These stupid “fuck yous” are placed in the same spot as a “like” on TBP I thought maybe when I said I skipped the 500 series sleds, you thought I was slamming them or something? All's good.

I still think the cat front end geometry is the best in the business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t you have a 600 class vector and nytro? 6 hours ago, thewayout said: I miss my XCR, but i got a cash offer I couldnt turn down for it and it had over 4k miles with a warranty expiring this year. I'll be snowchecking a new poo 850 XCR next year, the prices these idiots want for dealer snowchecked poo 850s right now are disgusting. $15,220 USD for a 2020 XC 850? OTD close to 17k after you add in studs. Until then i found a great deal on this 2018 XRS to get me by for a year, maybe 2. its got 2 years of warranty left, studs, electric start, and its mint. It'll work for now until i get on a jesus chassis again. It must suck to have to worry about sleds when they hit 4K miles. I’d have to trade in every year. Can’t you find a low mileage 1-2 year old used Axys? I see plenty on craigslist/FB and they seem like they’re the same or cheaper than the G4’s.

In my area, a 19 850 axys chassis is way more expensive then a 17 or 18 850. i chose to sell it while I could get good money for it, not because i had to. If you were offered over market value for a sled with cash in hand, would you turn it down? Edited November 3, 2019 by thewayout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Drew's 800 xcr was fast. It would have beat Brian's cat 800 by several lengths in 1000'. I will say that Brian's cat gets out of the hole well....probably would have been close to Drews xcr for 100-200'.....the cat lays down in the midrange and like every other procross 800 lacks any topend speed at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodtick Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 3 hours ago, Ez ryder said: that is one of the few reasons I am selling my summit every time I hit somthing I was all worred it was bent even though I put a full z broz brace kit in it .I do lime the midrange in that 850 but in all honesty in a up hill or flat land race it is no faster that the cat or poo all pretty much together . I really don't like the exagerated shift it makes when crossing a trench on a side hill . that made my butt hole pucker a few times and prob #1 reason it is going I run into the guys at snow tech through out the winter. Their home bass is down the road from my cabin. They have said repeatedly, great mid range. Top end and out of the hole, the 850 is the same as a 800. They also said the 850 does shine out west with a big paddle. It’s funny how the 850 is none existent in Ice drags,grass drags, and black top drags?

Pretty decent thread on all this on HCS. I personally don’t see it being worth it. Just put some decent skis on it. Or, lean a bit harder. I also think I also read where the mounting location for the track angle was changed also. I can’t remember tho...but if that’s the case, messing around with new a arms and spindles is gonna funk up the rest of the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
