Saw the video, Josh; that really sucks! Definitely a defective component or improper assembly. I've got to question whether you really want to trust anything you buy in the last couple years. With all the supply chain issues, using whatever parts you can make work due to shortages, production interruptions, workers having to spend the whole day wearing a mask - there are just so many more things to contribute to a defective product, as if there weren't enough before. If and when I buy a new sled, I'm going over like it were a used sled from someone I know couldn't wrench but thought they could.
After reading about issues with the Adapt clutch and the P-22 on the Boost, I'm find with the P-85. The advantages are just too little to offset the issues we're seeing. There was even talk in the Matryx subforum of guys going back to the P-85. I like the idea of a roller bearing, but until they can make it last as long as the old-school stuff, I'll hold off. It'd be good to know what happened to Josh's sled; hopefully it's not a common happenstance. Even with their "old" chassis and engine, Cat can still sell sleds, but only if they can maintain or improve quality. Nothing kills loyalty like having a sled go down... Well, unless you're someone like Burandt; wonder how much work he has to do when the factory experimental sled he's riding blows up.
