They have a shorter cooler.

So they didn't use the shorter cooler in the T3 ? I see the part number is different. I haven't looked on the production model yet just the proto demos.
I also had an overheating issue on my last ride, granted the conditions were hard pack. But I have ridden worse conditions on my M8 without issues in the past. Two sets of scratchers might be a must...
T3 Front exchanger in front of drivers is same as 13 and 14 and Summit x and SP '15, the T3 has a reduction in the main tunnel heat exchanger the front half, which does very little of the cooling anyway, if it is overheating, it is boiler plate and most any other sled would as well...the prototypes did have a 50% reduction as well in the front but after testing it day one engineers knew they could not do that.
One thing is actual radiator size, but I think the reduction in actual coolant from the smaller rad must also play a role in cooling on low snow trails
Then add the three inch track and more snow kicked out the back with less for cooling on the rads could be the difference from last year...
Didn't your dealers tell you that the T3s are not made for trail riding they are a deep snow machine.
Duh !!! You drop yours out if a helicopter into perfect snow?
Come on ? You still have to ride trails to get into the good powder.
3 inch tracks are a pain to keep the sled running cool plain and simple on any kind of hard pack.
The piping is still there....as it has to get to the back of the tunnel from the front, so it is less coolant but in testing it made no difference compared to a 14, in very hard conditions a summit x or summit sp can overheat as well....even with scratchers...as if it is super hard even the scratchers are not kicking up much...lucky these are rare conditions in the mountains.....
How hot is TOO hot? My 163/T3 has been running in the middle at 4 bars.
I love it that the 'bad' threads in the Doo section are related to minor things like overheating on a firm trail vs. blowing belts/engines. What a great problem to have vs. the other brands. I am happy to deal with that to gain the fun of riding a 3 inch track!
