- Arctic Cat F7 Firecat 1000 with naturally aspirated 1000cc Crossfire engine - 114 mph - before the clutches completely bottomed out and the belt had no place to go but explode.
You sir, are a madman.
When I was a teenager I crossed a pond at night time that was probably about 3/4 a mile wide, it had 2 small sections of open water. Just as I was coming off the first section of water the belt blew. Knowing I had more open water just ahead of me was the worst part, I have never changed a belt so fast in my life, I'd be surprised if the whole thing took me 30 seconds, but it felt like forever. That was the last time I took any chances on ice when by myself, I got very lucky it blew when it did and not just before entering the 2nd patch of water.
WOW. THIS ONE GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS. Glad you made it to ride another day my man.
Bro?!?! It’s a snowmobile!! Not a watermobile!!!
I will never cross a lake or pond at night unless I know the place like that back of my hand , the only reason why is because of a story my dad told us growing up. It started as my dad and a bunch of his friends renting a cabin on a lake all with their sleds and the night they got there one of the guys got got on one and took off onto the frozen lake, he made it about halfway across when he hit a dock doing approximately 90 mph. Sadly when everyone heard the sudden boom of the impact their hearts sank with the realization that their friend is gone. I hope you and everyone else stays safe riding and always know about the place you’re at before going out
@@fpvdominator9563 wow. You literally just taught me a lesson with that one.. also. You got my sub fpv pal
@@lexanman2012 glad I can spread some knowledge and help people stay safe
i can smell your sliders from here :D
ikr
Yes
Lol
Needs carbides
@Usa Isnomore wtf?
Best feeling ever....having it pinned! Feel like your on the clouds. At peace!
The same thing happened to me on my F7 mod on bare ice, but when my belt blew around 108MPH it wrapped around the secondary and locked up the track. I was out cold for 4 minutes the guy I was racing thought I was dead. Split my helmet almost in two, but on the bright side he was riding a F1000 and I smoked him. And I know after 110MPH he would have walked past me.
That’s nuts man, you’re lucky to ride again. Slow down and enjoy the scenery for a minute. Good to see ya made it💯✌🏼..
True American hero
Holy shit. You got lucky
Your f7 ain't going 110 lol
@@massboys7313 haha I love you ppl useless . And you know this how? The proper question to have asked was if I had the later model with the diamond drive or the older one with the chain case. Then you could have tried to talk shit. Do you even know the difference and why it matters?
You ain't having fun till the three digit numbers
I have a buddy that bought a new Yamaha it was when they came out with the 3 cylinder 4 stroke crotch rocket engine, I dont remember the model. He just got the sled and put a Bender racing turbo kit on it and put 144 studs in the track and an M10 suspension under it and then took it for its first ride. The turbo kit had 3 settings on it the first was around 185 hp and the 2nd 245 hp which he normally rode it and the second was around 300 hp, I rode the sled a couple times and it was no fun what so ever for me extremely jerkey and the power was on or off there was nothing in between. He was on his second weekend of riding it and he blew the Kevlar belt on it at some stupid speed and it took out the hood, ripped the clutch apart and ripped up the belly pan, it cost him almost 5K to get the sled running again, then he changed the belt whenever he got around 900 miles on that belt. The belts were over 200.00 each. He would ride the sled for a weekend and it would be in the shop all the next week being fixed and he would pick it up on friday and go out and destroy stuff again. Before that sled ever hit the snow he had well over 20K into it and then figure close to 1K for repairs each week. It was fast i would bet it would go over 120 mph, but what an incredible money pit!!!

@@galehess6676 I think I remember it being an R1
@@karlk6860 close, it was the RX1. The R1 was the bike the pulled the motor design from.
@@karlk6860 Would have been a 4 cylinder too.
@@jeffro38911 you are 100 percent correct on this Jeff thanks for the clarification.
Speedo needle is on "0 MPH" the entire video (cable broke or disconnected) and RPMs is what is displayed on the digital screen with a reading of 7300 to 7360.
