I wonder why Dawson hasn’t been out with Matt lately??

He's there at the beginning of day two but breaks down.

Can we all take a minute to appreciate Dallas putting that NA 850 everywhere the turbos go for 2 years? Dudes a ripper.

These episodes are getting ridiculous…

Ya kind of cringey like the Deagans. I have met Brian and my son rode at their house he was a nice guy (this was before their YouTube channel took off).

When you go full throttle over the 3' whoops... sometimes

I have put on over 10K miles on polaris sled belt drives since 2016 and no issues

Rather have the option to change a belt if needed then a tow or a heli ride out if a chain lets go.

fair, but alot of us have never had a chain fail in our entire lives so its like why add a potential fail point?

Budlight is for confused people . lol

and for people that don't like actual beer.

A lot of us haven't had a belt failure either. Get the tension set right and it will last with no issues.

Ive known of 2 chain failures, one on a Sidewinder and one on a G4. Both had to be dragged off the mountain and a day of riding was lost to get the sleds down. Both have gone to belt drives since and only blew 1 belt that I recall due to being to tight on initial setup, but instead of a day lost riding it was only an hour.

if snow gets under the belt, she pops... end of story... and them poo panels are leaky...

Zero quick drive or aftermarket belt drive failure on 7 stock or turbo sleds, nor have I seen one fail in the groups I ride with. Last weekend my son stopped and said he heard a noise on his belt drive side, the noise was a broken exhaust spring under the pulley which we removed if he hadn't caught that it would have shredded the belt for sure. Our sleds get thawed out in the trailer each night and we actually open the side panels each morning and have a look before we head out. I have had 2 chain cases fail in the past 35years though.

Panel fit on our 22 Matryx is way better than my 23 expert

I'm talking about the holes in the hood by design not the crack gaps...

queue the video of Matt tuck taping the vents a few videos ago due to clutch belt slipping...
