As a mountain rider, starting off in the late 70's on a kitty cat, then transitioning to a full size sled in the 80's. I remember all these old muscle sleds. The OG SRX V-max being the coolest looking, but all had one thing in common. Everyone was trying to convert flat land sleds, into something that would float in the Wa cascades. I'd argue that the phazer was the first attempt at a semi mountain sled, but the Indy's, formulas, wildcats, and V-max's still sold, and people would do things like bolt on paddles, to try and make them work in the mountains. We're extremely fortunate with today's mountain sled tech. Oh to have my axys RMK back when I was a kid. I guess there's still a place for these lake rockets, but from my perspective, they're a class of a bygone era, where we had to mod everything to make them work.
I borrowed my buddies 2019 last year and fell in love with that motor,,it converted me from 2 stroke to 4 ;so I ended up ordering a long track version from yamaha xtx-le
The thundercat 1000cc 2-stroke tripple, myself still love to build a monster 2-stroke! You can get over 200 hp without turbo. Lol. Add the whoop ass kit from black magic. Yes they are not around, but I know a few people. I'm friends with Jack Nelson a arctic cat engineer 😉. Lol.... yes the suspension and frame on the old 2002 needs to be undated. Fast Trail sled is all it is.
Hi: Jeff Again love your cahnnel on waiting list for the thundercat my requirement is simple power steering and 4 stroke have another sled on snowcheck but still no confirmation on delivery. wait lited with many dealers should they get cancellations. How can I get hold of you tried on facebook would possible to get tel number have many questions regarding sleds that would like to discuss, saw your 3 cylinder skiddo at royal in Ottawa. I to live in Ottawa Christopher

Love my 2020 Tcat...sounds like an Indy car when you're up to speed.
Your T-shirt is soooo appropriate!

The power is addicting for sure!
Nice sled man!
That motor suns forever! 150k!
Still have a 94 tcat and in excellent shape, just received my spring order 22, riding from 94 to 22 is the most gasmatic ride I had ever experienced 😀
Great review!!
