When I was at Dunefest I saw a one seater sand buggy with a 597cc twin cylinder 2-stroke Rotax engine in it. You can look at it if you go to www.drakart.com. The motor produces 110hp @ 8200 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]!! It is set up to work with a CVT transmission, but with that much power, who cares about a little thing like gears! It would sure be a Banshee killer. I don't know which sled it came out of, but it would be interesting to see someone adapt it to a DS... It would be like a V-Force on 'roids!

 

It is a common occurance to see a banshee 350 produce around 100hp. I have seen 500cc banshees produce close to 150hp. Although rare, I have seen a turbo banshee produce almost 200hp. So a 597cc producing 110hp is not as impressive as if first seems. Just
my 0.02

But it is, Because it will run 5 times as long[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Rotax Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

its probably out of a mxz600, my bros got a 700 and it produces 125hp stock,

 

Its just a sled motor, get a 1000cc cat.....then you will be making power.

 

i thought they stopped makin the 1000cc triple? changed it 2 a 900cc twin cuz it made more power, ionno, i'd prolly get the 800H.O. rotax motor

 

Any of the new 800 motors make more power than the 1000cc cat motors anyway...... Not to mention how UNRELIABLE a 1000cc cat is....

 

ya even the old mach z's would pull away from thundercats

 

The old 1000 triple made 172hp. Most 800s today make about 140-150hp.

 

Then why are the 800's just as fast or faster? Don't tell me that the cats were faster because they aren't.. I do know the 1000cc cat weighs a ton....