Thank you for deciphering the digital display Digital Dan! To bad Analog Andy ain't here to analyze the analog accelerometer readout lol. I noticed the lack of speed displayed as well. So happy u-toob algorithm recommended this, not.
Piston 2 has left the chat....
After you replace the belt, you might want to swap in some new carbide upfront?
Why? Its on ice
@@timradke7775 because carbide wouldn’t matter, unless you were on ice.
I had a firecat 700 when I was 17. It was fast enough for anybody. That said 115mph makes almost anyone a man
i drove like 105 mph with my friend when i was 14 and he was 13 if i remember right
On Ice!!! Insane!!!
Driving that fast on ice is a death sentence!
I saw a sled blow a track at high speed and it flew very high, The sled glided a half mile before coming to a stop
surprised nothing else blew knowing its a arctic cat
Im a complete noob to snowmobiles, are arctic car any good?
Yes they are
Just blew by u that's it!! 😜
Idk man the only arctic cat we had lasted til we sold it. Our 2 polarises on the other hand...
@@dregsta Yes. They're actually the best brand in terms of reliability, this guy just probably had a bad experience with one 😂
If you can make women melt as easily as your hyfax, please clue us all in ASAP!!!!
My dad's piped zr 800 clocked out at 116 mph
Holy hell that's fast!
after you put that belt on, you might want to consider replacing your hyfax too.
Not if u got the graphite infused duponts!! Bro!! I don't even run many wheels in ice races!
That’s how I grip my motorized bikes handlebars going 35. Lol for dear life. I’ve had my tire pop and mash in the frame. Skidded to a stop.
I’d love to drive a snowmobile.
Flying across a pond with zero snow cover and basically no steering... Oh ya, the intelligence is high with this one.
Not what i was expecting. I blew one on a 1978 340 Kawasaki invader at speed. I tell you it just took off an 1/8 inch of belt but you would have thought you were in the snowstorm of your life and inside the cowl looked like a cotton farm
Warp speed Mr Scott.
Did I miss where it was reading 114mph? I could not even make any numbers out from the vibration.
Must be a helluva studded track to get that sled moving.
The speedometer didn't look like it was working.
Holy hell dam you were moving
Surprised he didn’t do the old 1080 degree whip around when the belt blew on the ice, must’ve had a picked track. Dangerous I was ripping one time on the lake the. Hit a patch of shear ice with no picks on the track the carbides dug down and the back end swung around like a Mary go round and almost ejected me off the sled good times !
I’m thirteen and I went 105mph on a 1999 Yamaha vmax triple sx 600 and It is just scary to even nudge the handle bars to move I can’t imagine going 115mph would be like
It's nothing bud!! I race the soo i-500
115mph 1 mile oval track with 40 other racers!! Plus snow dust and your goggles get iced up!!
Check out my helmet cam @yamaharacingshow on UA-cam.
@@rewadena4371 weird flex but okay
same but on a yamaha sxr 500, i think the max speed on those are around 105 mph /160-170 kmh
Anyone doubting 114 mph would shit their pants on a TCat never mind swapped into a Firecat. That thing would pull your arms right outta socket. Matter of fact that thing must be clutched for bottom end cuz it should have WAY more legs than that!
114 on a tcat or firecat isn't easy, for near stock. Idk what you're talking about. I don't see how it should have more legs than that.
The trick is getting tall gears in the chain case. The 1000 engine only revs 7100 stock (this one 7500) so you’re losing speed (rpm) over the stock F7 engine. I think I was running 25-35 by the end of owning it.
A cat blowing a belt? How un surprising
Is that like a Subaru blowing a head gasket?
