Looking for another SX or an RXC ? Just got back a week or so ago. I’d love to tinker with another SX but with ongoing projects, I don’t think I’ll have time to mess with it too much. I think a low mileage XC with some clutching and gearing will get me there this year. Slim pickings out there right now. Found a 19 XC but, would prefer a 20/21 model. And I ain’t paying those idiotic prices for a new one. Those numbers just make me giggle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnstang Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Is cat even doing an xc race sled for this year? Haven't seen anything yet, I guess there's always a haydays release possibility.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all keep waiting for the big update but….just small tweaks and BNGs. Still, the chassis is the best out there so, I’m fine with that for now. It’s getting really clear that Doo and Poo are catching up though. Well, Doo anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been pretty normal for them to do their release at Hay Days. @Zambroski It's pretty unlikely that you're going to find a '20-'21 race sled. You'd be better off looking for an RR and tuning it the way you want.... I LOVED the graphics on the '21 race sleds......

I think the availability will help make my mind up for me. Next year I’ll have more time to shop and tinker with my Frankensteinian plan for a sled.

Ziemann Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) I know you're a speed nut, but you might want to consider a 600 RR (yeah it is pretty slow but damn reliable). I'd be wary of the '20-'21 Cat 800's after the injector issues from last year..... The long lead times to get parts if you do have an issue will eat up your season....

I don’t need the 800. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune46x Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I am waiting to hear back from cat... I talked to them about getting a R-xc if they were making them this year (they are) and said if they had any left after racer requests I wanted one. If I dont get a r-xc I will have a lynx in my garage. My local dealer still has one that they put into "demo" so its not for sale unless I really had to have it.

What's Elias on this season, haven't been on Facecrack in a while. I'm curious to see if they start bringing the 600R over here which could work for the type of trails I like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a talk with "a guy in the know" and he said BRP has no plans to bring the race sled over yet. Elias will be on a skidoo yet. Until his contract is done (haydays) I do not want to toss out who he is going to since he himself has not addressed it publicly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s it going on your procurement of OUR pair of RXC’s? I may have a line on a decent 20 SX. I’ll know this weekend. Decent=not clapped the fuck out.

They could for XC as long as it meets emissions, which it easily could if they use the normal 600r production mill. Please tell me Elias's primary sponsors color is orange 🍊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Stopped at Thomas to get a NOS snow flap and also picked up the cat 50 years book and DVD... Highly recommend! There's just no other brand with this kind of passion, period! Last weekend I went to Detroit Lakes to get a very rare and hard to come by cat print. I also got a truck from this guy. But boy oh boy what a treasure find.. guy had multiple buildings completely filled with cat memorabilia, collectibles, racks of Arcticwear, tons of machines, and about everything else. And I guess the good stuff is in his basement! It has inspired me to step my game up, I've been searching and doing some buying. Princeton is coming! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting if you end up on the Lynx. That topic came up Thursday night at a club function. One guy bought one just to flip because he's figuring they'll be limited to get and demand will be high. Of the guys that rode it they still like their own sleds which is a mix of Renegades and X-RS over the Lynx for aggressive trail riding. Nothing wrong with the Lynx just more of a crossover off trail sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
