Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted November 10, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 10, 2020 I know these sleds seemed to have a lot of issues but IMO when they are right they rip plus they look badass. There is one for sale near me that supposedly has a Doug Flannery built motor with titanium rods..not sure if that means much but it has me thinking...anybody have the scoop on these sleds? How about Flannery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Flannery? Depends what type of sleds you are used to riding. If you like to stand up, snocross type riding and it's the right price, then get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Flannery? Be certain it has the wide PTO bearing, cranks were a problem even in stock engines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Watch for cracks at the front of the tunnel to bulkhead, skidframe rails etc... if it's been ridden hard. The copper was a cool lookin sled but it could not handle jumps like a Rev. Only know Flannery Motorsports by internet reputation as good, typical trail port and higher compression head, not sure about the Ti rods though but it should have the PTO bearing mod if he was in that far Edited November 10, 2020 by Tinker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted November 10, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 10, 2020 Doug is a top notch stand up guy that builds some really nice motors. If it's Flannery built then it should be a runner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about Flannery? Still got mine out in the barn. Hasn’t been started in a few years. But the motor was torn down the year before and went through, new wide pto bearing, and found the crank was out a couple degrees. Ran well before I put it away. 2 hours ago, awful knawful said: Last ditch effort making a Rev from a dated chassis. No they were getting rid of the supply of old race sleds because the iqr was coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted November 10, 2020 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 10, 2020 I just messaged the seller again and asked about the motor work, crank...ect...he said he has no idea. I should known better as I know who he is and he is less than honest IMO. 🤬 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1jkw Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Flannery is really good, my one riding buddy has a 2003 Pro-X, he will beat just about anybody on rough trails, that's mostly on ability but he has a modded motor that rips, big bearing crank heads and porting and pipes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn’t been started since I bought the 14 freeride a few years ago. Got an extra Slp ceramic single for it too, just need a y-pipe or weld up the holes in the y-pipe I got. Rear suspension needs gone through and weld some cracks in the pto side shock tower. Torque arm cracked it. Had it welded up but I noticed the guy missed some when I was putting it back together. She’s rode hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Those ProXes were bomb-proof. Mine wasn't an Xr but I modified the hell out of mine. It ripped and other than the time I lunched a trailing arm hitting a tree, it was unbreakable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After lots of miles, the threads where out on the radius rods. Edited November 11, 2020 by racer254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
