1) TY Sled Build Intro!!

[MrSled]

Totallyamaha will be receiving a crashed 06 Apex RTX from www.Crankyape.com (online source for bank repo and insurance repairable RVs, Cycles, ATVs, Sleds and more) for a documented rebuild. The entire process will be documented and shown in this forum from tearing down the sled to the chassis and doing a complete build up. We will attempt to acquire only advertiser’s parts to do this build. All advertisers would have recognition and/or plugs in the forum for anything they contribute. Once the build was complete the sled would go with Totallyamaha to all rides and snow shows for on going promotion. Also the build documented process would be added in htm code on the site for a static exposure in our Product Reviews area indefinitely. If there are any Vendors for Yamaha Parts, Track, Studs, Carbides, Skis, Super Charger or Turbo, After Market Suspensions, Exhaust and or front suspension components’ that we should contact or that would like to get involved please do so. I really feel this will be a fun project and a awesome opportunity for Vendors to show off their products.

We are hoping to be able to complete the build over the summer months before the season kicks off.

Also I will be looking into a few Sled Magazines (SnoGoer, Supertrax…) to see if they would be interested in following the build or document the process after its complete.

So far I have received interest from Yamaha USA, Mountain Performance, Ulmer Racing, Curve Skis, Excell Performance, Port Washington Yamaha , ArcticFX Graphics and Team Fast.

This is going to be fun!

Great Idea Tom!

BPE will donate a louvered inspection plate and gauge pod with FJO temperature & wideband gauges installed.

If this ends up having a turbo on it, we'll kick in a hood scoop as well.

If the sled needs any engine work, I'll donate my labor at n/c.

Bringing it to Hayday's??

 

[Curve Industries]

We are behind you 100% Tom. I thought this was an exceptional idea from instant you talked to us about it. Nick and I really look forward to watching the machine take form!

Thanks Guys!!! Yes Jim this sled will go to Hay Days and I welcome all Vendor Products.

I have spoken with Jordan at Arctic FX Grahpics and we will be needing all venodr logos as well....

I am really excited

 

[yamadoo]

Great idea,

I think many of us will follow this with great interest. FUN

How about an auction after 1 year of exposure on line and riding at TY events, Heydays, Sled shows etc and the $ goes to a Charity organization of the Ty users choice by poll.



Then can be deducted from taxes I believe.
Any financial cpa types can let us know I am sure.

Maybe more complicated than its worth, but it lets many be invloved.

[MrSled]

I will give that some thought after the project is complete!! Thanks

 

[lakercr]

I assume you will be compiling/posting a list of parts required to get it up and running again. I'll look for it and see what else I might have around here that I can send you. I know for sure I have an airbox and gas tank if there's anything wrong with the ones on it.

 

[gwinnraptor]

awesome idea tom, this is going to be sweet!!!

 

[MrSled]

Thanks Gwinn!!

Jim, I will have a list of stuff I will be on need of, but a lot of it is already in the works... if anyone has anything that would like to add, lets talk here or please pm me.

Once I really get in to the sled tearing it apart, then I will post more at that time.

 

[lakercr]

Sounds good Tom. If there's anything you can think of that we might be able to help with, just let me know.

 

[MrSled]

I sure will Jim. We for sure want your gauge assembly and if we get that super charger from Mountain Performance, that would be a must have.

 

[CrankyApeX]

Is it done yet??? Sorry just a bit excited I guess!

 

[lakercr]

If it's going to have boost, we'll set you up with that gauge as well.

 

[MrSled]

LOL, Thanks Cranky. I am pushing for it to have boost
