- 18 sidewinder; 06 Apex RTX
My old 03 RX1 with the camo finger junk track was a lot faster on top than the identical black RX I had, with a ripsaw installed. Regularly saw 130 (dreameter) on Salmon river reservoir (6+miles) when good conditions. But the ripsaw would kill it in any kind of loose snow. My Apex is slower than the camo RX1 too. Track lug has a lot to do with top end.

I have an 06 GT and I saw 114mph on radar on 1/2 mile ice track two weekends ago. Conditions were humid but no wind. My sled is stock with 96 studs down the middle.
With that said there was an 07 RTX that did 115. All others did 106-110.
From most info I have read and seen, 110-115 is about the norm. Anything above that is either a "good one" from factory or most likely well tuned by an experienced tuner.

kates said:Oh, I forgot the $190 dollars worth of Stud Boy Dueces, I sure hope they are worth the money and last longer than those cheap a** factory carbides.
I have 1200 miles on mine, but they have had more than their share of roadsides and such due to last years bad season and having a new sled desperate for snow, lol.
My left carbides dont even look worn at all, I actualy cut my finger on it while checking it too. I think a lot of people have good results with lifespan on these.

one thing you must factor in is your body weight. guy like myself at 6'5" and 300lbs is gonna have at least a 5-7 mph slower then a guy at 200 lbs. a few years ago on hard pack plowed lane i couldnt get my 05rx1 faster then 99 mph on radar. i let a 140 guy try and he recorded a 106 mph. so weight is a big factor

The 103mph is the best I have gotten ( gps'd), wishometer was reading 114-116. Funny cuz I was running neck and neck with an 800 etec today. All I need is another few mph and I would be happy. Sled is stock 08 apex gt.

120 MPH Dream meter plowed road. 5000 miles, 1.25" Ripsaw, 162 studs, CK10 Plugs, Ulmer Air Box, Ulmer Stage II clutching. Full Tank of fuel and 230 lb rider. Oh super low RTX Windshield....thinking if I put stock one back on I might pick up a few MPH cause nothing to hide behind (-:

Personal best on my 07 RTX yesterday 125 on Dreamo on packed frozen river. Am happy as I am running a very tight track so it won't ratchet in the little bit of powder we have this year. I also am running the mountain skis and big windsheild which cant be good for top end. Machine is stock as far as engine and clutching. Need to compare to GPS to see what accual speed is.
