f7ben Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 1 minute ago, ACE said: Yeah the track angles are nuts and also agree that I don’t need 27” of travel. I don’t even bottom out the c7 on my Mach z on the trails. The crossover sleds have much better attack angles and are better sleds in every single scenario aside from the tightest goat paths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Crappie Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 44 minutes ago, Matt said: Had that same sled. Took a while to get dialed in but it'd haul ass if you would stay on it. Saw 112 GPS verified on that sled on Winnebago in 2000. Was a rotten sled to ride in the twisties though. That power surge at 6500 RPM when it came into the pipes sucked to clutch around. That sled with VES would have been epic. It was a brick shit house. The V Force reeds helped a lot with the "light switch" throttle and yeah, really shitty rough twisty trail sled but I think most of the trip-trip sleds were.

Supposedly v force deltas make a noticeable improvement in the 780/809. Finally found a used set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think how much faster Ski doo would have been if they had a decent clutch set-up. Shredding belts and cutting Kevlar cord out of the clutches.

Matt Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Can't beat the P-85. Been around for ages and just f'n works... unless you install Heelclickers like @ActionfigureJoe did. Though that 660 of his did pull like a motherfucker right up until those things turned to shrapnel. There are chunks of those things sitting somewhere at the bottom of my lake...

Rod Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Cut 1/3 the spring off in each carb on the F3 lol. Youngest boy has a hard time riding it they’re so stiff. Was about the equivalent of pulling out one entire spring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
