also why they nearly went bankrupt a second time...

Lets be honest, the average sledder is now an old fat guy, almost as old and fat as an HD rider

Mods with twin pipes sure do sound sweet.
 

 

Exactly why everyone on FB wants twins for their clapped out old pos trail sled

I know Doug

Does Polaris make you buy a recoil if you order a sled with estart?  

It's retarded...

Cat builds every trail sled and crossover with electric start, and a recoil...

Well, all better now!

I wonder what are the chances dealers are flooded by abandoned snow checks and they make bank selling them off for next year.

Not sure, but I don't see the factories giving any rebates, programs, or even floorplan on those units, when they will be trying to sell 23's

do they still have the dyno correction factors all fucked up???

Maybe the Doo caught a good clump of harder mud mid-track. Doo probably weighs a bit less.  Both ran good speeds in 660 but this 'shootout' was basically pointless running on a shit track and not going the standard 1000'

 

 

Same conditions for everyone. 

BTW this doo did much better against the tcat than the prototypes they had in the spring

The Tcat was first to 60', 330', 500', and 660'.

At 500' the box stock tcat had higher mph than any point on the track, of every pass the doo made

IDK, word is that the Doo smoked the Tcat. What's the dealio?

I still don't see any results up there?

Lazy bastards....

Oh, and poo blew up before the first pass, and didn't compete

Jesus you guys are slacking

The turbos ran 660' because of sketchy shutdown conditions.

on the Tcat's first pass it ran a lower et than the ski dud did on any of its 4 passes stock and dealer prep.

It's a poo 800, the fact that it runs at all means its a good one...

fire a timesert in it, and switch injectors from cylinder to cylinder.

If you want to get serious, a degree wheel, and piston stop will tell you if the pto crank pin is out of time with the mag side.

It wasn't the shocks at all, it was the non sanctioned light weight racing spindles that they are trying to keep a secret. 

 

They are spending that much time and $$ to weld up scrap metal, so they can crate a sled?????
Could have had an american company forge or extrude the spindles for less.....

This is really the only race that has not happened yet and could at least be somewhat interesting.  The eight fiddie's have already been there done that, the poo six fiddy beats the six hundo's and cat will come in last in both six and eight two smokers. 

Cat 8 has already beaten the 840 at the shootout, and in the real world

The doo 900 is way way down on HP, and not sure if arctic adventures can cheat enough to get it ahead, but I'm sure they are trying.

A 1000 is alot bigger motor and heavier.  And it would for sure be slower than a 500 in the trails I ride.

Yup, bigger and heavier,but not a huge amount heavier.

  I originally was going to put one in the sled, had the engine, ecu and harness, but it would have been a lot of work to do right.. 

Running carbs, and the same size case made it easier, even then the pipe barely fit between the steering post and plug boots

That 13RR800 I had set up with gearing and some got with @Tommcat for primary and secondary.  It was outrageous!  A fucking beast.  Engaged at like 5800 and tried to leave you behind.  Total fucking hoot and fun for a while but was just a damn wrestling match for where I rode.  The SX was perfect.  

knabbed 21 rxc this year.  Curious to see how it does compared to the SX Sleds.  
 

Glad to see you coming around more.

I don't know what is cool about with putting a big motor in a snopro chassis.  You'd get worked by a stock 500 in the woods and alot of other sleds too but I guess you can wheelie and show all your buddies that want to wheelie? 👌  just like the video, the fb guys asking to wheelie would love it.  I think it'd get old after one corner.

 

That was the most fun, best handling sled possibly ever. 

I had on 09 RSX that I converted into XC trim.  Put the 600 in a rubbermaid tub under the bench, and dropped in a heavily modified F7 carb bottom end with home ported F9SS top end, and my own head domes.  Took it to Jaws to have the pipe made/fit.  Had a flywheel cut with another keyway to give it 8* advance with the dial on 0.  Modified a reverse cam secondary to fit, and ditched the pos team.

It was a handful, clutch engagement at 6k, and full throttle rpm of 9,200, but at the same weight as a 500, and more than double the HP, the thing was awesome.

The hot-start button still worked

It’s like when HCS “tech help” starts just saying, “Bring it back to your dealer and make them fix it.”  And you realize, that may be the best advice for many.

if you need to go start buying tools because you bought your first motorsports vehicle….you may be a problem.

You can't begin to imagine

I ran twins with individual "silencers" on my trail sled way back

Is everthing you guys ride out there that flat and straight??

0 failures on 850s in my riding group and 2 ctecs failed.  You can pull B's one offs but can find no numbers on either to share.  Feel free, you won't like the results

I know the numbers I was told by tech, my rep, and Halvorson. 

It was more than any cat engine in 20 years, but still well below industry norms.  Last season we had the first warranty engine failure at the shop in over 10 years, and have been in the top 5 unit sales every one of those years.

Of course.  Cat only sold 11.  No one wanted that shit.  Still no one does.  Not even made anymore.  Great motor, lol.

WTF are you talking about not even made??  800 cat was a big seller again this year.

The 840 was a giant steaming pos again this year, after the what are we up to 4th redesign??

 

you still jealous because the 800 cat that you claim is slow, beat the pos 840 at the shootout??

seems you're skipping some of your bullshit you should be backing up....

...

no delete post button here??  I'm out of practice and pulled the trigger too early...

So if cats 800, in a "heavy outdated chassis", is faster than the latest and greatest 840 with unmatched durability, whats going to happen when a bigger version comes out in a significantly lighter chassis??

That "heavy outdated chassis" has been crushing poo in XC  FWIW
