    7 year old video but I still watch it every year when I start to play with my sleds

    3:16 I can't stress this part enough. I just installed a clutch kit on my 2013 Ski Doo Summit Sport 600, after riding this sled the last 8 winters it is hands down my most favorite upgrade. It makes a HUGE difference when it's dialed in with better springs, helix and clutch weights. Shoutout to Dynamo Joe from iBackshift 👍

    @ tony johnson i own a550 94 ext panther. those are specifically for trail riding,not draging or ditch banging or anythin like that. anyway. i blew it up so i took the 550 out and had it professionally bored and honed now its a 580 i had to put it on hold from other projects,but i'm goin to put a new primary and secondary clutch in it. a performance Y pipe, a performance exaust and a can. then obviously give it a good tune up and after thats all done. look into a good track. but i guesss this all depends on your budget.

  • @bubbles14045
    @bubbles14045 5 років тому

    Who would you recommend for exhaust overall, looking to build a similar sled as you got, a lightweight but strong powder machine able to hit big air in the mountains, quick snappy power is what i need, probably go with clutch, suspension, intake, eventually motor and turbo+ fuel injection upgrades first

  • @mrraskal9156

    @samuelrheault164 6 років тому +1

    I was looking for an exhaust can for my 2008 polaris iq shift when a learned that rather of gaining power you loose some because the back pressure of an aftermarket can is reduced too much. Also some says that you sacrifice relieability. I'm really confused and i wanted your opinion on that subject. Thank you!

    Is this a RT? I bought a renegade RT this winter. But the combination of being front heavy and low at the belly, it causes it to ride the belly as much as the skiis which i dont like. and second, id like a tighter ski stance, do you have any recomendation on A-arms? or perhaps a small lift in the front will cause the skiis to come a bit closer together? Thoughts?

  • @ferdabros4700

    PowerModz would you buy a Polaris 340 Indy and make it a mountain sled, and if you would could you even make one, I think it would have to little power for the big hills and or trails. It would be a good little play sled though just think about it

I know u specialize in skidoo and polaris, but i was wondering if u would have any clue on some modern or after market seats for not too expensive that wouldnt take too much work to modify it to fit on the sled
