Maverick302 Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Can you take a snowmobile to the MX track? Through the trails? No, but you can do that with a quad and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassup350 Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Can you take a snowmobile to the MX track? Through the trails? No, but you can do that with a quad and then some. Actually I have taken my sled on a MX track so your wrong on that pointless statement. And you can take a sled through trails unless your an idiot who doesnt know how to ride. I'd love to see a quad go half the places i've gone on my sled. Maybe in NJ or Pennsy or some wheres south, i'd get the banshee snow ready but up here theres no getting the quads out, unless they are 4x4 with really good tires or a track kit. Why get a quad ready for winter when you could just get a sled. You have to rejet and get the tires and all that prepared for snow when you could just start up a sled and rip on it.

JTQuad Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Whooping sleds on trails is very possible. But this also depends on what kind of trails we are talking. On a open fire road style state groomed trail Ill be the first to say no way a sled is getting beat but on the tight trails like me and a few other NYers have I smoke every sled on the trail last year. I was handleing the snow whoops like i was on dirt, right across the top. In the turns i was sliding it out sideways and ripping. On tight hardpacked trails i was pulling the skiis way up over every bump. I think though that this is the only situation where a shee will beat a sled in the snow. The frame setup and suspension is sick on a quad compared to the longer heavier (i think) sleds. Just my opinion - JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not a trail in Canada, well, if you want to call it a trail. Going 120 isn't my cup of tea. I prefer more chalengine things. And shoe me 10 places where you have PROVEN your sled goes 120. Not just becsause "I saw it on my speedometer". Nonsense. I rode a 500 for a good number of years. Smoked anyone I came up against. But, everyone else I talk to smoked everyone else in the he said she said bull. But, I did it, done it. Been there. Raced snocross. And I can tell you, that in a tight, packed trail, like 90% of the trails here in NY, I can WASTE any sled out there. Because every Tom, Dick and Harry goes 120MPH through the woods. I don't need to go 120 to beat people. And this nonsense about wasting the time to "set-up: your wheeler for the snow, shit man, it took me about 2 hours to weld my ski setup together, another 15 minutes to prep and paint them, and another 45 minutes to change the spindles over. I bolted my paddles on, and re0jeted. ABout a half hour there. I say that's not too damned bad. I have spent ALOT longer prepping my sled..... And I do own a sled as well. So I don't want to hear any nonsense there. I have ridden sled and ATV's for quite a few years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
