Scratchers deployed.. no f'ng problem. Granted, that covid engine was already on it's way out the door when we got it but the fucker ran hot hot hot. Obviously it didn't get run with a fresh mill this year to see if it changed on temp ranges. Edited March 19 by Crnr2Crnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like running a full tunnel enclosure on an ice racing sled. they simply deflect snow as advertised by ARCTIC CAT. During testing I got red flashing temp light multiple times with the flares on and only dropping the scratchers turned the light off. on my SP's (without flares) and with the scratchers deployed my tunnel bags gets snow all over them, chunks of snow/ice fly up all over the place and due to aerodynamics behind me at certain speeds there's a snow tornado 🌪️ behind me. I think @Not greg b has seen it and I know my brother and other riding buddies have. I also run the abortion hangers, not the stupid cables.

I have and have had several Pro Cross sleds. Either stock or add on, the flares worked to better cool the sled. More snow in the tunnel = ? I know it's early, but you do the math you fucking idiot!

I have tried them and extended flaps, all that shit . I ride when the sun comes up and back by 2-3 pm. I ride tons of hard pack, matter fact I would say I run 70% hard pack. The faster procross 2 smokes are very finicky and almost always run hot. Best set I have tried for scratchers on procross 2 smoke and 4 are the ski doo tunnel scratchers. They throw tons of snow on the upper rear of the track and up and into exchangers. Never seen anything work better and tried all of them over the years. These ski doo tunnel mounted ones work so well usually you only need one down as they throw so much shit https://ty4stroke.com/threads/brp-ice-scratchers.154825/page-7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have scratchers as well, but I rarely deployed them. Only on bare ice conditions. They took the snow that went on the tunnel and put it inside.

p51mstg Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I had tunnel flares on a fan cooled Indy back in the 90's and they did a great job keeping snow off my back. Didn't do shit for cooling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crnr2Crnr Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Since it's already chewed up on the bottom from being backed over by the studs... I just sent my brother the part numbers to order the SX flap, reinforcement and straps to try next winter if we actually get snow to ride on.

jonlafon1 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Would like to add that the 2024 RXC has way better cooling then previous procross sleds. In 250 miles with some of that on really hard pack it was WAY better then my 2021 800 bag of turds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

favoritos Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 @Crnr2Crnr, Funny you mention the DIY version. I've made those for years because I got tired of the customized stock version. I noticed that I was collecting chunks on my back in the corners with the Catalyst sleds. It took a few miles to remember that it's been awhile since I've had a sled without flares. It's not a big deal, but I often have my jacket loose. Those snow buggers get chilly when they land in the collar. I noticed the part numbers for the Catalyst flares and hoped to see how they were shaped. I still haven't seen anything. I've still got a sheet of polycarb stuff sitting around. If I run out of crap to do it might be worth mocking up something. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted March 19 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 19 So I’m building some sleds on the Cat site and I just requested a quote for a ZR 858 129 SnoPro and I’m wondering what the differences are between it and and the 137 skid especially the weight transfer or are the skids essentially the same.🤷🏻🤔❄️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
