First rip on my Rtx Le.....Fast (On GPS)

[stone88]

This is a whole new Primary. Are you sure it needs to be machined already! Cripes give the guy a chance.

Yes unless you gear up it shifts the same as the old one, OSP tool should be here in the next couple of days then off she comes LOL

So a little over 90 on GPS..... My buddies doo would say 128 on the speedo and would hit 107 GPS on perfect ice.

Hahaha they're not that much off, it's not apex we're talking over here. They're about 8-10 off on top end. I need to gps and see if doo fixed it, which I doubt

 

[SWTURBO]

No its not an Apex it's a snake !

 

[marc001]

My 2014 apex was within 2 mph of gps.

 

[BlueByYou2000]

Yes especially when SW is modded. My stock 800 would beat mpi turbo viper

Are you here to Troll? If so, your time is short. Consider this your warning.

 

[SWTURBO]

Well this all started with 6" of snow in Bancroft and a second test run !
Let the games begin and let'er snow .

It's funny that I can't find any active threads anywhere on here talking about the 850 but there is one on doo talk about the sidewinder that is 163 pages long. Now tell me who is really worried about the upcoming season..
And yes, I do jump over there from time to time to laugh at the yellow goggle people. I keep my mouth shut though.

Haha.....yes the SW dyno thread on DT is the only action! And the 850 guys get so mad cause many of us are Yam lovers and 4s for life.

I just like speed and power, and even though my 12 cat turbo was bad news, it was fast! Im watching these SW's this season, love seeing 120 tapped by a factory stock machine. The 12 cat I had was nowhere in that realm until I had Ben do his thing, but stock this SW is the real deal. Nice to see!

Cleaned it up. Lets keep this about Newtrons Sidewinder and encourage him to find its max speed safely. Simple.

Well you could be right about tapping out at 123, but i'm thinking higher. It wasn't over revving when it was 125/126 on the speedo.

Here is pic of the primary. Still some overdrive to have I think.

My primary has about half again higher up the sheeves than yours,mine is all stock to,and at that tie unstudded,running on grass only in 400-600 feet,tops out at 93 mph speedo and 93 gps,so once track is done spinning speedo is very close.

 

[snowbeast]

Unfortunately that's as high as it goes on a stock primary you will need to machine it to go higher. If you look at the top there are black lines that showsyou are slipping. All in all you have to be happy

Not true,mine is ltx -le 137 stock everything,and mine shifts to w/in 1/4 inch from top but that's with broken in 8dn apex belt.

 

[stevewithOCD]

I just need 1/4 inch & i'm hitting' the dirt road behind my house. 1/4 inch!
