Not that I have heard of yet. I know guys would retrofit Doo sno-cross toe holds onto their sleds back around 2015 or so. Could look into it?

Not even toe holds that I’m really thinking of but something to close off the sides of the footwells.

I thought it was interesting that Herf said they can run a significantly softer valve package in the Catalyst vs Procross. Also interesting the impromptu drag race in the second vid at 5:40... the Catalyst surges ahead by a few sled lengths before the 4 stroke starts steadily reeling him in. I think Arlaud's 4 stroke had the highest top speeds at Pine Lake last year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Arlaud's 4 stroke had the highest top speeds at Pine Lake last year? When we had Catalyst #1 out testing for break in, we had a 4 smoker, another Catalyst, and a 24 Polaris and lined them all up. Catalyst #1 was the slowest off the line (fewest studs), Polaris and Catalyst #2 were pretty even until I'd say around 70-75, then the Polaris started to pull away. The 4 smoker was a sled length or so behind Catalyst #2 and the Polaris until about 40-50mph, then it walked all over the other 3. Mile or so long drag race all on ice set ups. We were also told you may not need to or want to run the thicker sway bar for ice, but we fought that bitch in there. Have to grind one side of it and fight it in from the clutch side.

I think Arlaud's 4 stroke had the highest top speeds at Pine Lake last year? spring rates may have increased... and it supposedly weighs less. per the fiche... RXC uses 3703-704 120lb ski springs, same rate I use on the stock 500 rather than the original 140's (with the sway bar). FTS spring is 3704-039 (250lb) and the helper is 3704-036 (170lb) (same as 17 to 23 RXC) Torsions are 2704-026 & 2704-027 (common springs going back to 2016) FTS is 4704-145 (same as 23 RXC) RTS is 4704-130 torque does that...

You think you'll be able to coax more top end out of these Catalysts? I haven't looked...what kind of speeds are the R-XCs geared for out of the box?

The guy that owns them is taking care of all the clutching and drivetrain stuff on them. I was just the assembly bitch and helping get a baseline setup down for ice racing. They are back to his place already. Edited December 22, 2023 by racinfarmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

122 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Pine Lake Race Next Weekend Current ice depth at start/finish line area is just over 10”. We are closely monitoring the forecast and will make a decision if we will be a go or not on Saturday afternoon, 12-23. Let’s hope for a cold snap so we can go racing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I'm going to be surprised if Pine Lake or Ottertail happen. Need 12" or 14" for the DNR permit. Last I heard earlier this week, the lake at Ottertail is still open. Someone drown on that lake last year on the race weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palu49 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I’ve heard of 101 gps on the ice on a catalyst so far. Stock gearing is the fastest setup available right now as far as I know. I just ordered slugs, schrader caps and the tools to do my own shocks this year as well as a bunch of clutching stuff to test for an ice setup if we ever get any weather to freeze things up around here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wondered how much the racers like the BOSS secondary. While great for consumers due to lack of adjustment needed, how does it perform compared to the "legendary" Cat reverse cam roller for example. Are racers doing torsional conversions on the BOSS to get more speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the lower 48 can’t even put on a simple ice race in late December. The lake races came about because there wasn’t reliable snow for a proper cross country, But yeah, climate change is a hoax. Where are all the dumbass climate change deniers now? Still arguing about the “stolen election“ in current events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
