Measure twice cut once
yea if i can get my hands on some tires i will prob do that, unfortunatly it doesn't snow too much here, but because it doesn't, the 3 or so times a year we have a dent storm the school closes, sometimes they close the night before and we get like an inch of snow!
so i was thinking of maybe a few accessories for the kart,
speedometer,

head lights? (prob wouldn't use them too much, but they would look cool.)

and fenders, look nice, and are functional,

and a battery
only problem is all of thoose are gona add up, and they all have there down side, and none of them are really needed, but some how i still wan't them?!
not sure how/if could fit a mini snow mobile tread in there, but that would be awsome! and prob a bit expensive.

i have a 6" dia 7.25" wide Douglas aluminum rim, with a maxis ht3 i think 12x8-6 slick
Ok, so you will need a new rim with the snow tire. How do you not get snow in MA?

nope, did you notice the next post will be 210, or that there is 11 pages? lol
Last year we got hit by what the news people called "Snowpacolypse". We got 22" between a Friday night at 6 and Saturday morning at 6. We were crippled for a week and I had the whole week off except for a 2 hour delay on the Friday morning after. That was our last major storm.

big storm, well where i live its quite interesting, i just checked and i guess we usually get 1 or 2 snow storms of about 8-10". what makes things interesting is all the ice, the snow is always really heavy, and like 60mph wind gusts, i have a good time. there is a place up the street where i could have some good fun with an off road vehicle! not enough room for a side winder, but enough for a tracked vehicle, or maybe a medium sized buggy.

People on the forum are not going to give you plans that they paid $20. For you to try and build them. And if they were maybe you should PM r97 and then you may get some kind of response. Also don't post on a thread over a year old.
Thanks

I'm not going to give you plans for 2 reasons:
1. That would be illegal and they aren't expensive.
2. I would not suggest anybody build a scorpion, but instead looks into something else. The scorpion was too expensive and unstable as built in the plans.
