After finishing the polar ice stretch the journey continues overland towards Key West, Florida. Therefore the rear of the sled will be fitted with an axle, wheels, tires and a brake rotor from a kart. At Vemewa they are building an R1 break calliper on and also the connection pieces for the axle to go with the sled.
