Still have this project in the shed. It was just under 400# with and 872 and twin pipes. C3 chassis, Nextech skid, 165, maybe need to find a donor G5 turbo ……..
Have to check when i get back in town. The UFO’s were Lithonia from Eecol Electric as are the 18x22’s. i think most of even the brand names are made in China anyway but at least have CSA certification.
UFO’s will not meet the advertised 50,000 hrs. We have had 8 of 16 replaced within the first year under warranty and then the 4 more in the 2nd year. The shop environment isn’t really harsh so we replaced with the 18 x 22 High bay units. We have 50 of these going on 4 years with only 1 failure...
Agree with Maxwell on the air only shock. I know Fox has made big improvements but still feel a $$ sting from the early days of trying to figure them out. When we switched to Coil-overs on the bikes it was night and day difference too. If I’m still wanting after the FreeRide shock then will...
I have a set of the HD springs but wanted to try the rear shock first. Yes they put the summit x rear shock in the T850 and it has a higher rebound and compression setting but I wonder if the adjustability would be better in different conditions? HD springs with better adjustable shock is worth...
So far it seems to be suspension setup. Changed the riser and that helped but I’m not a fan of the rear skid shock. Have an Expert take off to try this week and we will see. Shock off the FreeRide might be an option before doing away with the coil springs. Turbo is great in the technical stuff...
Rode my Expert for 3 days then got distracted with a 850T. Been riding many years and have never had a machine that worked so well out of the crate. So far I’m still thinking the Expert handles technical stuff even better than the 850T but we are slowly making changes to see if it can work the...
As more people ride this sled in technical terrain they will be amazed at how well it behaves and how smooth and predictable it is. Those that want to just point and shoot in open areas might think they need more but this sled will get you wherever you need to go and best of all ..... no...
Moisture will accumulate inside of covers due to temp differential between inside and out. Had mine pop a belt too but was really hard on that side doing some sidehill riding but the case as completely packed with snow. Need to keep an eye on those situations for sure but the new case should...
Reason they use a chain is because the TS drive framework flexes so much. Can't keep a belt drive aligned or tensioned never mind trying to keep planetary gears engaged properly. Was going to put one on but decided to go YETI instead.
