Can any one tell me where to buy one? Or tell me how to make one. Setting my viper up to run on ice.
nobody sells anything that I know of. You will have to make your own. pretty simple to make a gravity fed system. Install some sort of bottle under the hood somewhere kinda high to hold your lube. Install a fitting in the bottle and run a short tube out of it then T the line off and run lines to each suspension rail with a shut off valve on each line that is easily accesible to open and close when you get to the start line. Then drill a hole through each rail and slide and put a fitting in the rail hook the line up and there you go. It is pretty simple just got to route the lines so they don't get caught in any moving parts. Best thing to do is look at how other guys are doing it on your model sled. Some guys are hooking them up to pulse pumps to pump the lube to the slides but I think gravity fed works good enough.canfieldcoll said:Can any one tell me where to buy one?

No not better!!! Maybe for Grass drags and asphault drags but not ice!! Watch the mod sleds and see how many wheels they have on their skids. NOT MANY!!fusion 69 said:Just pull off your sliders and add some wheels, even better yet and cheaper.
well that how we roll, why isn't it better, more wheels is more pressure to hook upSRX700guy said:No not better!!! Maybe for Grass drags and asphault drags but not ice!! Watch the mod sleds and see how many wheels they have on their skids. NOT MANY!!
more wheels equals more resistance. How do you figure more wheels will add more pressure for traction??fusion 69 said:well that how we roll, why isn't it better, more wheels is more pressure to hook up
valin said:The wheels will only add pressure where the wheel meets the track. Sliders provide a contacting surface that is much larger, and more uniform, resulting is a much more even distribution of pressure, and greater traction. You would require ALOT of wheels in order to try to achieve the same contact area.
are you doing drags or speed runs? if you are doing speed runs 196 chisels is going to slow you down alot. but if you are doing drags they will definitly get you out of the hole with good traction.canfieldcoll said:Thanks guys,
Trying it out today. Squirt bottle for now wan't to set up some type of lube system. Have 196 chisels in it now we will see how it bits. Just want to see how it goes today and brake it in easy. Changed cluthing around a little hoping to get right rpm.
