Well I was out yesterday, put on few hundred K, and the sled performed great. Much snappier and better ride all around. Quite happy with it. What I did have an issue with tho, was breaking trail. We have about 18-20" up where I was riding, and not all of it was broken trail. I had a few problems with making some hills when I was breaking trail, however my buddy with his TSS Vmax would pull right around me and had no issue's at all.
Seems to me the design of the TSS is much better for Powder than the trailing arm sleds...when I got stuck, What I noticed was my front end was plowing snow, and it would all build up in the trailing arms, shocks and Radius rods, short of Long tracking this machine, since I don't typically ride in these conditions, but every once and awhile we break a trail into a new lake or the groomer hasn't passed after a dumping, Would a simple Belly pan help reduce this drag? or am I stuck with this issue? Any other cheap idea's to help these sleds in the powder??
It was really only an issue if I stopped, the visor was getting iced over from snow mist coming over the sled, and I'd have to stop, and if I couldn't get back up to speed, then it would plow down, and I couldn't get back up on the snow, if a hill was close I was done for.
