Sidewinder ‘Thunder-Run-Fun’

[Buster696]

I know a lot of us have not had the chance to run our sled yet so I thought I’d post a couple videos to help us all get through this feeling of anxiety, getting ready for the upcoming season

Friday last week (11/25/16) I had a chance to run my sled or should I say break in the motor making 30mi of pulls at Excell Motorsports ‘Back 40’. Wow, this sled pulls and pulls and pulls some more. Aaron Excell & Harold (parts guy) also jumped on for a few runs too. I could only make 4 or 5 down & back full runs before I had to rest because I had so much arm pump. Too much fun! I’ve owned SRX Big Bore sleds and also ran a RX1-Warrior CPR Turbo on the trail for one season before moving the sled over to the tar and grass. Be prepared for the power and pull as most of us have never run a 200+ hp sled on the trail.

Thanks again to Aaron Excell at Excell Motorsports for the fun. Enjoy!

That's what the sled feels like. My prediction was between 125 and 130 with good clutching and studs, stock. Could be more, we will see. A lot are adding power so the MPH will only go up from there. I just loved the way this sled soaked up the bumps in this field with the speeds we were running between 98~101mph in that distance. No studs

Thank for posting the video's..it's nice to see more and more first hand experience on these sleds.

Np @ctdmax The more I dig into this sled and learn more about it, the more I like it.

Crap Im not on FB, but have been able to view videos on there without being a member.

That is too bad, not to have a killer top speed video on this site makes no sense.

I always put all my videos on youtube as its wide open for anyone to watch

thanks
