Is 50mph a normal track speed for a '07 Xrs in powder??

[smoknbarrels]

I am new to the big sled world and am wondering if this is normal for me to just get about 50mph track speed out of my 800summit Xrs when its in a moderate amount of snow?(~2 feet freash) on hard pack it hits about 73mph.

i do expect it to lose speed and traction, but i figured the track speed would stay higher then that (plus I'm a light guy). sled has about 500 miles on it. should i be doing some maintenance already?

input would be great.

That Sounds Fast To Me For Running In Deep Stuff.

I'd love to get 50mph in 2' of fresh. I'm lucky to get 40-45mph in that deep. I wouldn't be complaining if your getting that much.

At 7,000' some sleds will do 45 MPH, but at 10,000' you'll be lucky to see 43 MPH.

yeah, 50 is actually really nice, what elevation are you running at?

i can get like 45 most of the time.

just at the base of the hill at about 4000, I'm only about 160lbs so i figured i wouldn't add too much weight to the sled! i wonder how many miles i would expect before redoing the top end..?
