TM8 vs M1000 vs 900rmk

ok
so the moral of this message is
tm8 had to let off at the top because he was going to fast
dragon had to pouch to make it to the top
m1000 had to go up the not as step to make it

sounds like the dragon and the m1000 need more power
 
you can watch on buradnts backwoods on his deep powderday even tho its a tm8 it still trugles when he takes off once he gets just a little bit of speed and gets up on the snow then it rips a well clutched xp with 174 would destroy tm8 in deep fluff in the trees on an open hill that might be a differnt story still be close, some of you will say no-way tm8 153 makes way to much trackspeed ect most of you never rode with a well setup 174, there are alot of them here in the flathead thats for a reason alot of tight tree'd areas if there wasnt a differnce in them they wouldnt be makeing longer and longer tracks. i like the guys that say there 144s can stay with a 174 when you see alot of them strugleing to make it on flat ground in 3ft of fluff


i can say my 174 was strugleing in about 6ft of fluff my cousin on his 174 xrs jumped off the side of the road by the first big hillclimb up lost jhonny stuck instantly all we could see was the top of his helmet it was that deep and bout -10degrees out funny how the 150s sled were staying on the road

I talked to Burandt the other day and asked him if had anybody bring in a 174.He said he had a couple of people. He didn't trash on the 174's but he did say they were miserable before the day was over. Ride what you like. That's what counts.
 
the best all around track is a mid 150 size. you 174 guys are wide open hill climbers with no technical riding skills.

you must be kidding... 440 dart and all those who he speaks of ride the same places i do, and an opening over an acre is considered a nice play area... were not very high, and the trees are TIGHT, the hills arent huge and ongoing like those in BC, so no, they work WELL in the trees. heres just a sample of one of the more pupular riding areas around us... see all the huge open hills?

tight trees?^^^^^You could drive a school bus (or a yamaha) between those tress.:D
 
lol iam not sure how to take it is that meaning i actually cant ride or a post to get a rise outta me:D i know most of the people i ride with will say i suck i guess all i can do is invite ya to come ride with me n my buds we can type how good we are all we want on here, not an artic fan but would like to see how the rtr go's
 
so what is the point of this thread

my sled is better than your sled or you cant ride like i can
wtf get over it ride what you want when you want

hopefuly you wont run out of talent before power!!!!!
 
the point of the thread is basically a giant d1ck measuring contest... and somewhat for fun... cuz were all awsome.

i only ride a 162x2.25 and would probably rock a 156x2.5 if i was gonna make my ideal setup... then again, my ideal setup aint what im riding, i just dont have the $$ for my ideal!

and 440, i want to see how the 174 does against my bald 162 maverick with hte super track speed!

Nice area but it is pretty open actually. Thats where I would like to ride but we ride in much much tighter stuff a lot.
btw open invite to any of u guys who want to drive down here and ride with us...note ego gets checked at the door...we just have good times..:beer;:beer;:beer;
 
Guess I will chim in on the 174 track. A few years ago I decided to go from mod sleds to almost stock so I could do more trips with my daughters. !59x15 was all I needed until a trip to Revy with the boys. Rather than spend a bunch of cash on mods I put a 174x16 on the 1M. Moved the skid back a little and some setup I was off to the hills, worked great. In fact it was kind of a surprise how well it worked in the woods, sooo much foot print that thing could crawl without trenching.If you did get stuck....better pull out the shovel. With all of that said I now have a M7T with a 162, don't think I would even consider a 174 or a 144. To each their own.
 
it looks open cuz thats why i took a pic, it doesnt look good when you take pictures in the middle of the woods.... im on a ridge, cant really ride it much. kinda scary!!

and I really want to ride in your area 2X.... seems like a lot of fun!
 
The picture you took of that riding area is tougher then it looks especially in fresh deep snow.
That is pretty hilly off camber terrain.
Looks challenging!
