Wheel snowmobile, have converted 800 Polaris with reverse using tall Snowblower wheels, 5/8 th inch ready rod very simple, and useful in around gold claim for short work pulling trailers and transportation, used copper pipe for bering over 5/8 th inch ready rod inside rim works great, and crosses very rough terrain, and beaks trail nicely.

Track was designed to lubricate and cool with snow. Running it dry will eventually cause heat and friction breakdown. Running it in water is ok.
@HenkeEdge6 жыл бұрын
Yeah running over a hard packed icy lake is enough to burn the hyfax sliders on a snowmobile. Have had a 2002 Edge X 600 and if you aint get enough snow in the tunnel for cooling it shuts down in ignition mode to some kind of limp mode. I know that people have put a extra radiator + electric fan in the front when doing stuff like this. And sprayed the sliders with a whole lot of WD40 or likewise.

This is some old legendary video on some hoonigans in my old hometown on a "Polaris Edge" in city traffic at night: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYrNhYeqqN2ifMU They modded the machine with a extra cooler and fan infront. Dont know how they did with the lubricant on the hyfax. Anyhow 1:00 minute in the video they drive past the local police station. =P

Cool stuff! My father had a setup called "snowmowheels" installed on his 1970 Arctic Cat Panther. Track and skis removed and a full frame 3 wheel was bolted up. It was fully registered as a motorcycle and he rode it to work daily in summer. Took off the kit and back to snow for winter. This brought back memories.

Penney Fabrication, Midland Michigan did this in the 60's and held a patent for a kit for the Polaris 440. The kit had real wheels in place of the track. He also held a patent for a forward/reversing transmission. Tried to sell it to Honda but never got it done. This was my grand father.

Awesome video! Snowmobiles can drive on sand, gravel, etc. You just need the special track and slides for it. As for cooling, It is liquid cooled. Probably has a fan on it to cool it or the tunnel type system. It didn't overheat so it seems like it has sufficient cooling. I had a 440 2 cylinder snowmobile engine on a polaris trailblazer and those quads are friggin huge! It was really fast, did wheelies and I didn't need an adapter it fit in with the original transmission. Traded it though for a Honda NX250 dirt bike.

I can tell you you have no idea how much fun this is until you try it yourself. My friend did the same thing a few years back was tons of fun but you really have to add a radiator and fan to ride it more that 10-15 mins before the overheat light comes on, your gonna go thru tracks too, but they lasted pretty long on dirt for us, only crossing roads sometimes and one or two drag races down the asphalt. He got the sled for $500 with an extra track with it. Doesn't snow much where I live so they can be had super cheap.

That really doesn't work so well your heat exchangers no longer working you need to put a radiator on it because all you're doing is basically demolishing that engine every time you run it because it has no cooling system and that suspension is set up to be constant lubricated with snow however they do make suspension kits that are designed specifically for use on asphalt this is not a new idea it's actually very very old they drag race snowmobiles on drag strips all the time

Just a quick FYI - Track will need Lithium Grease to protect it. Also, the engine is liquid cooled (Unless it's fan. Dunno) And is cooled by a tunnel radiator that uses snow. Sooo. Yeah. Don't blow it up from overheating or from the track blowing off and you getting seriously injured.
@jasonjaeger40428 жыл бұрын
It's definitely a liquid cooled, saw the motor for a second at the end, couldn't tell what cc it is though. An XC500 or bigger should have no problem hitting 65mph though, so the must've melted the slides pretty good for it to take that long to hit 65. The XC500'S(smallest liquid XC's) should hit at least 90mph. Won't be long til the rings are melted though.

@DevilizerHimself8 жыл бұрын
Engines come as both aircooled and liquidcooled engines. Aircooled engines (usually below 500cc) only have a fan to keep them cool, meaning they can run whatever seasons, while liquid cooled engines have a radiator placed between the seat and the tracks where snow can collect. The bigger problem is the slides, which are 1m/3feet long plastic bits that the tracks glide against in the boggy. Rubber tracks gliding on plastic causes friction, and they can melt if not cooled by snow. That's why you see in the movie they spray the boggy with cold water.

yes snowmobiles need snow to cool them down because what happens is the snow goes up into the tunnel underneath the back of the sled and hits the tunnel radiator and cools them down without that snow you can overheat the engine and it can cause serious damage to the engine such as cylinder scoring piston damage and piston ring damage wrist pin and connecting rod bearing damage which would lead to you having to replace the crank as well or have it rebuilt so this is a Polaris XC in this video and yes it does have a liquid-cooled engine which needs snow to cool it down but there are other makes and models from Yamaha Polaris and Ski Doo and Arctic Cat that do not require snow to cool them down because they are air cooled engines and they have heat sinks around the cylinders and a fan that pulls air through those heat sinks to cool them down and that is pretty much the simple version to answer your question if you have anymore questions just go ahead and message me thank you
