my newest toy

[awesomeame]

so i was planning on buying a new sled this coming season, but i couldn't pass up the deal i found the other night! always wanted one of these..

 

 

 

 

 

 

it's a 2001 arctic cat thundercat with 2300miles. blackmagic head & pipes, boyesen reeds, cover, 192 studs, shocks rebuilt at 1000miles, tour buddy & reverse.

 

i wasn't 20mins from where i picked it up and the cops pulled me over. two cruisers, wondering what i was doing with a sled in july, they thought it was stolen. (picked it up right near an indian reserve that's famous for stealing stuff) so they ran the VIN and then let me go.

 

should be fassst

Ive necer ridden a sled but have always wanted to,they look like a blast good find!!!

[jakehopt]

I rode one last year out in Colorado, it was only a 600 though, not quite as fast as a 1000 haha. Either way it was a blast and we rode the tar out of the thing. It'll pay for itself in one or two rides trust me.

just to let you know that that thing will dry your wallet out at the pumps for sure but hey thats what all sleds do so have fun hope to see you out on the trails in ont.

I bet it will smoke your banshee in a drag race. I have rode 800 artic cats up to 105 mph and they get there quick.

should get that thing to the dunes

that would be sweet...hell on the hifax though

 

from my personal experience the 900's are WAYYYY better than the 1000's but hey. Still looks pretty sick

My Uncle has one of them. I drove it once and scared the bejesus out of myself on it. LOL. Man are they an awesome sled though.

[Dmcbanshee]

Nice sleds, this artic cat have a lots of power :beer:

[DIRTMAN350]

Nice sled man. I have rode small ones in the past when i was younger and rode a 600cc one once that was my uncle's and it was scary fast for me. Anyway nice find. Have fun and enjoy.

Sweet sled man. I just got rid of my 900cc mod 98 srx . My buddy had a 98 1000 tcat looked similar to that one . They haul the mail for sure. Nothing beats a triple piped triple T cat.

 

My buddy clocked his at 136 with some simple clutch work and 244 1 inch carbides on the ice in northern michigan. My mod sled ran a 130 and it was far from stock.

 

Its actually not as bad of a trail machine as ya think. But if you plan on jumping it which is a big no no with a triple triple upgrade the suspension.

 

Otherwise pin it and grin!! Itll hit 100 before you can blink your eyes a few times.

 

We used to run a trail next to the highway, and at 70 mph you can pull the skis 8 inches off the snow and walk away from cars doing the speed limit on the highway.

136 on a clutched T-Cat? Yeah ok.....

 

 

Anyways, congrats on the purchase, bet you can't wait til winter!
