None of the other 3's 600's are close to my RX. I've raced them all and none of them are close.

I have a stock Warrior and in a 1/2 mile against a 800 Rev HO we where dead even all the way, and we raced three times! My secondary is set at 90.
On another occasion I raced a different 800 Rev HO and the first race we where even the second race he pulled me by a few lengths and the third race he had me by about six lengths, so I tried something; I rode the sled into deep snow and then got back on the lake after the cool down and I gained 9 MPH on top end :roll:

A rx1 is not a sled to race in all conditions. The harder the surface the better. The stock 03 track and the weight in an inch or two of loose stuff is bad. A foot of loose snow just about anything would out run it. Sad that rx1's don't go fast in snow.

I don't agree that weight is a factor in deep snow performance. Its all in back end. With mine (see sig), given the choice between racing on hardpack and in a foot of virgin powder, I would choose the powder in a second. In a foot of snow, the hookup is unreal, and the shallow approach angle lets it float for high top end.
