4 alphas in our group. All bigger guys. No rails broken. Track clips are gouging the front of the rail by the anti stab. But it’s Nothing serious. I rode the sheet outa mine this past weekend. Smoked some hard drifts. Side railed the trail all the to the truck jumping of trial sides. No problems except my old knees. And to my pleasure I’m still on the original belt. That’s rare for me

Tighten the track if your clips are gouging.
They stretch a lot and need to run tight

Looks like they went to a straight through bolt for the rear arm to rail and a considerably better design for the washer to bushing. Looks 100x better

I like the small bump stop on the back of the screw through the limiter. When can we order parts?

In them hills.
Same place you did
Ah, thought maybe they started deliveries on some of the snow checks.

If Cat is gonna go with zero inventory, you would think they would consider two or three production runs.

Do they work well?
Can you still do it manually?
From my understanding it replaces the three position dial on the QS3. Haven't heard much negative about the system. I think it would be alright. I am always trying to clear ice and snow out of mine to switch settings for the trail or jumps.

Ya or it’s froze solid and you can’t adjust it at all. Remote adjust would be nice.

Probably driving his grandma to church on Sunday.

I beat the chit out of my sled through the whoops several weekends and yes I cracked a rail.
Not sure what mountain sled can withstand being run like a snow crosser.
I have bent rails pounding doos through whoops also.
Overall the toughest sled I have owned and zero questions asked when warranty needed.
