It's going to take alot more than a sled on a stand reving the motor to impress me. It did sound good though but I like to make it back to the truck without a rope.

Thanks!!
u got pics of your wifes sled with the cut paddles and broken track? How did you break the track?
Do you have to remove the track to break it?
K
Nope. It's easy. Drill the fiberglass rods from the inside of the track opposite the paddles then break them with a big crescent wrench. I think I drilled right next to the driver lugs.

Yes in action would be better. Hopefully get some shots of the e-tec this winter. You won't see many of them cause of the work that goes into the motor a lot of machining. But the builder make bomber stuff. The p tek bb I got right now from him is running close to 195hp on pump gas.

Yup.
14' XM front end
2014 ctr shock with tmotion and SHR T3 relocate.
Lots and lots of other stuff.
I have taken about 25lbs out of it.

I'm still on my 2012. Upgraded to T-Motion last year. This year put on Skinz airframes. Totally stoked on my XP!

Bore is a 860, fully ported motor bottom end an top, custom head, twin pipes, an a lot more other goodies. It flat out rips.
Hoping to ride it with the person I know that made the 985 an see how it does with his sled.
I have 2 09 872 and a 13 pro turbo, and I like riding my 872 the most!

Well the girl forgot girl forgot to leave her key for her sled. I think she really wanted to ride my 16 t3, so I now get to ride my old bb xp for the Xmas break. 195hp of fun.

I put too much time and money into this sled. Every mod has shown improvement. It's basically an XM in XP plastic. Have to keep riding it until I decide to get a gen4

T3 front end with oilite bushings
Powder Pro skis
T3 skid relocate
C3 post forward mod
KPA turbo with external wastegate

Upper airbox delete
DJ clutching
Quick Clickers but I never change positions
Full vent kit

I got carried away building this sled. Bought it used cheap so I figured it's cheaper to build a bad azz sled this way than from new. A good bunch of the parts were bargains, used or Ebay.
I have found that I really enjoy building sleds.
My current project is an 04 rev. I love the Rev chassis. It's just about ready to hit the snow again.
It's getting a Racers Edge skid with fox float center and titanium sprung zero pro rear shocks. 163 x 2.5 OEM skidoo track. 9t 2.86 drivers. Stretched chaincase. 19:48 gears. DJ clutching with roller secondary. 07 hollow jackshaft. Eliminator boards. Post Forward mod. Can. When I bought this sled it still had the factory shovel and probe under the hood. Motor is stock for now.
This one has been fun. Parts were cheap except I had to buy new drivers from Avid Products. Most of the stuff was lying around from 10 plus years ago when the Rev's were my primary sled.

breaking the track ????
Forgive my ignorance..... but can someone explain to me what "breaking the track" means, and what the advantages are?
What handling differences can be expected?
We own one '09 and one '08 800R XP 154"s.

Breaking Flutes
The older tracks have solid 16" fiberglass rods. Some people drill the rods grab a crescent wrench and break the rod so the track bends outside the rails. Just like a flex edge track. Just like t motion mostly useful for hill climb racers & hard pack / spring snow conditions. Unless you have ridden a sled with tmotion and liked it. I would suggest just buying a new track.

Just made the jump from a vintage yamaha ss440 to an 08 summit. 
I see no reason for me to upgrade until it runs out of steam.

Been able to compare to the 850's?
