Worst sled - 2001 RMK 800 156”

Best Sled... that’s definitely tough one 15 T3, Sidewinder or Alpha (can a guy have 3 here)? Or 4 my 2005 King Cat was awesome!

Worst mod - hog wild porting on 2001 RMK 800

Best mod - Ekholm Tunnel with drop & roll on 1997 Yamaha 700mm & 1998 SRX 700 156” hands down dominated in the day!! Oh and the 270 MCX Turbos on my nytros!!

Best mod on every sled is a Muffpot. Cause nothing beats a hot lunch on the mountain. Worst mod was the Jaws pipe on my ‘12 ProClimb. Worked good but I couldn’t handle the plastic melting and got rid of it. Best sled was my 2008 M8 162 with full SLP Stg 2 kit. Worst sled was for sure my 2005 RT 1000. Just an all day battle against gravity trying to ride that beast.

What was the piston and head on? I had his pistons and 13.5:1 head on my 800 and it was a beast.

 

[SLEDBUNNYRACING]

Favorite Sled - 1998 Doo Summit.
Best Mod - adding fuel shut off on dash of 1998 Summit. Bitch to start when it rolled.

Worst sled...well I’ve blown every motor on every sled except my XM’s. Otherwise I love all the Sleds I’ve had.

2012 Pro RMK 800. Couldn't even pull stock clutching. He told me my crank run out was too much and I needed a bottom end before his kit would run properly..... FML

Really lol. Mine was a 800r in my 09 summit. It worked good. But I also had Deano modify the power valves and DJ clutching

Youll be ok, they are still a good sled.

Worst sled - 2008 SkiDoo xp 800 (it seemed to always be broken)

Best Sled - A tie between 1997 Skidoo MXZ670 and 2011 ProRMK (still going with no issues ever)

Worst mod - Tunnel extension on my 2010 A/C M8 SnoPro (i have recently been enlightened to the fact that it's cool to a have short tunnel)

But is there anything than a Toon boat though? Every dollar spent on a toon boat gets 5 dollars worth of fun!

 

[tex78]

True that

 

[Bulldog Racing]

Worst Sled: 1995 670 Summit - worst POS ever
Best Sled: M1000 - passed down to the son and still running strong
Worst Mod: 52mm Carbs and Gagne pipes on the 670 Summit
Best Mod: Complete SLP setup on the 1000 - Really woke it up.

 

[lilduke]

best sled: xm''s or maybe the 670 summit in its day.

worst sled: 2010 dragon

best mod: gearing down my 163 t3. or maybe the head and twin pipes on 700zx.

worst mod: 880bb on my 2008xp.
ripped hard, but never lasted more than 200km between rebuilds.

Best sled for Reliability - The wife's 2003 summit 600, add fuel/oil pull rope and go, never spent a dime on that sled other than when the rider skill level ran out. Sold it to our friends as their first sled and it's pushing 8000km now.

Best sled for performance - My 2017 Axys, absolutely love that thing.

Worst sled - 2002 summit 800, constantly fixing that POS, finally put a long block in it and sold it. Wife's 2008 XP 800 reliability was ok but what a pile of junk to ride. I couldn't figure out how she forgot how to ride until I tried to ride that thing, worst handling sled I have ever rode.

Best mod - as far as money vs gain - corking the bars on my pro cost me $10 and went from still cold on high, to too hot to keep on high. Also the burandt boards on my 12 pro were awesome compared to the stock boards.

Worst mod - everything I tried to get a garbage XP chassis to perform well
