Carl, you're the only snowmobile guy worth watching nowadays. Tons of information, knowledge and the humour. Your style of producing these instructional videos is like that of Larry Haun in carpentry/framing. Just sticks with you after.
To make the Carbon durable, it does flex ... does it flex similar to T motion.... maybe... depends on skid frame length, Flex edge vs no flex edge, skid frame wheels etc.. What I can say is that has a different "resistance" from center, so think...more weight = more flex ,or less body weight transfer = less flex. Hope that is marginally helpful!
Just in time for my build! Any trick for the front track shock upper mount to the front arm? With the limiter strap in there mine is extremely tight and doesn't quite have the clearance to get the bolt through - hoping to avoid having to grind the end of the shock down to make it fit 😐
@@f.j.b6542Fox floats, recommended models. The issue is tight clearance between the end of the shock when it’s mounted and the cross-member of the front arm. When the limiter strap is in there it’s too tight (or I’m not strong enough!) to get the shock eyelet in far enough to line up
Issue is either holes drilled in the wrong place (seems unlikely) or a little too much carbon wrapped around the cross-member so it’s thicker than expected
@nilsnilsnilsify Perfect timing! the front arm/center shock bolt can be... Character building! lol If you let the air out of the main & Evol chamber it should help. The Dyneema strap will compress...slightly, the bolt... just fits in. You shouldn't have to grind anything. Good luck with build and have a rad season!😎 Reply

Hey thanks, I appreciate that! We try to make it fun so folks don't fall asleep in the first few minutes😆
Curt is an awesome dude and CarbonSled parts are the Mint!! CarbonSled FTW!!!!
Carl, you talked about the skid having some flex. I wonder if you might elaborate on this a little more, and how it compares to the flex in T-Motion?

What shocks? Should not need to grind anything down

@@f.j.b6542 Shocks are Carbon Sled specs. Correct...no grinding necessary😎

Is it just for weight reduction or is the geometry different than stock also ?
It is largely a weight reduction, although there is a more "mellow" attack angle than stock.
Curious if Canadians visualize dimensions in metric or imperial? Or both?
Both ! I started learning imperial in early grades then we switched to metric!
Both hahahah
that.... definitely depends on the age of the "guesstimator"😆👍
