Another insane build. I'd love to see some of these sleds in the films. 400 pounds and 300 hp has to be nuts.

Wow! That's going to be fun.
You might need some fishing weights on your pocket for traction!

;-)

The C3 guys must be pretty busy this fall!!

I agree, some vids of this in action would be cool. Definitely cutting edge

there have been some late nights and weekendless weeks. it's all worth it though, when you step back, see the finished product, and can't wipe the grin off your face.

Well, I may have a little project for them come springtime.
Glad to see things are working out well for them! Nice fellas.

Wonder how having the motor angled back will change its handling and do you guys know the difference in weight between the two motors.

I don't think the handling will change much as the crankcase is foreward more than the xp motor. also the throttle boddies and intake are on the front of the engine. should balance out. as far as the engine weights, we didn't weigh them (too excited to get er done) but they felt comparable. and judging by the final weights of this sled and a few others we have built, I would say they both weigh very close to the same. this was a 07 engine though, the '10 engine is lighter.
