I saw these toy R/C snowmobiles at Farm & Fleet and I could not resist. Of course you need a way to move them around.
Que a custom snowmobile trailer:

They do run.....about 3mph on a hard surface......A little hop up in the future maybe?

Tie em down. Don't want to leave them behind.

Only 12th scale so a little small behind a 10th scaler but not bad.

$10 each so why not get 2.

Delrin and fiberglass trailer construction with torsion suspension.
May need to do a 2nd revision and add running lights.

Could you get a close up shot at trailer and ball? Looks good

TAT76 · 11-25-2010, 09:50 AM

Looks good with winter and snow here. Trailer is really nicely done.

Very nice! What a great idea!

What did you cut your delrin with? Looks like great smooth cuts.

I cheated

Delrin & fiberglass parts all done on a CNC Router.
CAD work done with Solidworks.

SWEET!

Wish I had one of those machines would make life alot easier.

mitchr97 · 06-02-2012, 04:45 PM

Yep... And not only did the OP say it was radio controlled.... FORDROX97 is asking for an answer to a thread that has been dead for a year and a half

Hope he didn't sit by his computer awaiting a response

Funny how time flies. Does not seem like 1 1/2 years ago that I made that.
Never did hop up the sleds. They run on 2 AA batteries. I thought changing the elects and add a small 2S and mini brushless would wake them up.

mitchr97 · 06-03-2012, 09:28 PM

Well thanks, and I was wonderin that because some of the cheapies have little plastic wheels that push it, whil the track is platic, and stationary.

I usualy don't look at the post dates... should start to do that.

ThunderVP · 06-04-2012, 01:02 AM

They have little wheels under the skis but the track is rubber and driven.

mitchr97 · 06-05-2012, 05:50 PM

Thanks!! thats all i needed to know!
