I'm trying to make the best rc snowmobiles that i can. In 2019, I made Project Meteor. The goal then was to have a running nitro powered long track snowmobile capable of driving in deep snow, while dealing with the challenges of the internal combustion engine. After quite a few hurdles, I not only pulled it off, I made it even better with some exotic features like a remote starter, Liquid cooling and remote kill-switch!
How can I improve off of it? I made a video a month ago explaining what i had in mind. And this is what i came up with : A liquid cooled, big bore engine, coupled to a two speed transmission, and a full stainless expansion chamber! Needless to say I cannot wait to test that machine!
(Why ''Project Meteor''? Simple, a Meteor is a big ball of rocks, minerals and ice flying in the sky, with a big trail of steam, smoke and dust behind it. Sounds familiar?😉)
But what about the other sled? Well, remember last season, I made Schottky, the lightest 1/5 Rc snowmobile i've ever made, and Decagon, the most powerfull Rc snowmobile on the planet? Well, if they had a child, it'd be this one. It's name : Pegasus, named after the Greek flying horse. It is build to handle the abuse of a 6s LiPo, while having the grace and lightness of an ultralight machine. Ready to run weight? 3300g. Very impressive if you ask me.
Both machines share a lot of parts and are really similar. The suspension, tunnel and the heat exchanger are almost identical on both units. The core objective of them was really hard to reach if i didn't want to give up on some of the features, the weight, or the strength of the material. I think i found a nice balance between all three. I'm confident that if i face problems later on, I'll be able to solve them and finish those builds.
Have fun out there, Thanks for riding with me🔥
