It's pretty sweet sled got to take some pictures and ride it, it pulls really nice and has torque the Nytro has some serious competition and should be worried.

It was even the GTX SE (600lbs dry, the TNT is 489 on scales at doo show) Transfer blocks set to the thickest setting and still would pull the skis abit and less then great snow conditions.

Hey is your 800R studded?

I'd like to run you if it is!!!

Hope they do better than they did with this year's 800R. Neither of our motors survived Cain's Quest. Both needed new crankshafts - pathetic.

Well if the FX Nytro should be worried about that, you must be scared to death with your 800 HO, cause I never had a problem with a supposedly fast 800 HO last weekend. escape.gif I think he's on here quite a bit too, pretty quiet lately though.... bottom.gif

Don't really care for the look of the 4 tech either, not nearly as nice looking as the XP.

which TnT was weighing in at 489? The e-Tec? What happened to 399 dry?

Agree on the bold. I think it's a god-awful looking sled.

Never said it was you, I was referring to a fast one... bum.gif You must be one of them guys who need a trail of banana peels to find the Fielding Road too.... rolleyes.gif Funny, I left all kinds of them on the trail, figured they would be easy to find...LOL !!!

The 1200 TNT was supposed to be at the lake today. Any reports?

I've seen the Nytro on the trails, and the TNT last night at the show. IMO, the Nytro got hit way harder with the ugly stick. The Doo looked pretty good.

Like I said I'm in Florida I know where the feilding road is just didn't have the time to get there last weekend.
The boys all know I love to race win or loose and I will race all day long.
I guess we will have to stew some blueberries lol

1200 TNT was at Sutherlands Lake today they were trail riding it and 600 e-tec they weren't on the lake guess it was in pretty bad shape.

I was talking to my brother got to ride it he says it was way stronger then a 600, and had top end torque more like a 800 and that it would run to 90mph very quickly on the trail and would easily hit 100mph on short straights headed over towards Stevens Mtn.

Weight wise no heavier then the old rev style just abit bigger body work.

What's that stuff have to do with the thread topic?



I also heard the 1200 Doo was stopping for testing in Cape Breton on it's way to Nfld.

Anybody try it out, or know if it did?

The 1200 was supposed to be at Gasit on Wednesday April 9th in Middle River for a test run/day.

I ran the e-tec a while ago and found the torque and poer to be great. Very smooth sled as well.

Wish I could have tried the 1200....

I got to try it out while I was over in NL and I must say, it was a blast to ride. The throttle response was unbelievable compared to the yami 4 stroke, in my opinion. I was on the X and I couldn't believe how it handled. You can't tell it is a 4-stroke to be honest. It turns up so fast and corners so well. It absorbs the bumps so well and it wheelies as well, yee haw. I had a blast with it, I never thought I would consider getting a 4-stroke, but after riding this machine, I would definately consider getting one.

I really think you should consider getting one Tousan, especially one equipped with GPS, at least that way you might finally find the Fielding Rd.... slaphappy.gif And who are you trying to kid anyway ? Throttle response.... rolleyes.gif We all know the only reason you're sayin you'd consider one is because it's a banana. rockernana.gif


XXX4Play
I know of one that was ordered maybe will get to run it on the grass next fall if in comes in before the last couple of races.

To be honest, I would consider getting one. Not only because it is a "Banana" but because it has the ride and everything to go along with it. It is lighter than the Blueberries if you want to go that way. And as for GPS, I know very well where Fielding road is but I was just alittle toooo busy getting ready for alittle more important race. Please don't think that I am scared of your "Banana peeler" or any other sled for that matter. I will run anything anytime, but as you may have heard, our hard work and testing did pay off in NL. So I am happy I never took the time to go up playing. Plus, I only have a trail sled anyways. smiley-faces7.gif

LOL ! You're too easy to get goin, you should take a day off and go sleddin for fun, all that race stuff got ya stressed out. pointlaugh.gif I'm glad you liked the 4 tec, I hope to get a chance to ride one myself next year, still find the XP nicer lookin though. Myself now, I would have to ride the other brand for a little longer than a 2 minute trip down the last section of the Oregon trail to pass judgement on a "heavier, less throttle responsive" sled though. And lighter doesn't always mean it's better, but I'll give them credit, for a BIG 1200, they sure managed to get it down in weight, but at the sacrafice of about 10 less hp than the smaller, more powerful 1050 Genesis motor. Oh well, a couple hundred more cc's and maybe they'll have better luck next time. I think the next few years are going to be good for everyone with all this competition. And congrats on your placings last weekend, I didn't know you were actually racing.

So what's this about a trail sled ? Trail sled my ass, only stock part on that is the handlebars (I stole that line, thanks).... frech11.gif

And btw, I won a few less important friendly races too a couple weekends ago, didn't need any parts or testing or tuning at all, you may have heard about it.... escape.gif
