The man behind the Cybertrax is none other than Supercar Ron, an avid car collector based in Utah renowned for owning an impressive fleet of high-performance vehicles, including the Bugatti Veyron, Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, Porsche 911 Dakar, and many others. Recently, Supercar Ron added a Foundation Series Cybertruck to his collection and enlisted the expertise of Sparks Motors to transform it into the ultimate snow-conquering machine.

Sparks Motors took on the challenge of engineering heavy-duty snow tracks for the Cybertruck, resulting in the birth of the Tesla Cybertrax. However, this transformation was no easy feat. The team had to completely re-engineer the suspension to accommodate the monstrous Helltrax snow tracks. The factory suspension simply wasn’t designed to withstand the extreme conditions and stresses the snow tracks would subject the chassis to.

The initial trials of the Cybertrax were met with some setbacks. During the first run, the factory-fitted front upper control arm snapped “like a piece of paper,” highlighting its inadequate strength for the task at hand. Undeterred, Sparks Motors reinforced the control arms, installed stronger Fox shocks, and made other modifications to ensure the Cybertrax could handle the challenging terrain.
