Rod Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Had one of these new on 96. Mxz 440 liquid. Thing was a riot. And FAST for a 440. Would gape XLT’s and most any 600 ish CC sled it came across back then. Think the fastest it hit on speedo with me on it back then was almost 105 mph gave ZR 500’s all they could handle when they came out. Made The cat guys pretty mad lol biggest issue was we kept cracking the rear suspension rails and breaking the front skid shock mount should have never sold it. Looking for another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DriftBusta Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Thing that sucked about those trailing arm Doos, is with the right hit, it would transfer all the force to the rear mounting point of the trailing arm, twisting the chassis all to fuck over a minor impact. Polaris had a failure point built in that would shear off before transferring it to the tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
