Difference Between the electric Starters available

[Fosgate]

Yeah, I know, why do you need electric start yada yada. I'm pushing 50, dislocated my right shoulder twice, took me 4 years shooting archery everyday to tighten up my shoulder enough to lift my arms above my shoulders and not have them constantly ache and I can afford it.

Anyone know what the difference is between these two starters that show up on the configurator? Both show compatibility for the Matryx Boost. The first shows "2022 PATRIOT BOOST PRO RMK MATRYX SLASH 165 2.75" which would mean the 850. The second specifically states "Electric Start designed for the MATRYX RMK Boost 850" and the Made to Fit option shows only 3 models. One of which is "2022 PATRIOT BOOST PRO RMK MATRYX SLASH 165 2.75"" Same as the first. So I'm wondering they have different part numbers. If you configure a Pro Slash Boost 850 165 2.75 you can select the electric start but then in accessories shoes the E-start available for an additional $675 (and it adds the entire amount not considering removing the original starter but the POS configurator does that with all the adds). Only thing I can think of for differences in relation to the different part numbers is that one is push button without and the other you have to turn the key. Am I correct in this thinking?

Only thing i know is battery box is different on boost vs na matryx. Less room on boost because of muffler and battery is crammed right against belt drive on boost. Battery shroud will hit belt and upper pulley. If you put it in get a cv customs lightweight battery kit.

Don't feel bad, I have 2 years on you. I have had electric start on my last 3 sleds. I too have had shoulder problems and it is just generally easier to start when the sled is facing downhill and leaning on its rights side in deep pow. Also love just having an adult beverage on top of a mountain and just turning a key to continue ripping. LOL. Anyway, I usually spring check the sled with the E start but this season I did not spring check one but decided to get one now anyway. The one I got does not have E start and when trying to order off the Polaris parts page ran into the same confusion. This is what they wrote back and my parts counter confirmed. Ordered and its on its way.

Are you saying a whole new primary is included in the kit for NA sled??

Yes both kits include a complete clutch.

Yes both kits include a complete clutch.

Well that is a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the info. I’ve been trying to figure this out for awhile now.

 

[madmax]

Now you have to decide which clutch to buy? P-85 or P-22 for your boost.

I think i would be going with the P85 and talkin to TRS for the clutch set up for your elevation
