The chassis handles phenomenal. But it’s the expert package so it’s designed for flippy turns unfortunately for the climbing guys
So what exactly changed on the chassis for the expert so now it is designed to be flippy?

yes I understand that but let’s be real here, for any one that has rode any well running mod sleds this turbo is by no means some kind of monster, it’s 165hp in a fairly heavy chassis!

I disagree a little. I’ve owned mod sleds and turbos all my life. The new doo is the tits for those always seeking a little more power. It has a little more with warranty. I'm not sure what mods your talking about. But A alpha with a linderman build 925 puts out 190hp. It won’t touch the t850 at 7000’. Also a well-built big bore requires tuning and set up to keep it running good. Hopefully the skidoo requires only premium fuel and a dedicated owner to ride it often

If you were riding valemount this last Saturday, everything was a trencher. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that much wet soft snow before. Always thought my t3 got out of the snow well, it was a trenching dog Saturday.

Thats odd you should say that as I was riding with a very well running linderman 925 and I would honestly call it a draw if both sleds started and pulled a fresh line from bottom to turn out, seemed to me if you could track poach even a bit the turbo would build and carry very good track speed but it just couldn’t pull it on it’s own! Leads me to believe it needs a bit of gearing or helix change? That and maybe a skid from that wasn’t built around the time of the first moon landing!

Not burning the 925’s. They are angry. My brother ran 9lbs boost on his.
I was mostly hitting up the guys that buy new sleds and do heads, pipes, reeds, for a little extra. Like me. But now. Just buy the T850 and you get a way bigger gain.

What if they just made the track easier to move with bigger drivers and rear idler wheels.
