When you guys practiced the drill, something to try is 3 Part Communication. Basically you are radioed and they say "I am at coordinates XYZ." You radio back, "I understand that you are at coordinates XYZ." They then confirm (3rd part) "Yes that is correct we are at those coordinates."

Always a sick video! Next year you should do a crazy build on your 9r maybe turbo it,but like you said its reliable so donno if id rick that

you need clutchkit on the 146 turbo.. no more belt problem and feels like it have 30hp more :D

Need a 600 test. Like others have said aluminum heat tape. U changed spark plugs, but did u check the heat rating seeing that its warmer out. Wicked videos. I hope the warm temps set up a good base then more pow.

Air temp shouldn't influence which plug you run. These machines have thermostats the chamber temperature will be the same regardless.

[@wilschell9984]

Can you do a time laps of what it takes to shovel out when you get really stuck.

[@drymillsfarms9139]

Rumor has it skidoo only used 3 motor mounts instead of 4 which is causing all the belts blowing prematurely. Supposedly switching them up on the 25's

[@NightshiftCustom]

Not sure if it's just me but the polaris seems slow compared to the doo when your in the deep Kinda like watching in slow mo haha

[@leftyeh6495]

Sugar snow. I hit some yesterday and was just chewing and chewing.

Mostly the snow in the one section. Also if I took my tunnel box off it would make a big difference

[@DDrenegade6632]

The 900R looks to work great, but it sounds like a dying chainsaw in videos lol!

[@phildolecki2598]

My thoughts on the Doo 146's blowing belts is they are on the pipe all day. It's great to have that kind of track speed but lets face it, your in deep snow with lots of vertical. This is why they engineered longer tracked sleds to do this kind of work. At least nobody is complaining that the Doo's are flawed yet, but I'm sure there motor life is going to be drastically reduced too trying to make them operate in those type of conditions and doing the work of longer tracked/lugged configurations. They are fun to watch though!

[@MuskokaFreerider]

In 75km through? This was the first pull of the day and only a 40 second pull from where Hugo left the trail.

[@Reichaus]

Back in the good ol days, 240hp, 1ton, 4 strokes would get 1500-2000km out of a belt easy. 75-300km?! garbage.

[@TheIrongutz]

@@ReichausThat’s because of Japanese engineering-Yammy!

[@jeeenzify]

wrong, my shredder 3700 turbo, was horrible on the belts. but now i have a clutchkit. feels like it have 30hp more. and no belt problem :)

[@gordieandamanda_5460]

Also, if you broke in the belt instead of putting it on and wide open right away on the mountain, most belt companies want 40km to 50km of break in. I don't know all the engineering and reasons behind it, but there must be a reason they say no full throttle for the break-in duration. Put your spare belt on when you leave the truck and break it in going up the trail and switch back before you hit the powder, bit of a pain but that way when you do need it and have to ride hard right away it's already broke in and should last more then 75km.

[@GreatLakesLogger]

A stiffer lug track and a turbo on the 9r could be a good build

[@rock-uu7qr]

Completely defeats the purpose of it

NA power is more impressive to me for sure, but I come from an automotive background. It's easy to make power with a turbo....not so much being NA.

correct me if im wrong, on the days you dont want to deal with any problems you pick to ride the ski doo, and when you want the precision you pick the polaris? (or atleast on the boosts)
