MtnDoo · Jan 28, 2010

Here's a few pictures of our project.
Thanks to Lynn Felker (Felker Motorsports of Loveland, Colorado), Brooke and Calvin for all of the hard work in building it!

CLICKY: 1200T 163"

Highlights:

- 485lbs Dry
- Powderlites Stage II, Polar primary
- Hurricane Built Motor
- Holz Suspension (163x3"), WSC spindles
- Avid Drivers & Case
- Lots of goodies & custom work.

- track was very heavy + 22lbs
- C3 CF chassis could drop another XX lbs. next season.

- Not quite done yet, venting to come and Hurricane fuel pump too.
- skis are placeholders; PowderPro's.

Break-in miles will be done this weekend. (~10hrs)

That is a sick sled, great job.

very clean and I like how it has xp plastics. looks like a factory sled but better.

FUN!

ps- what'd you use for headlight covers?

XP Summit · Jan 28, 2010

What was involved in getting the XP skins on there... that sled looks very sharp!

MtnDoo · Jan 28, 2010

WatchThis!!! - Headlight blanks are from a 600rs.

XP Summit - XP bodywork was not a problem once the suitcase was gone, and using a Polar clutch. Bulkhead is same for XR & XP. If you tell PL you're doing XP, they'll change the cooler and charge tube for you.

There's no doubt they make power but man it looks heavy, there's a lot of metal there.

MtnDoo · Jan 28, 2010

It came in lighter than we expected - shop weighed it today w/ 5gal fuel, 1.5gal coolant, and not sure how much oil. In that state is was 540lbs incl fluids as described above. So, we calculated about 485lbs dry, give or take - yes, including all of that metal! I suspect if/when we move it to a C3 chassis & bits, possibly a lighter track we'll be back down to XP expectations.....but with real power.

gotta tell us.....boost #'s and HP #'s!

brycter · Jan 29, 2010

Looks sweet. Great job

MtnDoo · Jan 29, 2010

<<Motley Doo: gotta tell us.....boost #'s and HP #'s! >>

Boost will be run at 12-18lbs. (9 for break-in miles)
Estimated HP should be around 350 give or take. (no dyno)
Stage I kits were running just below 300HP.

Hurricane Performance did a lot of work to the motor including ductile iron sleeves, larger head studs, deck, o-ring, JE Pistons, and a ton of work on the head. They're working on better fueling now too.

So, once we get it dialed in, it's made run the bigger boost numbers.

How much are you into her?

NorthMNSledder · Jan 29, 2010

Nice looking sled, I can't wait to hear how it runs!!

MtnDoo · Jan 29, 2010

<<How much are you into her? >>

I suspect I could add it up more or less and PM ya, but I've been avoiding that realization.

I totally understand that!!! LOL if you don't put the numbers together, then the little lady can't find out either!!:face-icon-small-hap

Very nice Mr. two-litre!

The fellas at TSS & C3 sure set the bar for light weight pretty high.
I've left a lot of possible weight savings on the table at this point, but it's just our 1st pass doing a 1200T. We'll do some revisions after the season.

;-)

Brycter - the good thing was that I sold two sleds (Nytro & race sled) and that covered the donor sled and the turbo kit, so the rest was the "real" cost. Hence not too concerning to the family CFO.

hey mntdoo sweet sled!!!!!hey what the story one on the stm brace?

MtnDoo · Jan 29, 2010

Thanks!

I figured since we're going to push the motor to higher HP(stage II, III..), why not use a brace that does two things that are probably needed. Its a complete billet alum tower and brace. Just a brace can be had for much less. They make nice stuff.

PGTDragon · Jan 29, 2010

I am curious, how do you like the 163"x3" track? Is it a significant difference over a 2.25 and is it worth the weight? I will be swapping out my 5.1 at some point and considering the 3" if it is that much better or just eliminating some weight and going with a PC even if it is a cat track. By the way... Nice sled.. I think that it should be a blast to ride..Enjoy.

MtnDoo · Jan 29, 2010

PGTDragon,

Jury's out on the 3" until I get some time on it in the deep. My biggest concern is the weight penalty. I thought about porting it, but figured we'd see how it hooks up in the fluff first. Obviously we can spin it, but it adds 22lbs over a 2.25 or 2.5 if I recall correctly. If it is not notably better, I'll drop back to a 2.25 and save the weight. I just couldnt stomach the thought of the 174" - length, weight... I still want the sled to turn, and 163 is big to me (always been a 151/154 type). Our hope is that it proves to be an advantage with the increased paddle area.
