Murdered out Summit Xp 800. Black on Black on Black. I ski pow from it and rally it. Resort skiing sucks.

idk man. maybe 100 to 110.i'm also not one to fully trust a sled speedometer. and yeah i know how fast an 800 2 stroke is. snowmaching is far more popular than skiing in AK

Yeah I know it is really popular there. Here that's all there really is for outdoor winter sport. No hills in sask and the one hill is small. But lots of people sled.

I brap on a 07' ski-doo summit 800 put in a new 797 short block last spring. she's real fun to rip, but i can't wait to hopefully snowcheck a 2014 Polaris Pro RMK at the end of the year!

They actually do have gears and a chain in the chaincase. From there that shaft goes through the tunnel where plastic cogs attached to said shaft actually drives the track. You can change these gears for top end or vice versa.

No. You can change clutching for engagement based on RPM and how they "shift" but if you want to change top speed or out of the hole characteristics you change gearing in the chain case. I've been tinkering on sleds for 12 years and done this.
