They have both had fingers pointed at each other for spray and lower end work. One them either has or has someone with a track dyno they have significant amount of time on. Both of them have built some really fast sleds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortune46x Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm not saying Rick doesn't know how to clutch a sled... But no serious race team will put a "kit" in a sled and run it as is. No serious race team will buy off the shelf parts that they can source themselves from someone like Rick. And I have YET to ever see a NSP sticker or ricks magical helix in any snocross sled. I can tell you that the clutches change non stop - thats why the pros use two sleds in practice, or you'll see the mechanics changing complete clutches out after laps have been rode. So many variances and variables that one kit across the board will never work in any snowmobile regardless of XC,SX, drag racing or even trail riding. if anything the kit will be a base line at best for tuning. I have ran stickers on my stuff for products I didn't use because I was paid to. I had a oil deal with a company years ago , and would literally fill their containers with rotella because it worked better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member EvilBird Posted August 9, 2022 Gold Member Share Posted August 9, 2022 I talked to Rick on the phone once years ago when I first got my 2015 Rush and he was friendly and helpful. But his rants are painful to read. The one he claimed Polaris calls him for info was fucking ridiculous. and Cutting holes in Ice for testing because thats the proper way was a good one too. Now he bashes Poo left and right. Strange Guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was neat in its day but todays sleds are not setup for speed runs. By time you slam them down which I'm not sure you can in stock class and are limited with stock engine calibration with all the safe guards to protect a motor just not worth it or completive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they are they greatest thing known to man. there are a few applications where they work nicely. the triple 4 strokes have some harmonics issues that tear up other clutches and the PB seems to hold up well at low power levels. a doo 1200 being a great example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
