ufospy Nice looking TOY it looks like a blast to drive through the SLUSH as mine would sink in slush, mine is fun on Gull Lake now as it skates along with the best of them.

One day I am going to get an old pair of MT Tires that are worn down to the nubs and put some screws in the outter nubs that still have a little meat in them, throw them on and go Ice Racing...think it would work?

Prerunning the Ice Course, yeah that's it :icon_rofl:

85rx7_93ranger

11-28-2009, 07:09 PM

i ice race all the time on the stcroix and if your planning on making studs with screws dont do it!! lol veyr bad idea they can rip out easily and really cause some damage...use rivets and some silicone sealer
