f7ben Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 That isnt true at all. The 800ho poo revs good but doesnt have anywhere close to the midrange pull of the etec 850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think the 800 was significantly faster than any other 800, it is just a great running engine. I knew the 850 was going to be a winner.

The engine is the best 2 stroke out by a long shot and there is no 4 stroke in a chassis I want. The decision was simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The etec has always been the benchmark for all 2 strokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still very fast....there is no chance it is beating a properly working 850. Drew's sled has less miles than mine. Why would he need pistons?

Drew's sled has less miles than mine. Why would he need pistons? 3,200 miles on my sled now. I think the 850 may have a slight advantage in the midrange, while my poo has the bottom end. To be honest, I think the 850 was hyped up to be a lot faster than it really is. If an 850 doo isn’t edging out 800s that would be a failure of epic proportions. Now if poo can just get the lords 850 healthy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayout Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Etecs are nice motors. No doubt about that. I’d own one. They definately seem to be the most reliable 2 stroke out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the 850 or 800 will walk all over a cfr until it hits its wall. You’ll have to ask Ben but some of the guys were saying the cfr was badly bruised and beat down after racing that weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
