Okay guys, Scotty is obviously a very happy man with his Thundercat, and good on him. This thread isn't here for all you guys to jump all over him, there is no PERFECT ATV/UTV for everyone out there, and Scotty has found one that he enjoys and allows him to get out into the great outdoors with his kids and have some fun!
I'd much rather see more families doing that, then buying X-Boxes and Playstations, putting the kids in front of the TV and playing Candy Crush on their cell phones........
Lets stop with the BS bashing........

No bashing , but if Scotty keeps riding that thunder cat down dirt roads at 85 mph , scottys kids might not have a DAD....
that is my point... Let alone in a subdivision .

Remember for every 1 inch in tire size over the stock 25 inch tires your real speed is approximately 4% faster then the indicated speed on the speedometer. Your speedometer does not get re-calibrated when you change tires because the pick-up for the speed sensor is in the transmission and the display will always assume 25 inch stock tires are on the ATV
Meaning if your speedometer is accurate with the stock 25" tires and you install 28" tires and if you see 70 mph on the speedometer your actual speed or real speed is 70 mph +12% = 78.4 MPH.
Yeah it was very slow to get there, but it was geared pretty high. You could watch it gain speed slowly 1kp/h at a time lol

u could check it against a GPS as some have a speedo function., which would be very close to actual speed. I will ask you not to do it though, as at that speed chit happens fast and a high speed roll over is no fun. it takes vey little to roll, and if fatal, leaves little ones without a dad. That is maturity talking, take it which ever way you like, but attending funerals is usually no joy.

Scotty these guys arseholes pucker at the mere mention of cat and they will bash till there fingers are sore lol tons of videos on arctic chat showing Tcats running 85 mph bone stock. Usually below 2000' though. They don't run as fast here at 3000' and above. If your getting those speeds something is right in the universe. 77-80 seems to be the norm around here. Your quad came stock with 25" MAXXIS 4-speed tires on it.
Make sure you do the burp bottle mod if you like doing extended high speed runs. They build to much crankcase pressure and will blow oil into the airbox ( and pop seals).
Just to stir the pot a little lol 2009 tcat smoking a 2012 1000 canned ham. Ostacruiser wasn't happy lol
