Dynamic Weight Transfer System for SkeeRide Polar Rc Snowmobile 3D print model

THIS ONLY CONTAINS DIGITAL FILES FOR 3D PRINTING

I have created a rider that can shift weight side to side just like a real rider would do on a real snowmobile. This kit suits the skeeride polar rc snowmobile. In the rider, there is a battery compartment that fits a 2200mah 3s LiPo battery pack. By utilizing the battery as the rider's weight, there is no need for anything unnecessary heavy.

The rider moves with a short standard size servo. I'm pretty sure you could fit a regular standard size servo too as there isn't any battery in the original battery compartment. Servo's often tend to rotate 90 degrees which is a litte too short for this system to work properly. That is why I used a servo expander that converts a 90 degree servo signal to a 180 degree signal.

The arms are split into two parts, one upper arm and one lower. Print 2x of these. When assembling, put a small spring in between the upper and lower arm parts. Then cover it with heat shrink tube that overlaps the printed arms. I also bought a snowboard figure from Amazon which i removed the clothes off. The helmet was downloaded from thingiverse and scaled to fit the SkeeRide. The legs are just simple elastic bands tied between the Main-body and the rider's shoes.

See my youtube videos for more detail and how to build.

The skeeride polar seat with a servo hole and screw mounting is included. I have gotten permission from the skeeride creator Build It Better himself to share this part.

Additional hardware and electronics needed:

• Servo expander (I use the common yellow one)
• M4x22 screw
• M4 nyloc nut
• M3 screws
• 2x Small springs
• Short standard servo
• Click n play snowboard figure (just the clothes) https://amzn.to/3iWBfar
• Elastic bands for legs
