Product Warning

This page Has been designed to warn customers about ArtAttack kits which as are being sold as new kits on ebay by petroplace. Petroplace is selling kits manufactured in 2001, our first sampling. Sold kits were recalled when we found the following parts not being fuelproof or strong enough for their purpose.

 

old_frame

The original frame has been redesigned with stronger ribbing, New materials were used to make it fuelproof and 30% glass was added for strength. Also much ribbing has been added to eliminate flexing and servo control.

 

oldpan

The original pan was not fuelproof , the steering rods opening also made it too flexible. Once the pan starts melting the servos will not respond correctly and you may loose control of the sled..Also once snos gets in the pan from the steering arms hlose, your electronics will get fried.

 

olddrivepulley

The original drive pulley had to be glued, we found the gear design collected snow and caused jamming.

 

oldyaxles

The original Y axles were made of ABS a too weak material for the purpose of maintaining a strong suspension.

The original bearing shaft was made of ABS, after a short test we found out it easily broke.

Drive belt: The original drive belt stretched

oldidlers

Rear idlers: The original Idlers allowed snow to enter the area also the bearing pockets were too shallow. Allowing the track to jump.

newframe

To check if you have the new frame, measure the exaust hole, it should be 2 3/8 inches long, the original one is 1 1/8 long. also the 2 posts on top for the frame have been removed.
