have you seen the sno-traxx conversion kit for quads? i have been looking at the web site and thinking about buying the kit. has any body tried it? it looks damn cool!! i just want to know how it performs.

 

In the feb edition of dirt wheels I know I saw something about it. Plus they had a full out test in one of the winter months editions of dirtwheels. In the full out test the trick snow trax system was on the cover. If I remember right , dirtwheels said it was an excellent setup. The newer ones though are supposedly real easy to swap back in forth with normal tires.

 

I feel it is alot of money for not to much pleasure. You could get the same effect out of a good stiff tire with screws, and they weigh so much you loose alot of power. Big investment,Small thrill!

 

why dont you just use paddles..???

 

It's a matter of displacment. with a snow traxx you get a big wide belt and have the same wieght. that why snowmoblies have belts. i have ridden with aired down paddles in the snow and if you get off the packed trial your toast.

 

we sometimes get a foot of snow and believe me, paddles or screw tires wont help.

i would love to try the snow-traxx but dont want to pay $2000.00 for a set and then be unhappy!

 

big tyres and chains cleated 3/8 chains studs on the front i have gone through tons of snow skis for the front might be a big help for starts though
