Not greg b Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 The only thing they might be good for is blocking roost when you do a belly pan slide in a corner that has berm turning left when the groomer has made one pass. Most people will put a ski up on it and bank the corner at any speed. If you come in hot, kick the sled sideways and get it on top of the berm in between the skis and the track, you can hold it wide open sliding on the belly pan and have the sled chain saw it down and blow snow into the woods like a snow cannon. It won’t work going slow as you will either tip back and get stuck or tip forward and drive way. You will blow the whole corner out. It’s so fun to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not greg b Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 It was easier to do on the old ass draggers as they had a long front end. And it was super safe to do because you were so far off the correct side of the trail. If someone was coming towards you hit the brakes and all was good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 8 hours ago, ZR6000RR said: what they don't do is make your sled run 20 degrees cooler than without them. They did 25 for my 2018. It works. Could care less if you disagree. I did the test and the math. Fuck you are one huge pile of shit! Only time I had to deploy my scatchers after I put my flares on was on super hard pack and ice. No studs on sled. 95 -105 compared to 120 -130. it's not a matter of disagreeing, it's a matter of you being incorrect. 8 hours ago, Palu49 said: Procross sleds don’t even run 120-130 consistently. They run 105 or they run 160+ you need to realize the sled he rides, where he rides and how he rides is special and different from everyone else. there's no other obvious explanation. they 'work', for him. I even scoured the Internet trying to help him with validation, posted videos of a sled with flares and without, but I can't find anyone's post or claims to validate his 'truth' 8 hours ago, racinfarmer said: Bingo. if tunnel flares gave an actual cooling advantage, wouldn't the XC racers have been running them since they came out as I've never seen a picture or video of scratchers on Herf or anyone elses sleds? I have seen ISR approved hood and side panel approved ventilation, but nothing regarding adding plastic snow deflecting running board extensions... so one could assume they're legal right? 25 degrees... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Why don't you guys start a separate flares work/don't work thread and have your own little bitchfest. The gotcha deal was kinda cute at first but it's now very stale. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will instantly be on page 511 and the 858 will be the most reliable sled ever built with tunnel wings on it.

Just in case any of these new Cat sleds make their way to Alaska. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