@@dayron6637 Nah, kiddo doesn't know what he's talking about. I've ran the piss out of my cat for the last 2 years with no belt issues at all
@@samuelhumphreys1775 Lmao
Check your belt and backup belt every time you ride alone fellas 😄
I like how his carbides are worthless at the end while trying to steer left lol
Let off the throttle every 4 - 7 seconds
Why
@@ronrichards2691 I think it’s so the belt can cool down
Lol
@@timradke7775 these sled have oil injection when the slid comes up in the carb its puting oil in no need to let off
@@ronrichards2691 have owned sleds for 33 years, you never hold a 2 stroke wide open for more than a few seconds, when topped out, they can lean out and melt a piston , pretty much known, by everyone.
Imagine hitting a ridge in the ice going that speed
You ought to be glad you weren't skimming across water when you blew that belt! Lol
My thoughts exactly and also exactly why I never river ride and avoid lakes if at all possible. I frigging HATE the water during winter. I never trust it, never have.
@@MasaCheez Yeah, I would always make sure that I had a new belt on if I were to go skimming across the water, because with used belts you just never know when they're going to go.
That's real quick the fastest I've ever gone mph is 160-70 the speedo only went to 120 but the needle kept going I couldn't imagine that speed on a sled
In KPH I guess?
@@lucahoganyt4435 for the sled the vid says mph and the fastest I've got is mph too
@@bryantb3391 there is no way u went 160 on sled lmao
@@sufio454 I think he means in a car, but I could be wrong.
@@carterd.1400 nah he means sled
You got there so fast
Holy crap that was fast
It just wouldn't be a cat if it didn't eat belts.
I really don’t understand why manufacturers haven’t gone to shaft driven yet
Belts are easier to replace! It's a point of failure anyone can service. You can tell when your belt is getting worn out, you can tension it and keep it in good health. A drive shaft, being a different kind of mechanism, if it fails its much harder to service and figure out. Since it would be made of metal or carbon fiber, the pieces may damage the engine as well as shrapnel.
You can change a belt when you are in the wilderness 200 km from civilization. A drive shaft - good luck.
@@Kaboom1212Gaming A shaft will outlive the lifespan of the engine of the snowmobile itself. Too easy for someone to get stranded without a belt, or someone who doesn’t know how to replace the belt.
How would a clutch work with a shaft.
@@JohnMann1212 how does it work with the belt?! 😂😂😂
@@mr.terwilliger5728 a shaft drive would require a transmission instead of a clutch and belt. Issue Is now you have a good amount more weight your power is interrupted in-between shifts and now you just went from a simple and effective clutch and belt that a normal person can service to a box of gears that more than likely requires a tech to work on it. Maybe not bad for a touring sled but for me it dosnt seem like there would be much upside.
$200 belt, $80 slider set and may as well throw in $80 for a new set of carbides. LOL
Why new carbides?
@@timradke7775
Because they reacted like a dull pair of skates on the ice.
Mine are new , do the same thing...
anybody that pays 200 for a belt deserves to get ripped off that badly
Probably so u can turn on the ice
My man has a death wish
Git it!
Is it really that fun to run a snowmobile over pure ice?
At that speed, absolutely
Its not the speed, maintain your clutches and belts 🔧
...and hyfax.
My dad blew his belt on his 2007 Polaris 600 going 114 😭
Well there goes 80 to 95 bucks
114 mph? maybe in your dreams
Have you ever ridden a snowmobile in your life, breaking 3 digits is not hard on most sleds as long as you have the space to do it, I would argue it looked more like 115
has to be studs on there lol
well no sh*t
Nice sled
Another thing that will never happen on an Elan. lol.
An Elan is a cardboard box with a weedwacker thrown in it, no shit it won't do that 😂
@@lucahoganyt4435 Yup, lol, and they'll still be going long after that thing has blown itself to hell.
@@stevenwithanS Yep 😂 I've always wanted an Elan. But for some reason the market in my area thinks that because they're "classics", they're suddenly worth 3 grand. So for now I'm happy with my 2017 XF8000 😂
Hey I blew a belt right through the cab of an Elan once!
Poor sled just over heating to
0:44
Minecraft boats am I right?
No way I did the same thing
Good way to burn out your runners and cogs
Don't try this at home lol
That’s it? What a waste of my time & your’s too!
