-- I love the Snowdog. It needs a bit more development though; such as a proper EFI motor and more modern track / boogie wheel tech to include modest suspension for smoother cornering.
I see it's chain drive... IDK. Usually snow machine do better with CVT.. It sounds under powered. I think it needs some refinement but could be useful for a winter trap line runner or late season hunting buggy around snow covered fields etc.
it's a 4 stroke so itll always sound underpowered...the 4 stroke guys will love hearing that lol. its chain drive but has a cvt...its a great machine and very tough but it's not meant to be s snowmobile.
It looks like there is no chain case , just an open chain and sprockets as can be seen at 0:53. Seems like a lot of crud could get in there or a rock or stump could damage it easily. Any thoughts or experience with this type of setup?
That thing needs a fan-cooled 340 Two stroke option It would rip with 30 HP that 4 stroke is like sounds like wet farts and is seems a little underpowered.
You just can't imagine how cheap these things cost in Russia, incredibly cheaper in average 3-4 times cheaper. From 1 to 2 thousand dollars only, while snowmobiles (brp , polaris, arctic cat, yamaha) are more expensive than in Canada and the USA.
Snowmachines have gone through the roof in price these days. I only buy used and try to do so in the spring when demand is low and so are prices. I wont be buying another one until after these ridiculous covid prices go down, though.
So if I could design a Snow-E-Dog, which could also be called a Snow Bolt, or a Snikachu, at a low price point. Essentially a plug and play mod to the existing platform; could you guys make it happen?
I would imagine hard to get stuck, nothing to "hang up on" like on a snowmachine belly pan, and you can easily step off and take weight off. But I would imagine it is slow in deep poweder, it seems to have a tendency to plow infront of it quite well. Would almost like to have seen a more slim front that would deflect snow going over it to the sides.
PowerModz thx i know that there is nothing to get hang up on to but I was wondering if the track would spin or the engine would lack of power like when you had to step of but in deeper snow like I have In my area
Now i want to buy a sick sled with a blown engine and hack the front off and make this with sick tech under it slow but unstoppable tank ice fish hauler and tight woods ripper
Ape Havoc but you can put this in the trunk of your Outback and take off. Great for someone who doesn't have alot of storage at their place but still wants to spend time in the woods. I have a cabin that I need a snowmachines to access in the winter. I am seriously considering ditching my conventional machines for this. No more 140 mile trip with an old trailer over treacherous passes. Just throw it in my trunk and run. Would be great for me because I just need transpo. Not looking to rip things up (not that there is anything wrong with that). 😎
Most of the uses I can think of for this could be done by a 4 wheeler, so I'm not sure why you're comparing it to a sport snowmobile. The other reply has a good point though, it seems ease of hauling might be a major plus side.
My dad built a homade version of this and I can tell you these will go where a 4 wheeler wouldn't dream especially in the fall driving over floating bog
I don't get this thing. Get a snowmobile, and if a trailer is the issue like some have stated, the price for this thing will buy you a used 4x4 half ton truck. I just don't get it.
@@PowerModzOfficial Haha so true. I'm from north eastern Minnesota and we live fish and snowmobile regularly I've just never seen one of those bad boys before haha
meh - we've not been able to snowmobile so we have to do something - and this powermodz machine costs me a lot of money out of my pocket - so if you want me to keep making videos I need to make money.
Sorry bro, It's not just you... Everybody that I like watching on RU-vid are really into selling merch now... Usually what you do on RU-vid should be out of free time... I guess everybody is trying to make a living out of RU-vid now. I miss the Old Skool RU-vidrs !
