Radar numbers from Rib Lake Wisconsin .6 mile calm wind

[MrSled]

Uhmmmm, Mr Sled, numbers weren't all that impressive? I have an 07 Phazer that is telling me they are quite impressive! lol.
Any of those out there? Always wondered if they would do a true 80mph?
Mike

I have nothing to prove, I just brought my trailer full of junk to the ice to show, how slow I am. I never claimed I could make a sled beat everyone else but I know how to build stuff...LOL

 

[MrSled]

Curious on the Vector numbers?
Was it a stock or modified version and being white, was it the 08 40th model?

All the Vectors were stock to my recollection. My son drove 2 of them over and over and was only hitting the 105s on them... he was MR 105 for the day...LOL

Tom are your topping out at 118 becuase of your gearing? I'd assume you should be in the 130 range with over 200hp?

I could not get hooked up at all. Even Ryan drove it and it would spin all the way thru and I could hear him spinning as he went by. It should pull 130s but with the sled sitting like a 4 wheel drive truck and no traction, the numbers were not impressive.

118 spinning all the way down the track is impressive to me!!!

Sure is!

here is our result from mallard lake,-7c,a little wind in our back
fastest to slowest
98 t-cat 132 mph
07 apex 129mph
07 turbo apex 127 mph
05 mach z 127 mph
03 rx1 120 mph
06 nytro 114 mph
08 kawasaki brute force 650 71 mph
it was a good day,the top 3 sleds have speed tracks with chisels,geared and clutched,the turbo was slower than the stocker on top,not sure why,this guy is fairly new to turbos,but the mid range was insane,in 1000' he was 7 mph faster than all of them,all for fun

All sleds had trail tracks and carbide studs.

The mph seem to be a few low as the ice wasn't rock hard.

I was suprised my Dads 06 nytro pulled a 106.9mph once its all stock except smaller clutch rollers put in it.

Tom,

How many miles on the SE?

Bone stock, 102 studs or otherwise.

Max RPM?

What pressures do you have the Floats at for trail riding?

3000 miles, Bone stock with 2 studs per row. RPMs are really low at WOT 10200-10300, Floats are set at 65.

Thanks, I wasn't sure what the average top speed of these Vectors were, 105 is respectable and plenty for me

Hey Pat, the 07 apex 129mph can get there with only chisels, gears, clutching and a speed track ???
If so , that is very impressive. I would love to know more about that set-up.

 

[yamahinn03]

Im assuming you all went right home afterwards.......... and not across the road to Camp28 and have a few sodas.....

 

[kinger]

I'm more interested in the guy that blew is track out whats up with that!?!! That always scares me on mine I'm just waiting for that thing to go boom at 130mph!

The motor of this sled is not stock for that speed regardless of clutching.

 

[pat the rat]

he just bought the sled from a trail rider,the guy was 70 years old,he told him he had never ran it full throttle,too much power for him,believe me when i tell you this sled is stock,he's running tall gears,a speed track with many chisels,overdrive sheave and so on but motor is bone stock,
