Mine's in storage right now and I don't think I could get to it if I needed it. As soon as it's back home it will go on the charger!!

C'mon Ice!!!!

Charged mine a couple weeks ago. Picked up 96 studs for the track on the sled and have a new set of skis for it ordered. Still need to add some ice scratchers to it but I think I have a little time before I need them

Carbides are in great shape Shawn, only a year old and not too many miles on them. On my last ride of the season I caught some pretty good air coming off a field access and came down hard. I broke one of the ski mounts. I took it off thinking I might be able to weld it, only to find the slots where the skis were riveted to the mount were rusted pretty bad. As far as I can tell these are after market mounts, after looking at the mount on the other side I decided to look for a new set of mounts. The plastic skis are only a couple years old.

I found a set of complete skis (with mounts) with new carbides off of a 2001 SkiDoo which will work for my sled. I'm getting them for $100, not too bad of a price considering the plastics are 1 year old and the carbides are new.

Here's a pic of the old mount.

if your talking about the ice scratchers that run down the bottom of your tunnel to throw snow up on your track to keep it lubed, well there the best $30.00 a guy could spend and be carefull with skis you need the ones designed for your sled or the mounting bracket could be to tight or way to sloppy... If your gonna use it for just ice fishing look at getting the widest skis you can find for stability reasons... I am a huge snowmobile guy.. I dont use mine for sitting on a bucket fishing
