So much raw grunt in that thing. As for the op slinging mud, cats 800 is better than the other 800's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Cat has been welcomed into the world of EPA compliance, their 800 class sled is just as shitty as the Polaris and SkiDoo competition. Fact. You can laugh all you want, homer.

Deephaven Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 So you are implying Z that this is the year they finally figure out the Ctec 800 and make it run right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no they haven’t. Allegedly, they make anyone who doesn’t want their shit to blow up, pay for a software fix that will keep that from happening. I’d like to see some performance testing of a before and after that flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not implying that at all. I’m SAYING the ctec is more reliable than the other two. That’s it. I don’t know what “runs the best”. Fact is, one that is running less than optimum is going to be more reliable. Ie, a 8/850 pushing 145 hp is going to last longer than one pushing 165. If you want an new 8/50 class sled that is 165 out of the box, be prepared for puston swapping early….or warranty work if you are inept. 6 minutes ago, SayatodaU.P.eh? said: No, no they haven’t.

mnstang Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 The ctec is pretty reliable and it runs very strong. I don't care about dynos, they run good with real nice powerband and good pull for riding. Pretty sure the ctec even beat the Polaris 840 in a shoot out.

The great thing about riding a child’s 600 sled is, if I’m ever passed on the trail by any of those hyper 850 class sleds, I can always just say it’s because of the engine size. That’s what I plan to do anyway….if it ever happens. Then figure out how I got on a lake or fucking gay ass railbed trail. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deephaven Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 By running right I was implying staying together, not crossing a pond. We know they are 5 hp down if not more, but they haven't been staying together better than the rest either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your shit goes down….and you are waiting on dealer parts, start looking for a boat. Your sledding season is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
