Polaris 850 Watercross Build IT'S FINALLY DONE! PART 3
What offset did you go with?
Do you have the name of the company or where you got that from I'm interested in getting one for my sled
@@normguajardo8446 Indy specialty
What did you do for the milage? Is there a way to get it to read the same as the old?
Beating out wrist pins with a hammer is scary.
Curious why you had compressor holding down helix ? Just for safety?
@@brianh9537 yes and stability in the vise
Videos goes hard
Agreed. I don't know how they got them aerial video shots but I love em 🍑🚁
what kind of gas tanks are those?
@@218flatlandrippas wahl bros
Sick
You guys want to sell me a set of a arms and shocks?
@@Skylerwells3 we just used our last extra set on Sams sled but Alternate Impact makes some nice a arms. It depends on what you want to spend on shocks. You can go the budget route or the spendy route
@@SnowmaxPerformancecan you get me a parts numbers list for the a arms shocks an rear skid shocks?
I’d rather go low budget shock for now
“This thing has a stabilizer right”🤣
LOL we were hoping so - forgot the tripod at home this time around!!
Watermobiles
ayayyyy
Looks like you're riding a huge lobster.
You're not wrong!
I still don't understand, why you guys over there always use so short skids? Just looks so weird 😅 everyone here in the Nordics uses the stock skid and the sled turns both ways more then fine
We turn a lot sharper on the course, so that’s why I like the small skis, the big skis definitely help with high speeds.
@@SnowmaxPerformancei mean the skid "like the back suspension" not skis . Looks like you have a 137" in a 155" chassi
@@mackanno99 my bad though you said skis, 146” skid 155 tunnel, it’s all rider preference
So much fun
We are hoping for more snow this coming year! But hey, we found the snow when we needed it!
What sealant did you guys use on the crank drains?
Normal fuze it
What’s the easiest early to mid 2000’s sled to build for a pond skipper.
The same sled that we have. We call it the Sea Cadillac it's a 2000's MXZ 700. We have a video called WATERCROSS BUDGET BUILDS take a look at that video
I better look like @chrisburandt or I’m going be pissed😂😂😂
😂😂
Sweet !! Didn’t even know it was possible
Right! Kinda crazy! Indy Specialties supplies directions & the correct parts to install. Basically a plug and play. Total game changer to use the 7s in the mountains especially when riding with other people that have the same gauge.
♥
Awesome build videos. Im from Finland and i have too same 19 850 pro rmk build project just now. I have couple question. Is gastank home made or do u bought some place? What chain gearing do you use that sled and helix?
Tank is made by moonlite fab - shoot them a message on Fb, gearing I would shoot for 2.3 and. 42 str
@@SnowmaxPerformance I ordered alternativeimpact arms and I'm wondering what springs should be in the clutch and secondary and what weight should you drive at? Stock weight is 10-72 i guess i need heavier weight.
@@jonteck9385 stage 2 bikeman kit with snypers - 75g
Do they still do this?? Im from south West Michigan
Yes, we will Be there this summer again racing!
@@SnowmaxPerformance do you know the dates? Do they just do ovals or drag racing?? Idk if it's of any interest but look up nimby pond watercross that's the little event near us.
Learned a lot on the video…how to cut metal with a grinder…wth why bother..😮
How’s that 850 etec doing on water thinking of building one
if you're going to build one. Build a Polaris. We've found out they're much more reliable.
Running a ‘96 Formula Z 583. Goes great but seems to overheat. Do you do anything to cool the sleds? Reg coolant? I have Evan’s waterless coolant but haven’t put it in yet.
i would make sure your water pump / thermostat is working good, we only cool the sleds down on shore with ice and blowers.
@@SnowmaxPerformance will do. Do you think I could run without the thermostat or is restriction necessary to keep coolant from heating up too much? Going to add a temp gauge. Sled was smoking like crazy after about two minutes of running and 3 short runs about 100 yds. Thought it was smoked but compression is fine and seems to run ok. Hitting the water again soon down here in FL😁
@@jayv17 that’s overheating to fast, I would run the thermostat. Something fishy is going on.
Snowmax performance on top
lesssgooo!
good video
Both sleds look fire
Thank you Sam! Clutching day today?
I stopped watching when you bleeped out the parts list
If you need any help with parts feel free to message us!
You didn't relocate pin 13 to pin 16 in the video... or eliminate pin 12
I guess it's not really a step by step video. We looked at the directions that Indy Specialty supplied us. Here is the link for installation if anyone is interested! www.indyspecialty.com/_files/ugd/638af3_faeb248207004c8fae461dfcb22e51e5.pdf
I just put this exact display onto my sled, but it seems that it can't locate itself at all. Any tips?
Do you have all the antennas & have you placed the sled outside so it will recalibrate satellites?
How did you mount Indy Specialties 3d printed mount to the AXYS hood?
There is 4 screws that were provided by Indy specialties & we reused the old rubber mount from the pidd gauge. The video shows quite a bit of how it’s done.
@SnowmaxPerformance yes but you didn't show how the bracket is fastened to the AXYS hood. I called Indy Specialties and they said it uses a pinch bracket similar to the PIDD.
Rails look sick the color is on point.
Thank you! Can’t wait to get it all together!
Grant I feel like we really need to be friends. I shaved a mustache this week too! And of course rails look amazing!
Heck yeah!
My daughter wanted me to look like nacho Libre! It worked hahaha
Those rails look sick!!!
Thank you! Definitely something different I haven’t seen yet 🤘🏽
“Name that year” 2012. lol
I would love to do this to my 2020 assault... where can i get a setup?
Absolutely! Link is in the description! Indy specialties

dope
Very cool! Now what I REALLY want to see is some clever person retrofit a 7S onto a G5.
That would be sweet!
I want to do this to my provide so bad
I am excited for it this winter, was worth it!
@@SnowmaxPerformance so I'm actually going to look into this, my proride, while not the most modern thing, has been my baby and been upgraded so much for fun that this is a good motivation for the next project. The basic matrix console is the same as the proride so maybe there is hope
Good times!
Love the 218
appreciate it!
Im sure yall ain't reusing the rods but when i am, i wedge a 2x4 in the block between the rod and case and that helps holding everything. But when stuffs junk, its junk.... yall work well together so keep it up!!! Only water cross i do is end of season with buddies and a couple beers, i totally want to check a race out sometime next year!!! How do i check out the scheduling for yalls season?
Great idea! We have plenty of those laying around. Our schedule comes out in the springtime races are normally from June-September
I like dirtbikes or stand up jetskis. Btw, how fast would one of those run on land?
Depends on what you got done to it 100-110 all day
So the thing hauls azz
@@Gdogg033 yup
on land not sure it would be cool to see. Grants camouflage sled pulls around 200hp
I guess the point is it's so easy a woman can do it? That lady needs to be in the kitchen making the owner of that man cave a sandwich....
love the videos need to see a video of you guys just fooling around it would be cool
on water sleds
soon brother!!!! Appreciate the feedback
Sick ass vid
thanks you!
Great seeing a couple share the same passion. Keep up the great work guys
Thank you very much!
