Its thru bolted on that tab so we’re gonna look into making a reinforcement steel strap to go behind them

Have a place like send cut send, or @fortune46x cut and bend new tabs, and gussets, then weld them on, in place of the weak factory ones.

Dont post pics of the break until you have a parts made, and sell them as a kit

Ice sled

Soft ice is really hard on front ends.  Ice is in general, but soft ice seems to be worse.  The Procross would crack spindles and rear suspension mount brackets (and coolers if you are a 4-smoker), the Polaris would break a-arms, and you should switch out the bolts that come with C&A's for something better, which is pretty much anything.

looks like the valuations of used RXCs just went up....

There are a couple barely used 2023's floating around MN for $14k.  Yeah, no.

Maybe next year will be like 2020 where we had to run around and try to round up 2018's and 19's to run stock classes with.

I saw order numbers in order by quantity this weekend. Kloety better be giving those things away if they want to race an updated 25 next year.

Also on that thought do ES RXCs count towards racer production numbers?

they should unveil an actual racer only 129 RXC at haydays with C&A's and the big brake kit... Just in case this winter is a repeat next year... imo

[Crnr2Crnr]

oh, and they can send all the unsold, poorly clutched ES RXCs to Alaska for the f'ng Iron Dog too...

Love to see it, but I don't think it'll happen.  I'd bet Jr. at Polaris wouldn't sign a waiver for the season.

what's the minimum build # ?

paging @fortune46x... 

watching the ice races this 'season'... it's not an efficient chassis, belt drive or not.

 

oh wait... there's magic gearing now according to Beetlejuice

I thought it was 250 but it may have gone down to 100 in the last few years

they can race any production sled that meets the minimum build number, such as the dominant 7000... I believe.

so in theory they could race ZR 129's... right?  granted they'd need better shocks and some fine tuning but...
