top speed 2003 rx1

[wkeggenhoff]

What should the top speed be of this sled ? All stock in ideal conditions

My 05 in probably the best conditions ever other than glare ice would hit 98.6mph on GPS at an indicated 111mph. My buddy who was with us that evening on the same exact sled got 98.7mph. The day before in the same location (Redfield Reservoir in NYS) I had an indicated 117mph. This was out of about 6 consecutive runs. Each run came out very close in MPH on GPS. Every run was 98 point something. Both sleds bone stock.

I had 122 on the speedo a couple of weeks ago in a 3/4 mile run on a snow packed country road , could have gone a little more.

ran 116mph on radar stock. stretched it to 136 and ran the same speed. my 05 last year would also do the same speed, also stretched to 136.

118 on radar on glare ice, any snow will slow you down big time

There is some variation machine to machine. A strong running machine will run high teens, the odd very lucky sonofa*** will break 120.

buddy and I dragged our warriors a few times... 123mph and 125mph consistent on the dream meter. No mods.

I've seen a best of 123 MPH on the DM on my 04 Warrior.
I have 4 TPI valves with 165 main jets, carb springs and some clutching.

123MPH on speedo also, hard packed road, very little snow. Stock engine and no studs on 05 Warrior.

117 on ice...w/filters and the tall seat. (on radar...it was like 136 on the dreamo....I actually LOL's when I saw it)

Dump the air out of the floats and 120 is no problem.

128 on a lake "Ideal Conditions"

 

[RedRX1]

My first 03 hit 126 mph on the speedo on a lake with just a dusting of snow. My 05 and second 03 have a hard time hitting 110 mph. I think the difference is the track, the original sled had a 1" finger track and the 2 I have now have had 1-3/8 ripsaws. It will be interesting to see what happens with my 05 now that I have switched to a 1" hacksaw.

 

[LazyBastard]

I'm assuming here that when you say 110, you are meaning on the speedo since you are comparing it against 126. Though the track might help you a little, it isn't going to give you 16 mph on either the speedo or the gun. The last (and only) time I ran mine against a radar was with a 1.25" predator and it read 118. At a speedo of 110, you're probably running around a true 100... something definitely wrong there. Even a weak runner should easily be able to pull up over a true 110.
