That's owsom and it's going to be interesting to see how you'll articulate the rear set of Trac weels. Have you got any ideas on how to do that?

It's 2 am now, I'm so tired, working on laching and feeding. I think I need to switch gears from P500 tracks to nipple attach devices for my baby girl to anchor and start to suck.

Ok, finally snow and test day

Honda pioneer 500 tracks and skis DIY test 1

Honda pioneer 500 tracks and skis DIY test 2

Few things noted:

- I think longer tracks will work better for better flotation
- I made too high keel - about 1" , plus blade from snowmobile skis. Will try to lower it to 3/16" plus blade
- Construction could be lighter by drilling holes in anglers.

That's sure slinging some snow. You track and ski solution is impressive. Nicely done! It looks like your skis could be angled up some in the front but I only say that because it's throwing so much snow between the ski and the front wheel. I can't really see the angle on the front skis... just snow. It looks like you're moving fairly well through the snow too.

The angle is about 35-40 degrees, but the keel is too high so it cuts through snow throwing it to sides.
I'm going to order more uhmw and fabricate new longer skis. The current version good for wet and slushy snow on the lake and for speeding
