I’m really liking my new doo expert but I really wish that it was a 15” track, I think that hinders it in a substantially in steep tight terrain. Yes I’m sure the 16” wide climbs better in steep deep but overall I wish my expert was 15” wide and no sway bar. That would make it even better

The sway bar is a couple bolts and it’s gone... not once have I looked at a line and said ah darn should wish I could climb that but I can’t cause I have an 1/2” of track on either side of the sled. If 1” of track in 3ft of snow hinders you substantially from riding a line I’d hate to tell you this but it’s probably not the tracks fault.

I am willing to bet in most snow conditions if you gave 90% of the riders out there the identical sleds one with a 15” wide and one with 16” wide track they couldn’t tell the difference.

You could get rid of that track no prob and order the free ride track as it’s 15 wide. Probably lose a couple hundred bucks but easy mod

Snowmobiling is 90% mental, the other half is physical….

whats the last 2 stroke that you owned and blew up in 2000km?

If I recall a 05-07 rt1000

Naw, the RT blew up with less then 800kms, on the Icefields in Pemby. I had it a month LOL.
2000kms was an average. I got around 3500 on one of them 2strokes once before throwing a rod.
But KB get's great life out of them, her last sled when we sold it had over 8,000kms. Doubt it saw WOT for more then 10sec at a time though.

Super easy to blame the equipment when one fails and ends up in a tree well. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been upside down and noticed I forgot a scratcher down and blamed it on my poor line choice

16w track is actually a 15 3/4”.

The shorter the track along with being narrower is going to be harder on gas and belts. If I remember right a 146 is also a 2.5” lug?

What is so different. I thought the lynx was supposed to be kinda like the assault.

never met anyone who liked their assault lol

 

[deaner]

Why do you think I no longer ride a 2stroke, I blow them up in very little time, never really have one survive much over the 2,000kms and I've owned well over 40 2strokes over the years. I just as well tape the throttle as it starts off good but once in the play zones its stays on the bar all day.
I refuse to ride the wife's sled because I know better.
The 4stroke challenges me that way, you ain't riding that at WOT much ever, but age is catching up, i'm feeling it now.
Running at WOT is easy

I might be even more extreme. I ride at full throttle most of the time. I took my sled into the dealer and they thought their computer was broken. Guy was like .....it says you were at full throttle 96% of the time!?? I just told him that's how I like to live my life. Super super extreme guy

RT days, we’ll my point is your comments have no validity anymore because your experiences are 20yrs old.

Todays sleds are much further ahead of old tech.

Even on the groomed trail passing familys i bet

Yeah when you factor in an average of 15 kms to get to the alpine in most riding areas that’s a lot of full throttle on the trail. I bet Kesterke isn’t that high and he’s an animal.

Full throttle on a trail is fine with me, but when its a busy trail like boulder. And you blast people with ice just to race back to the truck ur kind of a dick lol

 

[Lund]

Hahaha, you believe the RT because it came up with Tex was my last blow up LOL, that baby blew up twice and no it wasn't.
Hey, I burnt down a few Phazer motors back in the 80's too hahaha.
Lost count on Cat cranks in the 90's.
Then switched from pistons one season to cranks the next on my Doo's from 2000-2010
Now I split the service between a 2 stroke and 4 stroke depending on conditions, hardest part is adapting for the ride LOL.
BTW. selling my 18 Cat, gently rode, moving to a 23 9R.
The 18 is OLD TECH....hahaha

The trail is where I ride the slowest, can't afford to replace a track....

Are tracks really that chitty these days?

Yep, all my riding buddies have had to replace at least one on their g4's. Some two or three.
They always beat me back to the truck...
