Sneak Peek-Wausau

[TD Max]

Well tomorrow is the day. Planning to land early so we can hit the Do booth first before it gets mobbed.

My dilemma is this:

LTX DX all the features that I want not sure I want black though

LTX SE white blue Right color, wrong front shocks, no heated seat (easy enough to fix all of this)

RTX LE blue/white Right color, right-ish shocks, shorter track probably more fun


Leaning towards the LTX SE sell the Float 3's add something custom and the heated seat.

Looking at Renegade Adrenaline 900 ACE for her, but Doo isn't making it easy to add the features that I'd like to like the deluxe gauge and QA rear suspension.

Less than 2 weeks to decide...

go with rtx le better all around sled just for shocks alone

 

[TD Max]

Hard to get past the LTX SE and I can always add shocks. If the RTX LE was avail as LTX I'd be all over it.

Well depending how you ride get ready to fork over some more cash to either revalve the shocks or just getting new ones. I seen a LTX SE with a heated seat. So I thought they came with one stock.

I've been in contact with Ian at Monster regarding shock work.

I guess tomorrow I'll see what I find at the show.

Right on, I'm going this weekend. I'm excited to see the new sleds!

I was same place then the red / white/ black LTX DX started to grow on me. So that's what I ordered.

I thought the 2015 ltx dx only came in black.

Go with the blue and white le. Best shock package and with the 1.7 in track you can probably go everywhere the 137 skid will go. If you go tomorrow count how many lugs touch the ground, when I counted, the rtx had 15 lugs on the ground and the ltx had 16 lugs on the ground which came out to be around two and a half to three inches of a bigger foot print. IMO, that's not gonna bridge the bumps that much better or keep you from getting stuck in deep snow.

They have a red/white/black color option for the DX as well

I really dislike the diagonally laid segmented SR Viper lettering on these things. Only the LE and SE have options that aren't lettered like this and the blue/white is by far the cleanest look in photos. Need to see in person.

There will be eventual 2 up use (assuming I keep it long enough) as I have Grandsons at 2 and 5yrs old this year but they'll be front seaters for a while yet.

I like the idea of the 1.7" track for the traction. My main shop approach is on a slope so getting a studded sled inside without driving it could pose some issues. I'm a bit concerned about the added noise.

 

[TD Max]

Well I'm officially sick of the frustration and indecision. I'm leaning towards the RTX LE white.

I see the fit and finish complaints. I wonder if some sort of flexible edge trim wouldn't help close some of the body lines up?

The slight bit of "slop" in the steering on brand new machines concerns me. I guess it's not much different from Cats of old, but I'd think that they could find a more snug heim joint.

I hear ya!! I'm having trouble choosing what I want to do. Hopefully the show will help me make up my mind! Cause April 15th is coming quick! And I'll have to pull the trigger by then. I am sick of thinking about it as well!
