⚠️ Warning: This is NOT a toy

The short answer is that it's not mass produced. It's made by one person in a homeoffice. If it were made in a large factory with optimized manufacturing and proximity to all required parts, it would be cheaper. It requires 150+ hours of printing (if nothing goes wrong and I have to redo a print), and is made out of over 200 individual parts. After assembling, I have to test and make sure it works well before I consider it ready. Even at this price, the hourly rate is not worth it, I partially do it for fun!

Yes. Some of the most common parts that break are included in the crash kit. But at any point you can ask me for any part and I'll print it for you. No guarantee that you get the same color. Your driving style and what you drive on will severely affect how often things break. Very agressive driving and jumps onto icy packed snow? Things will break. Landing on super soft deep powder? No problem.

Yes. Snow conditions and track length affect the performance. Longer sleds turn slower but are more stable at high speed in a straight line. Turning at speed is always problematic because there is no rider on top shifting their weight around. Jumping requires some learning as the throttle severely affects the pitch of the vehicle, giving too much throttle can lead to backflips in the air, learning how to keep it balanced will take some time.

Yes, if handled correctly. Please read all manuals and how to safely handle LiPos, they are not a toy and should be handled by an adult.

Maybe, I would recommend getting more batteries and just switching. If you use one while charging the other you can drive all day. A bigger battery adds more weight and affects performance.

Yes, you should!

If you live in Alta and can meet up around Kaiskuru skistadion, you can try mine, time tbd

Depends on how you drive. 20+ minutes is normal with the 2200mAh battery. If you're full throttle 99% of the time it will of course be less.
