I dont see why he would have trouble carving this sled. This thing is light! When I was still on my old 600 pound F chassis I could carve like no other and I didnt have risers or anything.

As i said before, the lugs on that track are not big enough.And its only a 340.I think he already said he has a problem getting stuck.So turning it on its side would not help.

you wont be able to carve with that sled. I have a z370 longtrack that i have tried to carve with before and sleds like these dont have nearly enough power to carve. You will just sink in and get stuck.

Running start helps carving on one of those. I have a 79 Jag 340 single seat, worked alot better for getting air than cutting turns.
