Engine Tech builds the motor. Its possible but it fits best into a ZX or Wedge or GenII chassis. There was one built in a Rev chassis but we all know the Rev was a chit chassis.

The Rev chassis was so baaaaaad that hundreds of thousands bought it just out of spite.

I had the pleasure to drive the 1160 in the rev chassis. Don't think it had much more go then my twin pipe bigbore RT. I wish the guy that owned it would of taken it up to the hills. It was 12:1, not sure the pipes were allowing it to make full potential in that chassis. Was a nice sled though. From what I understand LHFs has the latest porting spec, and higher comp heads

Yeah I agree the Rev chassis sucks... If you could stuff it in a Pro you might have a winner.

I wish you ran into longhairfreaks sled and wrote it off so I'd never have to hear about it ever again.

That won't happen..... I have already asked for a race from the parking lot at Boulder to Turbo, and he respectfully declined. That he isn't a trail rider.

Ill race anywhere except the trail up the mountain. I need at least 2 beers before I hit the top.

That thing wasnt set up when you rode it. I bought the motor from Eric and when I pulled the weights out of the clutch it had 62 gr weights in it. My 700 summit runs 62 gr weights in the mountains. With a Team secondary I was running 78 gr weights in the mountains. Now I have a paragon and Im running 81.5 gr weights for race day.

When he had it all he seemed to do was play with clutching and jets. I personally feel a lot of the issues, with the way it ran was the angle the carbs were setting on. I think he should of made a small indent in the tunnel so he could of got them sitting flatter.

He was riding Frisbee on Saturday. He passed us on the trail, we passed him when his buddy on the Polaris was buried, and then he passed us again when we were relaxing by the green tower. His Turbo XM sounded wicked

Read the title and thought you had a conversation with him... not literally ran into him.
Must have been a pretty good impact. Did you exchange info and go through insurance or cash deal right there? :D

He rode my sled out & I rode his XM the rest of the day. Went back to his shop and fixed my sled. Rode the next day. He gave me a pipe. I bought him a bumper. He's sponsored and I just didn't give a chit. No insuranse ,, Turns out his sled was damaged worse than we orginally thought but hes got 2 new ones now.
