Hi otis/ross now that i know your name lol what is the most top speed you have run w/your rx1 out acrossed your lake at any time last year or this? Gps or radar. And for the record,studding if you were to run far enough would hurt top end more than help,but it is a bitch to stop w/only 96 studs 
if all of you guys rolled on at say 80 mph and than ran 1.5 miles you would be surprised at how close they would be. Now my take on all of this is traction,clutching,and filters work best for trail riding when on/off throttle period. Now my cousin and me were out on little ossipee lake in waterboro,yesterday,and my bonehead mistake of advancing my tps to far was causing way to much heat,and a loss of top rpms to boot,but here goes,he has a little more traction than i doo,plus i have a cat skid w/huge rear springs that will not squat at all under aceleration,maybe if you can hook up maybe a little,but on ice not even close,just spins free for 50' at least and he has almost the same exception,1/2 of his are megabites both have 144 woodys 1.075 stock track,and this track is good for top speed,we ran back and forth either direction,one way w/wind to our backs was 4-5 hph faster, now i have been consitantly running on some other ponds w/varying conditions same top speed 115-116 gps depending on how much snow you were pushing,and or how much pure ice you were traveling acrossed for what distance,ice makes alot of heat w/out slide lubers,so if he pulled me off the line it would take me all most 1 mile to overtake him,if we were on snow were i could use the extra power of the filters and clutching,i would pull right away 5-6 sleds easy,if we rolled on at say 70 or so preety even,his best 115 mine yesterday 116 now i still think my mistake of tps and lack of revs was slowing me down,just my 20 cents worth he he have a great day guys.

Hi Pete............. 132 on speedo 116 radar.
I believe what you're saying when racing from a roll at 80mph. It seems that unless you're having issues, they all run about the same from 80 to top.
It's from a roll at 30 mph where this thing shines. The TEAM 58-38 .46 upshifts so fast that it jumps 3-4 sleds and stays there! If anyone's sled is spinning from a roll at 30mph, then they need to make studding changes to make use of the wasted power. The fun factor increases big time. :lol:
I'm studded w 192 mixture 144- 1175 woodys and 48- 1180 thrusters. I don't rreally lkike the Thrusters, as I broke off 8 of them racing on the ice last weekend. They shouldn't break on ice!! :roll:
I don't feel I've lost any top end due to the studs. You need to replace the helix you have with a 58 start angle and hold on!

Hi ross,yes i would like to give one a try,what spring are you using,is it the 140-240? That top speed seems just about right,for a well tuned rx1,but i am still not happy,i never am,lol i would just like to see 120 gps,once would make me smile Now i tried the tps dont do it,unless you want to loose top end power!

pete........yes 140/240 red/black. See OTIS radar results posted. Top speed was down as I moved weight off the tip. Played with springs. 112 radar best I could post yesterday on good conditions. 125 speedo. Hole shot was great!! I't appears the setup I'm running now is best at 1,000-1,320'.
I know I lost some top end. The more chizels I add the slower it seems to go on top.
