Dude the fact that you’re so open to sharing your work for others to buy…. Trust me when I say words can’t describe how much I respect you for that. As do many others I’m sure. You are allowing the possibility of a dream come true for so many of us who have always wanted a legit Rc snowmobile that looks so much like a real sled. Thank you thank you thank you!!! I’m positive that your channel will probably grow more than others because of your willingness to share your work with others. I can’t wait to see more upgrades and the work you have to come in the future! I’m looking at buying your files right now and I couldn’t be more excited! This is something I’ve always wanted! Thank you so much for making it happen!
Dude you rock!!! I’ve been dreaming of this since I was little as well. I’m 47 now. The fact that you are sharing this with people to enjoy is awesome. Shows the character of greatness.
love your work, have ridden snowmobiles since the early 80's, have always wanted me an RC version, and now I have finally got one, your work has given me happy grandchildren, here we are three generations having a lot of fun with your skeedride . best regards jhansen
I’m loving your snowmobile! I have finished mine and my oldest brother being 34 loves it. He has ran real snowmobiles before and fell in love. Might have to make him one.
Loving rc, and living in Montana, I never knew this was possible. Thankfully I recently entered the hobby of 3d printing. This is amazing for us that have long winters
Such a sweet build! So sweet in fact yous inspired me to get into 3D printing myself! Almost done printing the Alpha from RC Creations! As soon as it is done I’m going to start on my first Skee Ride two skidoos and a polaris to match my family’s ride collection! Thanks again for sharing these all will everyone! Keep up the great work! Thanks again!can’t wait for all my part and pieces to arrive.. I’ve almost got the first sled all printed now! Haven’t been this eager for snow sense I was a kid!
I’m currently printing one of these. It’s very cool. I showed what I’ve printed so far to my friends and 5 of them bought the files and started printing their own now. Thank you for designing this.
Thank you soooooooo much for your hard work!!! I absolutely love my skeeride and have built two and plan to continue building more!! After building up the toy version and using pascal’s upgrade files I still found myself frustrated with parts braking. But with your full 3d sled I can feel confident on running it hard and it works very well. Please keep up the great work and would be really cool if you could do more models of different body’s for the skeeride. You have made my dreams come true!!!! Thanks again!!!
printing my track today..great vid, great model, I appreciate the service you designers provide. I much prefer pay for these services, rather the trying to get the stuff for free, usually issues I can t fix. glad i found you guysandgals thx
I've been here since the beginning. I'm so happy you decided to make this project available to us. I'm building skeeride 2 right now. There's another guy out there I wish would release his file for people. I never understood people that build something and don't want to allow others to enjoy it. I mean even if they were paid files. But oh well, u did and that's what matters. BTW I love to new design and all the updates. I'm in the discord as well.
thank you sop much, im getting a 3d printer soon and been wanting to make one but couldnt find any file, then i went on my mini factory and found you, THANK YOU SO MUCH. -Crispy
Thank you. I love snowmobiling but for back issues I can no longer able to ride. So my son bought you file and we are building two sleds now for next winter.
There is a mod of a thicker one or rack mod that used turnbuckles. It’s kinda funny, I didn’t have any break for a long time, then I put in a stronger servo and have now broken a few. I’m working on a mod to change the a-arms and steering setup that should fix the issue. Hopefully I’ll have it done soon.
thanks for the awesome files ,, just bought a copy ,,, cant wait to get printing ,, just watched every video in this playlist ,, i think i maybe able to haul this off lol ,, cheers
Fun to see this process. I have to say that i have not seen any messeges tho, where did you send them? But yes, the files were only up for a couple of months on ThV. Got called down and started work with a company so i hade to remove the files that i had. More then that i can not say :)
Thanks so much. I figured they must’ve not made it to you. Sent to the email UA-cam had for you. It could’ve been old or incorrect. No worries though. Your sled was a great inspiration. Thanks for showing what could be done.
Hi. I'm thinking about buying the files and printing it but I was wondering how much would it cost to get all of the electronics and screws and stuff. Because its easy to print it. Thanks
That depends. If you want to go as cheap as possible you’re probably under $200. If you want to get top of the line electronics than you could be $1000 pretty easy. Of course if you already have some rc stuff than the price will be cheaper.
man ive been wanting to build one of these forever.... the only sled i ever saw online was called the art attack back in the day, if anyone is that old in this game... so i feel you on this dream.... is there a reputable source to buy this as a kit or roller form? i do not have the abilitiy to print this myself. THANK YOU.
Just curious, how where you able to take an actual snowmobile picture and make it 3D? I'm trying to take an actual snowmobile picture and make it A 3D object on blender, and I can't figure it out. If it's something simple, could you please head me in the right direction to do so.
Sorry, but it is not simple. Took hundreds of hours. I used basically the same process for the snowmobile as I show in my airplane videos. You can see some of it here: ua-cam.com/video/YWOPZARske8/v-deo.html I show my entire process in these videos. Some of this is not relevant for 3d printing, such as animation and texturing, but the modeling side of it is the same.
Is something wrong with the discord or invite link? Whenever I try to join it says unable too. Would really like to join to see tips and things like that
@@BuildItBetter3D For some reason it doesn't work still. Maybe I can add you or someone already in it as a friend and then they can invite me like that?
The Ender 3 is probably the best in your price range. It’s a popular printer with a lot of support. They’re pretty reliable too. amzn.to/3Hz1JFN if you can afford a little more then get the V2 amzn.to/3sYKt8E, but the original one is still really good.
I wanted an rc snowmobile for a long time. Pascal did not sell at that moment. Wanted to try to buy a toy ski to add the upgrade Pascal did sell for that. Living in the Netherlands made it hard to get one for a normal price since those models sell in the USA or Canada. Then decided to design my own. Started to look for pictures of a nice extreme yamaha ski. Started my design and after some hours realized that this was not my best idea. I have so many hobbys and projects that this would not be finished within 10 years. And then found yours. At first was not a big fan. The choice of color you showed in the video and the low poly was not too appealing at first. but then saw one in other colors and decided I liked it enough to go for it. I think is is a very nice ski. Only thing I questioned the moment it came off the printer were the printed steering rods. The ski would be finished just before we would go for our wintersport holiday. to be able to repair some stuff I printed some extra rods and track links etc. Did one drive test on the carpet and after a burst of power the ski's came up and after landing one rod was broken already. So decided I needed a different setup for steering since this would not hold up. Made a quick redesign to add to a standard aluminum arm for a 25 kilo servo from China. It bolts with 2 bolts to the arm and widens the arm to acommodate two ball joints. Use two long m3 threaded rods and ball joints on the ski knuckles too. The m3 is maybe a bit too weak. Time will tell. But the new mount on the servo arm is bullet proof. Would like to share this. How can I do that? Or can I email this file to you with some pictures. First drive test today in the snow was very good. lotst of power and good steering
Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you decided to try it, and like it enough to try to improve it. If you join the discord server you can message me there to share your files. There’s also a lot of other community members sharing their mods on discord too. We would love to have you join. There’s a link included with the files, and in the description of my videos.

