snowmobile related death in each county in the UP this season. Excited to see the challenges!

You can set those trx4 so they have engine breaking so they don't run away from you when going down hills

That arctic cat jacket Matt has on, my dad still has and still wears when I ride with him now and then 😆
