Its hard to justify spending that much on a sled and extending it and only having a 500 to build off of, i didnt thing they would cost as much as they do.

yeah
I want one to put the d&d 727 kit, 2 inch paddle, and you have a great sled for about $12,000 though, ouch.

I know of one in the works with an turbo'd M1000 transplant and a 162 but it may be slow coming.

I'm hoping it's not new M chassis. I love the handlebars of current M and would not want swap to doo style steering.
What I'd like to see is combination of current M and new racer

i'm sure it will be, maybe tweaked a little for the mountains, ac hasn't changed the M series platform since 05. since the f series chassis is way to heavy for the mt. i'm sure this will be thier next platform...

I wonder how it rides.
Extremely Saweeeet!!
Wonder what power he is running, the bigbore kit for that would be rather necessary in my books to twist that track properly.

sweeet and jealous.. Had talked with AC dealer last year about taking a Sno Pro and putting a 144' under it along with SW 800 mod kit. $15k was lil much to dump into a sled when you don't have 15K. some day some day Ill build one. hahaha.

Just as a note, since the race chassis is based off the F chassis, any M to come out in either chassis would be based off the F.
If I were going to mod one, I would start with a used racer, and not the 500.

i doubt we will see the snopro in mountain form...even tho it would be flippin saweet!!!
one, even though the 500 will bolt in with oil injection, the larger 600cc+ cases are too big to fit the oil pump in there. the front motor mount goes right thru the area where the oil pump would normally sit. i doubt many people today are going to spend over 10K on a sled without oil injection. it wouldn't bother me but other people? yeah.....
I don't know if anyone can confirm but will the newer 800 engines fit into this chassis without oil injection? I've had people tell me yes and no. The older 600 and 700 laydown engines will but not sure about the 800's.
bearcat-have you ridden a new snopro? once you spend some time on one and then go back to the M chassis it's an unbelievable difference. that's about all I can say it's just incredible how much better the snopro is compared to the M. honestly, from a season of riding and racing a 600 SP, it's the best handling, best riding sled out there IMO. that chassis with the new 800 and a 141'' or 153'' Powerclaw would be absolutely insane!!! but see there we're dreamin again haha

wrong, the "twin-spar" and the sno-pro chasis are completly differant. Rider position(in the chasis), supspension geometry, bulkhead and drive layout.

Yes, the twin-spar chassis and the Sno-pro chassis are different, but Cat based the sno-pro chassis on the twin-spar and went from there. I said it was "based" on the twin-spar, not exactly the same.

I dont see the racer chassis handling better in the mountains than the M chassis. On the trail? yes. But in the pow? Doubt it.

The race chassis doesnt do as well or handles as well in the powder. Trust me I know !!

I think with a 144" and up track and enough motor to turn it it would be a kick in the butt. Last 2 years i rode a lightly detuned 05' mod 800 in the mountains 128x1.7". I didn't win any high mark contest but I got every where the big track sleds went. Plus I think it made me a better rider line choice was critical.
I had the same thoughts as fabcraft, have speedwerx 925 motor waiting. Now to find a used race sled again.