Thanks. This one took some time. I enjoyed finding all my old footage and seeing how far I had come.
Man your determination and dedication is amazing! Thank you for sharing. Amazing work!
Thank you!
I just bought the files Friday. In the process of the build. Love how easy they are to print. Keep up the good work!

Well if I go the cheapest can I still get the brushless motor?
Cause I was looking on your website and it says I could buy the pack and its like 156 dollars or something. And then is that all I would need?
Yeah, there’s still some good options. Join the discord channel and you’ll get a lot of help and opinions for what to get.
Ok thanks a lot.👍 I apologize for taking up your time but I just want the cheapest setup and the most fast and reliable. 😊
Do you sell these? Would like to buy one. Like the research and engineering behind this and how you went about it. Great work
Thanks. I don’t sell physical versions, but there’s a lot of people that do. You can contact them through the discord server.

@@BuildItBetter3D Thank you for the link, I will take a look at it.
When you were design the body panels what website were you on?
I just googled a bunch of pictures and then used pictures from the manufacturer websites.
@@BuildItBetter3D I mean what website were you on when you uploaded the pictures.
Sorry, I guess I’m not understanding your question. Is there a specific time in the video you are asking about?
@@BuildItBetter3D On the video at 9:15 what website was that?
Oh, ok. That is Blender, a 3D modeling program. That is the program that I used to design all of my parts. www.blender.org
Will you make a New video on the New front suspension?
I hadn’t planned to… I guess I could if it is needed.
@@BuildItBetter3D yes would be nice
@@BuildItBetter3D did a bigger shock Will fit with this New a arm?

Love mine RMK
Do you sell roller assemblies?
I do not, but there’s a ton of authorized sellers that will build one for you. You can find them in the discord group.
Now I need a 3d printer damn it
They’re worth it 😉
hey man i am a kid who really wants to build my own rc sled. but i only have $200 to spend on a 3d printer. do you have any suggestion?
