SkeeRide 2_First Run and Crash!

Maiden run of the 3D Printed SkeeRide 2...

[@ericbrockhus2518]

The rider looks great. Where did you get it from?

[@SevenWelt]

Hello, Cool!👍 Greetings Seven🖖

[@ifly65]

Sweet Sam where did you get that rider? I just built a Pascal Polaris, waiting for snow here hopefully.

[@eliasberntsson3458]

Nice! I'm working on mine right now. TPU spindles is the way to go. They absorb impacts on the skis wich makes them work like a servosaver and also saves A arms.

[@Creech709]

TPU spindles. Thats a great idea!

[@jeffgTrialsBikes]

Wow, very nice!

[@danielemulazzi1615]

Stupenda...ne vorrei acquistare una per me !!! ...bel video... ciao dall'Italia

[@CommonAk907]

Awesome RC! Would be nice if us fans can purchase one assembled with your mods.

[@chilly7261]

Thank you. For the record, not many people are building these to sell. It takes a ridiculous amount of time to print and build one. Another thing is you need a printer to make spare parts if you wreck it...

[@billyjaggard9696]

U looking for one

[@CommonAk907]

@billyjaggard9696 yes, where can I order one ?

[@larouchedavid1]

use polymax pla if you want something stronger

[@billyjaggard9696]

Hello wats a good setup for it so i don't blow it up

[@JustinBourque-qi7wy]

Did you make this ?

[@chilly7261]

All 3D printed, yes

[@AdamJohnson-hv3xe]

Hey Sam. I was curious how the size of the rider on the losi pro moto compares to the rider you have on the sled? I'm having a hard time finding the click and play guy you have.

[@chilly7261]

Yeah, I looked that Amazon link up again for somebody else, it's discontinued. Buy a different click n play figure. I think the Losi rider is shorter, and heavier...

[@scalermfg420]

Nice build man. I just started printing mine. Where did you get that rider?

[@InukRyu93]

can i have it for free

[@collinmccallum]

dang thats fast!

[@darryldeel9098]

Nice set up. Bummer the learning curve.

[@chilly7261]

I should just cruise it around the yard... slowly 😀

[@capitanoalex]

Hello Sam, very nice vehicle.. wich KV did you use with the Motor ECS Combo? I like the castle ESC's i use them in my boats xlx2 Serie.. i also love the man on the skeedoo.. please show more, thx

[@chilly7261]

Thank you. It's 2200 kv motor. That was a first run with a mishap at the end, def more coming...

[@capitanoalex]

@@chilly7261 thx.. 2200kv is a high kv but on 3S a nice speed.. yes the impact was hard but i think the spareparts can be printed easily...

[@chilly7261]

@@capitanoalex It's what Build it Better recommends for 3s or 4s lipos along with the gear ratio on the pulleys. It's fixed and back together. We're getting some snow today, so a run on fresh powder coming up...

[@capitanoalex]

@@chilly7261 that will be great Sam let it fly through the powder

[@georgem.6136]

That Ski Is Fast! Really cool

[@chilly7261]

Thanks!

[@jacksonrandall534]

If i where you i would take the guy off. Not only will it look better the performance will drastically improve. Keep up the hard work👍

[@chilly7261]

Really? No way! You won't see my sled without a driver figure. That looks so bad to me... Also, with this machine weighing 6-1/2 pounds, I think the 7-1/2 ounce driver weight is insignificant...

[@jacksonrandall534]

@@chilly7261 well the thing is it makes it super top heavy and that is the reason why you crashed because you turned while going fast and the sled just tipped and rolled

[@chilly7261]

@@jacksonrandall534 You are right on that. Maybe I'll remove it for speed runs next time. Just my opinion, but snowmobiles, motorcycles and boats with open cockpits just look better and more realistic with a driver.

[@sokey70]

How will it drive without driver? Gotta have the guy.

[@chilly7261]

@@sokey70 The handling most certainly depends on the snow. It's less tippy if it's not deep or has a crust on the snow. I test it without a driver in this video at the 16:04 mark... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZ-Wool6e7yClc0

[@coryturner9140]

TPU is the only way to go on handlebars and spindles…

You're right. I know that now, lol...

This is the best video on the skee ride I’ve seen yet.

[@chilly7261]

Thank you! I have more on my SkeeRide 2 playlist. And more coming on some really good mods...

[@dustinstokes3134]

Sam do you print these to sell

[@billyjaggard9696]

U looking for one

[@sokey70]

Do you have a list of mods you used? If you used any? Your color combo is great BTW

[@chilly7261]

Thank you! It's not scale but I'm pretty happy with my color combination. I'll make a video of all my mods. Stay tuned!

[@sokey70]

@@chilly7261 that would be awesome. I just bought my filament and hoping to print this weekend. Maybe I'll start with the track until you share what you did.
