Knock & Tundra
Tundra
Knock, you ever built a sled from scratch? I can’t argue with a solid frame and a reliable motor, but I’d love to see the guts of one you’d use on a blizzard.
Knock
Sure thing. I’ve built a lot of machines from scratch, but a sled is no different. Start with a strong frame – steel or heavy‑grade aluminum. Mount a sturdy axle, use solid bearings, and add wide wheels or a track for snow. Hook up a reliable motor – a decent DC or gear motor with a good gearbox for torque. Finish with brakes, a skid plate, and a solid seat. Easy, practical, no fuss. If you need one, just give me the specs and I’ll have it ready for a blizzard.
Tundra
Good rundown, but I’d keep it lighter if you’re going to haul yourself over deep snow. Every extra kilogram is another drag. Use a carbon‑fiber frame, a small electric motor with a regenerative brake, and a narrow, high‑profile track. That’ll keep the weight down and still give you the power you need. Keep it simple, keep it fast.
Knock
Sure thing. Carbon’s light but the frame has to survive the torque. I’ll keep it tight and simple – no fancy regenerative brake that could slow you down. Keep the parts strong, easy to mount, and ready to roll.
Tundra
Sounds solid, just make sure the bolts are tight before you hit the ice. I'll try it out on the next ridge.
Knock
Just double‑check every bolt before you hit that ice, and you’ll be good to go. Good luck on that ridge.
Tundra
Will do. Thanks. Good luck to you too.
