This page Has been designed to warn customers about ArtAttack kits which as are being sold as new kits on ebay by DMG machine. Dmg is selling kits manufactured in 2001, our first sampling. Soon after we found out about the following parts not being fuelproof or strong enough for their purpose.

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

Original frame

New frame

Original pan

The original pan was not fuelproof , the steering rods opening also made it too flexible.

New pan

Original main drive pulley

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

New drive pulley

original Y axles

New Y axles

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.

In addition to making the new pan fuelproof, strenghtening ribbs were added and the steering shaft opening has been closed to stop water from entering the pan.

The new maindrive pulley has been glued and machined to minimize snow build up. Many types have been redesigned since.

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

The new Y axles have been changed to a glass filled material and ribbing has been added for strength.

Receiver Box

A receiver protection box was added in 2002 and upgraded in 2005 the newest one should say ArtAttack on the lid.

Original Bearing shaft

New bearing shaft

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

Radii were added to the new shaft and Lexan with 30% glass was used to produce a much stronger shaft.

Original drive belt

New drive belt

The original drive belts streched a new material was required

The new drive belts have been redisigned with Kevlar, no more streching.

Original rear idlers

New Idlers

The original Idlers allowed snow in the carriage area, also bearings were hard to fit and would fall out.
