Pretty sure I have personally helped swap 6 junk case 800doo every one with a hole in the fr of the case That’s what I hear everyone say but I had zero issues with mine and it wasn’t babied. I’ve also read they changed the design in 11 and only the 10 and olders were junk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went over it yesterday tube clamps were a bit loose so I'm hoping tightening them up will give me a few more rpm's, she's only turning 7500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped to a 14x144x1” hacksaw with 228 woodys lake racers for this weekend. You can feel much less resistance at higher speeds with the narrow short lug track.

Anler Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 the etec is a great engine regardless of if it isnt as fast as a 650 or other 600. Its plenty good for that demographic. Rode droocephuse's xrs 850 on Saturday. That etec 850 is a ripper. fun as hell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting The 800 Cat didn't beat either of those sleds in stock for or dealer prepped at the shootout this year. The cat was the slowest 800 class sled there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtssrx Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 As a matter of fact the 850 Skidoo is like 8 tenths faster out of the box then the cat in 1000 feet. a tenth is a sled length. So that's 8 sled lengths faster out of the box in a 1000 feet that's embarrassing for Cat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
