Questions for adding mud performance parts
« on: August 29, 2016, 09:20:39 AM »
Hi all - I've had my 2013 CForce 800 for two years, and since then most of my friends have upgraded to more expensive Can AM XMR's, and Polaris Highlifters. I don't want to buy a new machine yet, so have been putting together a list of things to upgrade mud performance, and see if it's cost justifiable. 

What do you all recommend in the following parts categories? And is this upgrade order about right?

1. Snorkel kit
2. Radiator relocate kit
3. Lift kit (like 2in spacers or something?)
4. High clearance A arms
5. Big tires (not sure what will fit stock VS with a lift? Do I need new wheels as well?)

I will continue to look online. I'm located in MN, where the CF Moto US headquarters is, but they have like nothing in the way of aftermarket parts aside from cargo containers...

Thanks!

I'm also in MN. Make sure you read the laws on the snorkels. I haven't seen much for a lift. The Russians have been doing some cool things with these, maybe you can do some translating  to see how they did it.

Yes! Everything I can find for mud performance is from Russia or Sweden. Spend as much on shipping as the products! I'll made sure to post if I find anything state side.

You'll want to do some clutch work if you want to keep up in the mud with big tires. I set my secondary spring to C4. No one else seems to want to go that far. I like it there. Consider some Dr. Pulley sliders. A 23 or 24g would work good. I saw an X8 with 30s on youtube. I don't know how well they fit. I don't remember the name of the video. Maybe X8 Mudder or something like that. I think it was from Norway. You may have to make a lift or have one made. I don't know if anybody makes one for the X8. Snorkels and rad relocate may have to be made too, not sure. I've not seen any aftermarket A-arms for it either. You might check with Rodin. The Russians may have things we don't have here.

What have you noticed with the C4 position (good and bad)?
