yeah- older tracks are more ply/heavier duty tho- rev-xp chassis- runs a single ply track to cut down on weight i assume... and there is lots of talk of them not being that durable.

thundercats are pigs, heavy as shit. fast on a lake but thats about it

 

[Eagle]

thats good info, thx

I happen to have a lake <1mi away...

 

[CamaroSS]

yeah but just to have a faster top end isnt worth the sacrifice in handling. most 600s can do 100 usually pending the clutch setup. why worry about going much faster

 

[Eagle]

Ya, 100 was plenty fast for me

Tcats are hard to get hooking, but got fucking loads of power.

James rode mine once. fatboy got that bitch to hook hard... once it hit the grass under the snow the skis were about 4' off the ground. he got out of it pretty quick

geared for about 128 mph stock...

 

[Eagle]

If its pic'd why wouldn't it hook?

How do they ride... that's the real Q here.

 

[The Broken Regal]

Like a fatguy in a little fishin' boat on a lake

 

[Eagle]

so they dont float very well?

never seen one of those boats go very quick either.... but if these have gobs of power....

failed analogy perhaps?

sorry just repainting the picture of james ridin on a snowmobile pretty much bottoming out.. then we he gets on it the sled immediately shreds about 6 inches deep of the ground as its getting traction

 

[Eagle]

Fast and heavy... I like that style

 

[Eagle]

Panda....

you mentioned a cheap sled just to get my feet wet. What would you suggest?

if you get one the best option is going up north and riding. you cant beat groomed trails. its an awesome time. i already got a 3 place trailer too :coold:

just get a group of us to head up there for a weekend. would be a blast

 

[Eagle]

I'm sure it would be a blast up north....

Lets say I wore my carhartt lined overalls and jacket, a good neck/chin/head covering, normal gloves and my sorel boots. Does that cover me for gear?

Ive had/ridden nothing but Yamaha's so my opinion might be bias. Same thing can be said about my dad. A good starter sled would be a older exciter, phazer or vmax. Riding around in a field will get old fast. You will want to trail ride. IDK how you would go about doing this but all you need todo is get from your house to Ringwood. You can pick up the trail (rail road grade) from there and go really anywhere. Snowmobiling is expensive and sleds can be a money pit don't forget that. Like motorcycles don't buy a sled less then 600cc you will be wanting more quickly.

st korn what kinda 600's you riding than did 100mph? My Vmax 600 did about 85 maybe 90 on a good day. Others did about that also.

 

[Eagle]

this is my kinda sled:



skip to 4:10 or so if you dont care for dumb crap

 

[Yaj Yak]

what about the doo's i listed. that one for 1800$ is a steal.. as is that one i posted for 2k. do it.

ill be home today eagle. lets do shit.

well if you want to be technical, it was a 580 2 of them actually. they topped out at around 105
