Im not a huge fan of the Monashee Lodge, stayed there one time and i got 5 spiders bites on my neck and shoulder ... still have light scars 3 years later. Baseboard heaters ... not much room to hang stuff... i dunno, i guess id stay there with the way revy is looking now, but it's usually full...
HOLY CHIT !!! i wouldn't of even took the new room ... id be reporting that hotel too !! that is messed ... sorry to hear about your experience.
Never had that bada luck with hotels. Worst stay i had was super 8 in Revy, only because we were on the side with the tracks and omg ... banging all...
Ya good point, most of the time putting aftermarket wires on cars-trucks they have larger cores in them which means less resistance but more power makes it to the plugs for a better spark, so the least amount of resistance is best for performance. BUT... what the heck does this do to sleds ? i...
I just got off the phone with Hillcrest, Days Inn, The Regent, Super 8, Canyon motor inn, Sandman & Wayside, Gate way and a few others (forgot name) the town is fully booked for the 13-16 .... Why o why didn't i do this a month ago !!! haha o well looks like ill be heading somewhere else for my...
So as i was working on my sled today i thought i would change my Plugs out since theyd had been in there for a long time and it seemed to not be running at it's full potential last time i was out. When i pulled the wire off the plug the clip inside the boot was cracked and broke off onto the...
Dam !! so you have to drop 2 teeth on the drivers hey ? im pretty sure they are 9 stock. That would kill some top speed and maybe even some track speed... wouldn't be such a bad thing to sling a heavier track though (not much), i think specialty said it was 3lb heavier than the challanger lite...
Originally i thought thats what the thread was about (Big Iron), then i learnt it was about something else, sorry for the confusion. O-zone is still a good guy.
Still have the Challanger Lite Trencher on my 159 XRS aswell, i guess i have learned to ride it because i really don't have a problem, i wonder what id be like with a half decent track :P Could i put a 2.5lug challanger extreme without droping and rolling ? or is there not enough room? Drop and...
Why's this thread called Big Iron Shootout if it has nothing to do with the big iron !?!? haha !
No need to be starting the drama .. just let the 2 individuals that were involved work it out...
The story he told me was that it started as just a day out with the boys, calling up some people to do some highmarking and some racers, see who has the best sled, started out with a handfull of people, then more came the next year, then more, then they told there friends to come and watch the...
Thats another topics all together is how you ride them compared to a 2smoker. If you have ridden a 2smoker most of your sledding days it's going to take some serious getting used to riding the 4stroke. You can NEVER be off the throttle with a 4stroke unless your in a climb recovering from a...
I just got most of my upgrade parts from Specialty sleds in edmonton. They have really nice Billet big wheels tunnel stiffeners and foot rests if your looking to add to the look of your machine. They carry pretty much anything you would want. But for specific clutch kits or suspension packages...
Got them both XP and X-RS. I love my X-RS it's the most fun best handling sled i have ever been on. Feels like to me the XP needs more work to ride compared to the older style revs. Also the XRS will out climb or boondock most sleds that arn't too moded. If you do get the X-RS make sure it's the...
Xp 163 will see HUGE improvments with clutching and gear. Go with a cudney racing kit or a Dynamo Joe kit, also the 163 will need gear reduction aswell. It's a 21 tooth top gear stock you want a 20 tooth. This will help your clutch temps and burnng belts. Another cool and fun mod is adding...
On the weekend i was talking to a friend of mine that helped his buddy put a clutch kit in his XP. He said they impacted the puller back and forth with a 1/2 impact and a serious compressor along with a torch heating the fixed shive for about an hour. When it seemed all was lost they gave it one...
Nytro's are worthless in the mountains, stay on the trail if you buy one. My 2002 Skumit was outclimbing 2 of them in 2 foot fresh on a hill, we were highmarking at the top and they made it half way and had to turn out. Unless your going to drop 15g's into it and long track/turbo it, don't...
I always thought that the ski's in the air is what you wanted. Not to the point where only half your track or less is touching but a few inches off the snow, thats what iv seen most mod sleds ride like now and back in the day with oel 670's and such. Ill give him a PM and see what he says. Im...
