Have a thread going on another forum.

It's clear Revs blow engines all the time, new or old.

King cat reliability seems proven.

Rev clearly wins with the chassis, but c'mon.

Is it really worth several more thousand dollars for a sled that grenades all of the time?

Guy acts like the Rev compared to the King is the second coming of Christ.

I have a 1M chassis cat with an 1150 on spray, an 08 XP and my dad has an 05 rev with about 3000 miles on it. I like the power of the cat, but riding the revs is alot more fun. 05 has had no problems. thinking of putting the 1150 in a rev chassis.

rode a king last year for a considerable period of time and when they run good they do well but i didnt like the piss poor suspension and the fact it feels like your going back into time... but both sleds serve there own purpose for me i could hang off the side of the king with next to no steering used and it carve all day but the rev is much funner for jumping and exploring imo...

This is little offtopic but does anybody make pipes for Cat 900 that fit to REV chassis?

My pal is really tired of blowing belts and engines so he thinks changing the motor to Cat 900 (or even bigger) may be a good option
