Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I am convinced that the engine will move under load much the same as the rev chassis. Its just a matter of time before the belt cords start showing. If not at 100 miles, then at 300. Its the same issue as the rev. I'm still running a 2004 renegade 800X with the 1 3/4" lug track that has gone 5000 km's on its last belt. That belt is hanging on the wall with no uneven wear.
I will be installing the jackshaft conversion and the hyperlite. The only concern I have is getting the clutching as good as I can. This was to be expected anyway as I was going to run DJ's kit, but since he has none ready, I'll do it myself. It will be very similar to the kit in my 2004 renegade anyway. I also have 2 other buddies with the exact same sleds to compare to as we ride and test. Floating is the only way to go as far as I'm concerned untill someone proves it wrong and no one has yet......I'm hoping to be out this weekend as we got a good dump of snow in the Morinville area and north.....
Cheers
