I know Sheriff Woody has his new Gaypex but anyone else snowcheck a new sled that they've picked up? Currently waitin for my XP800X Gade. I love this time of year.

I heard last weekend at the Michigan DooTalk bbq at Dee's Marine that the Renegades are being built last.

I heard they hit production 9/5 and should be in in the next few weeks. Not like it matters. We dont have any snow yet.

That's just what I heard from Al (dee's owner) and Bobadoo.

It actually wouldnt hurt my feelings as I dont really wanna part with the $$ right now.

ya but it's awesome to molest it in the garage for a few weeks before breakin it in:rof: bud of mine is waitin for his new summit and not due to get it untill next month.

At the DT bbq, they had a few 800r x's and a TNT. That TNT is freakin light as a feather. I picked it up with one hand and yanked the rear bumper up to my chest no problem. That thing is going to be a little rocket, and if someone puts it on some steroids (clutching, ect) it's going to give some of the BIG boys hell.


One thing that sort of concerns me though is, I was going over one of the 800 X's they had outside and there were some pretty piss poor welds on it (around the foot wells and bulk head) , but I think that one was a Prototypes. Don't remember for sure ( I was up for 34 hours straight that day) but it wasn't pretty. Looked like they had the same guy welding on it that welds Bikemans pipes.

Time will tell how this one holds up. I am excited to beat on it and see. I loved the REV and can't imagine this chassis being all that much better. I would have been happy with a REV chassis with an 800R in it but that wasnt an option.

I was looking at a TNT yesterday after someone on DT was complaining about welds and they aren't the prettiest but since they are covered by the bodywork I'd rather have strong than pretty welds.

TNT really intrigues me as it's a couple grand less than an X and comes with the rebuildable shocks which I need, with a 1.25 track I might have pulled the trigger yesterday when I picked up my son's new sled.

I got your gaypex !!

I thought you wanted a bigger mill



You find a good spot to put your rainbow sticker on it

I do want something bigger but 7k vs 9500 I might be more inclined to buy the XP for a holdover till next year. I really want a DI 800 and if I buy a Ptek now and put 3-4k miles on it I'm going to lose 3 grand depreciation in the first season, with a TNT I'd bet this season would cost me $1500 in depreciation. Just wish the business was like it was 2 years ago and I wouldn't even care about the money.

I'm not a big one for compromising and not buying what I want so at the end of the day I'll probbaly end up on a Renegade 800 this winter. XP was just too comfy as compared to my Rev.

Yeah I hear you guys in the biz are gettin pummeled

That sucks. I forgot to ask my buddy about the 800X Gade that he knew of that might be available. Ill call him tonight.

I've been here almost 15 years, it's as slow as it's been since 1994 but it'll pick up and at the end of the day it is worth the up's and downs for the flexibility you get.

My industry is no different......

If it's as strong as they say it is, it'll be fine. Al said they had them out on the SnoCross tracks and they beat the snot out of them and they couldn't break them. I'm not talking about the 07 Open Mods either. I'm talking about the 08 TNT 600 and 800r X prototypes.

From what they were saying, the XP will put the rest of the industry 3-5 years behind, AGAIN!

X2 800r in a 440 skid. Like the XRS, but in a REAL 440 chassis. I was going to snow check an xrs 600 but I'm glad I didn't waste my money. Same with the Polaris 600RR. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to much money for a wanna be racer.



Not only were these welds not pretty, but they looked like they wern't done very well. I've welded before myself, and I've been around lots of welders at work and around the car and sled hobby, and it looked like there was very little penetration in some of those welds.


TNT is definately A LOT of back for your buck. Suprised it didn't get SOTY insted of the 600h.o. Actually I"m suprised Yamahog didn't buy ANOTHER SOTY from SnowBlower.

went to look at the 2 xp's i snow checked, told them to keep them, until the tunnel to bulkhead issues are resolved, i'll just keep what i got for one more year, and just goof off with the superchargers and turbos for this winter

What issues?
