The TNT is definitely better than the Adrenaline, but still lacking compared to the XRS. To really get the full amount out if the G4 it has to be and XRS. Comparing an XCR to an Adrenaline or TNT, or even an X is foolish. I stand by what I said about him seeing the G4 differently once he gets some real seat time on his XRS.

It's the same chassis....I rode gades and an XRS with exits back to back. The chassis is not close to on par with the axys....its just the way it is. The ergos arent near as good on the g4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got marginally better mileage but I was always fucking around on hills and never shut my sled off waiting at intersections. 4 hours ago, DriftBusta said: My Assault drank the oil like a boss. 😳 It did and still grenaded. 4 hours ago, thewayout said: I always thought my poo 800 was pretty good on gas and oil. Not etec good, but close. When we would fill up we’d be within a gallon or so between prestons 850 and Steve’s 800 etec. They were always looking at my pump and shaking their heads hoping they’d see a much bigger difference. I pay $30 a gallon for bulk doo XPS or poo VES oil. Currently have 3 of each. my local dealer runs a sale every Black Friday and I go every year Ive run Castrol in every sled Ive owned for 20 years, puked a piece of piston out the exhaust but she still ran fine. 4400 miles on stock pistons figured I'd freshen her up......Im thinking it had 7500 miles when I sent it down the road. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chassis is not close to on par with the axys....its just the way it is. The ergos arent near as good on the g4 The shocks make all the difference in the world. I'd rather ride and XS XRS than a G4 Adrenaline TNT or X. RMotiom skid is way better tho. And that takes the most abuse. Handling of the RAS 3 can be improved with different carbides. I haven't ridden and Axys, but just sitting on it , I don't like it at all compared to the G4. A buddy of mine has an XCR 800 and has ridden and Doo G4 XRS. He told me his next sled will be an MXZ XRS. I will hopefully get a chance to ride his XCR this year. But I HIGHLY DOUBT it will mean anything.

After conversing with Tomas in the sled thread and looking for the Shell advance at my jobber store, I couldn't believe how much it had risen since the last time I purchased it. $64.99 regular price for 5 liters!! That's insane! https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/shell-advance-synthetic-snowmobile-oil-5l-0281796p.0281796.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIprbvo4HH5gIVEdvACh0NvAJrEAQYASABEgKqovD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#store=336 I also noticed the regular price of a decent synthetic engine oil like Pennzoil was now over $61 dollars up here!

Doesn't ride like a brick at all Took me a while to get them adjusted. I have the rebound and dampening set right in the middle on both. I've had them serviced 3 the and that's what they work best at. I've heard the 36s are softer so that probably isn't going to work on them.

Angry ginger Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 many people need the pro 40's softened. guy like ian at monster can easily make they ride like some of the best shocks available which they are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
