To Accessorize or Not
Q Hi I have been a subscriber for more than 10 years from Québec. I have a little question on the 2018 Ski-Doo MXZ X-RS. I saw in the 2019 preview that you installed a medium windshield and hand-guard extensions on a Renegade X-RS. Do they hit on full turn? Thanks for the best mag in the biz! I had a great year with 9952 km (6183 miles) on my sled. Merci!

A Bonjour Michel! Yes, we install medium windshields and the accessory hand-guard extensions on just about every Ski-Doo we have as demo sleds (X-RS and Backcountry X this year). The extensions do not hit the shield even on very sharp turns. See example pic.
Thanks for reaching out to us and glad to hear you had a great season!

Benefits of aftermarket clutches
Q I was wondering about the durability of different aftermarket clutches, I’ve been doing some reading and some aftermarket clutches are not warrantied on triples and some are not warrantied on twins. Some say a quick change spider is not recommended, so I’ll ask on here what is the best drag racing clutch for the 800R Ski-Doo twin, in pro stock trim??

A A great question, but leaves quite a large amount of information that’s needed to be required to get a dialed in answer. Currently Straightline has the fastest 1000ft speed run time and some of the quickest 500ft engines on the market. All our machines are using the TRA3 clutch on those machines with no issues. We have personally used the STM and have had great success on all our higher HP machines. It will also depend on what your tuning skills are, as both of these are completely different tuning clutches.
