87sheerips Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 So 87, Which one are you again????I get names mixed up so bad. Give me another season and I will get your guys names down pretty good. Yeah, he mentioned a couple names and I was like oh yeah, I know them. I told him he could just ask you guys about the motor since you have seen it run. I told him it was a hell of a runner for a stock stroke. He definetly wont be disappointed with that motor. Get building that motor man. I'm a little nervous about this whole ice thing too, but hey, if there's hot chocolate there, who could resist? Im JD.. Ice riding is my favorite riding of all. Thats why im waiting on building this cub until late winter. Dont want to be in the garage while eveyone is having a blast on the ICE! Still got some more stuff to dave for too like override and all that jazz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockenrail Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I think I will give it a try. :thumbsup: What are you doing for tires? will snowmobile studs work? Tires are an issue for me also, although nunica is only 10 minutes from me so that isn't a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheejoel Posted November 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I think I will give it a try. :thumbsup: What are you doing for tires? will snowmobile studs work? Yeah snowmobile studs hook amazing but pull out kinda easy if your using a thin tire. Im going to be buying a set of ice racing tires and putting around 300 screws in each of my back tires and prolly 150 in the fronts...I get about 5/8" screws.. A screw that long alot of the time will break through the tire so i get a bunch of old rubber and glue that to the inside of the tire, then wrap some duct tape around that and run a tube. works great with very very few pullouts. If i were to run snowmobile studs woodys sells a 96 carbide stud kit that includes studs, backers, and nuts for around $150 i think. 48 snowmobile studs in each tire will be plenty. You can get 1000 ice racing screws for around $55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronco91shee Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 i would be intrested if i could get some tires. i have 3 other ppl i think would come to ride as well. but none of them have studs. mabye we could make a studless class, just kinda more fun than a real race, for those who dont have the studded tires but still wanna give ice a try for the first time........dumb idea? either case, i would prolly stop out to at least watch if yall dont want regular tires out there. coming from detroit, but would be worth a drive. guiess i would have to get mine running soon.... pete, the wife said ur stateside sumtime round christmas?..........?

bansheejoel Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 honestly man, running tires without studs sucks lol. All you do is spin like a bastard and go like 10mph lol and spin out in every corner. I might have a spare set of tires on rims someone can borrow for the day. They wont have 500 screws in them but i think i have around 250 left over than i could pop 125 in each tire. Its better than nothing i guess.
