how much actual chassis was changed? IDK the RXC looks good though, I dig it.  edit: 137" ?  hmmmm... 

pile on boys, this isn't the brand specific safe space... and don't forget to in on one.

RXC uses the same rotor as Procross RR sleds.  The Catalyst RXC is delivered with pads that are the better version used on earlier race sleds.

Many of the brake components are interchangeable with Procross.

Ahhh. Yeah the old rr and the rxc always used a different brake from the rest of the line up and there was a big difference in performance over the standard one. 

So I got my Catalyst skid out and compared the IFP front track shock that came on my ATAC sled to the AC5S I'm replacing it with. There is no obvious stiffness difference between them when the AC5S is in position 3, and the AC5S feels softer in 1 and 2. I came to this conclusion unscientifically by simply cycling them against the floor with one in each hand...they seem most comparable at setting 3.

Both shocks needed about 50-60 lbs of force to get them moving. I measured this a basic bathroom scale.

Oops...

 

 

But hey... everyone seems to like the actual chassis!!!

Same thing was happening to this one. The piece of shit was bogging out on the climbs. If only Textron hadn’t fired 2/3rds of the engineering department, maybe they could’ve offered a factory reflash.

He needs to do a proper belt brake in with it. lol. This about 400 miles stock on the 600 from last year.

I pulled an 858 secondary yesterday on a kids sled that rides hard. Looked exactly the same. I almost think the helix would work good if it was a .36 or so compound instead of a straight 50/50 progressive. I have some ideas up my sleeve to try on it.

It has to be in the belt drive. I moved the offset around and no improvement.

It's 100% the rider, textron built sleds are way better than the old school ac, mnstang says so

👍 It takes a big man to admit they were wrong

You’re slacking. It was up a while ago. I bet it’s similar to the other 2 that have gone down based on how he’s moving that clutch back and forth.

Bwahahaha! What a fucking retard! What’s next Krom, going to post some videos about the “brand new” MY12 Pro-Cross sled? 

Out riding now. The local weather has been saying a few inches over the next few days for like a week now. The snowmobile sites are saying like 3 feet now. Someone is full of shit and I think it’s the snowmobile clubs.

I have ridden about 900 miles this season 

Last Thursday. No snow at all.

Still waiting for you to list all the years the Iron Dog was dirt and mud. 

2015 was a great year of snow at the iron dog. Back when people bought sleds

You claimed multiple years. Let’s go, list them out.

I bet 900 more than a lot of folks, including me. Does starting the sled count for anything. It should for Poo folks if it doesn't blow up

Started mine twice so far ... and will be doing it again tomorrow when we load up for our U.P. departure.  I won't get 900 miles logged, but I'd be happy for a few hundred and getting the sled officially done with break-in.

My 2017 still hasnt blown up or caught fire. Guess I am one of the lucky ones..

Rode a little so far. Hoping if the snow keeps up today and tmw get some miles in this weekend.
