Hey guys been very serious about switching to the pro from my m8! but honestly I have ridden into July on some Fun runs in short sleeves
Never had a problem running in 65 degrees at 11000' as long as I was on something white. Also ran a couple hundred miles over a weekend in Wi without scratchers without ever overheating this winter. This is without a snowflap, as they break off when you wheelie on the cats. Will I have to give up summer rides if I switch to the pro? No bs real question. The pro chassis is calling my name!

i have been riding my 155 assualt with no snow flap and have no overheating problems. Granted i run 95% off trail but we have had alot of spring snow lately and i have had no issues. So take it for what it is worth. You take any mountain sled and just putter around on the trails it will over heat.
Put 1200 miles on a Pro RMK 800 155" this year in MICHIGAN and yes the sled runs HOT in low snow conditions. As long as there is SNOW under the sled drop the ice scratchers and you'll be fine. If you plan on running the sled like a 50/50 sled you should consider the Assault Switchback. We ride 90/10 Off Trail/Trail so the Pro works great for me.
Well most of my big rides were out west this year and very deep snow where my sled just wasn't enough. So really want the 155. Also I am keeping my IQ 144 so I could always just ride that when I am in MI or riding with the kids. Sounds like as long as there is snow I can drop the scratchers and be fine. The slower family rides I will just plan to ride my 08 or my wifes sled. It is the only time I really ride trails much.
The RMK also has another set of bogies. I have been running an edge 159" Turbo. Had the same problem. Added extra bogies and have never had another issue.
IMO yes, if the hyfax is cool and not sticking it makes it easier on the engine, which I think would run cooler.
You boys are trying to re-invent the wheel here. Run your scratchers, lose the ported snow flap, dive off trail into snow to cool it down, pack snow on your tunnel....It's no wonder people get on here and throw a fit when their sled hits 180 when some were impressed with the thought of packing snow on the tunnel to help out.
Was this on ice? We just got 30 inches of fresh over easter....guess I'll have to wait longer to find out...
