coombia21 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 i had a thundercat last summer didnt like it so i sold it it was great in the mud but was out of control on the trails it was great to turn the big mud tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulsar_nx Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Too big.Unless your mudding or maybe running tracks it's too much. I beleive it also has to stay on class 2 utv trails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombia21 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 it is a sweet machine but doesnt have the trail manners of a 700 or smallergreat for the soo line though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8icefishinmind Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It is too big, I rode one and the power is awesome! But, the machine is too small to handle that much power, just asking for driveterrain problems!! It was fun to ride though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The T-Cat has a built in system to prevent drivetrain wear. It's called a Spike Load Dampener Rear differential.By definition, anything with a motor larger than 800cc is supposed to be registered as an OHV and wouldn't be allowed on either Class 1 or Class 2 ATVs trails.

landscaper Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 950 T-cat?I thought they had the 1000 T-cat Must not of sold alot....so i guess who knows how this one will go.??Does it have Power steering?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 No power steering on the T-Cat. They call it a 1000, but the dispalcement is really 951cc.The current laws that are in place were established when the biggest machine was 700cc. Now we have Polaris and Arctic cat who have surpassed that mark and possibly Yamaha with their announcement. I think that was supposed to come out today. HMMMMMM. Gotta go check.

Dave S Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 the announcement has been delayed by Yamaha. Guess we'll have to wait and see if there will be a bear worthy enough to chase the big cat out of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jltimm Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Chase it out of the woods or haul it back out of the woods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So wheres my 800 can am fit in??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I believe they have maybe changed the way their displacement reads on the MSO to 799.9 cc. I have read in the past when you caluculate it out, the Can Am 800's are actually slightly over 800cc.All of the Can Ams that I have seen are registered as a Class 1.

tonkapat Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 An R1 motor would fit nicely into an atv frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jltimm Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 That's what I'm talking about! Yamaha,Honda, or Suzuki could easily use several engines to put in a wheeler, but will they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
