Old Race Sled vs Freshly Built IQR | Cheap vs Spendy Racing Snowmobiles

- Today we introduce Cody to the channel with his 2016 Polaris IQR 600 that he completely ripped apart and rebuilt from the ground up with oil injection, 12 gallon trail tank, performance upgrades, and he made sure it's going to rip for the season. With nearly $7000 invested into his snowmobile, we take a comparison look between his final year IQR versus my 2003 Polaris ProX factory race sled with a 600cc Liberty swap. I paid $1800 for the ProX back in 2018 at HayDays and the value has risen over time but still accurate to what was paid. For the first solid ride of the season, this winter is looking good! Enjoy the video!

Glad I found this channel. Love the content and love that you're (somewhat) local, coming from NW WI myself. Can't wait to see more, maybe see ya out and about this season.
Enjoy the winter! Thanks for watching the vids
I didn't expect to watch the whole video, but I did, and now I'm excited to get out for a rip!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy the rip!
Dude it’s so awesome to see my sled. Just bought a 2002 pro X 440 liquid. I was told they are very rare. Got about four hours on it and holy shit I do not regret that buy lol.
They are very rare. Back then the only way you could get them was if you had a race license so there were only like 800-1200 sold each year from what i've been told. Then a bunch were raced, abused, and wrecked so it only leaves a handful of good quality race sleds from that era from most manufacturers. The MXZX Rev chassis was the most sold so will naturally be the most common to see. Polaris was behind the game in 03 and 04 without a rider forward platform so people preferred the newer F-chassis and Rev chassis. Makes these thing very hard to find. Thanks for watching!
i never wanted this video to end.
Thanks for watching!!
great video, sounds like crying kids asking , I want more .
Unlike my 1997 Arctic Cat,
Thunder Cat 900 c c.
No crying here, and I love my cat.
Nice to find a channel with some older ish sleds. Every channel now is all about the new sleds. I just wanna see some edges in deep powder.
Thanks for watching! Lots more to come
I really liked this video gonna hang around to see if there's more like this
The newest videos since we've returned this year are the higher quality productions. Older videos are all just having fun with it. Thanks for tuning in though man. We appreciate it
Keep the vids coming man!!
LOVED my 04 Pro XR 440. Would kill for a Pro XR 800. Best looking sled ever made imo. But good taste in sleds man, IQR's are great sleds, Pro XR's are great, and the AC Sno Pro's weren't bad.
Give Er boys, last storm washed away my snow in central NH. Didnt have enough for ditch banging for sure I'm jelly
Looks like some good fun!!
Bro has been ditch bangin before... Using caution while coming up to those drieway approaches to spot the culverts. Nice job. :)
Exactly lol, those can be season enders
thats so cool i have watched that guys channel the one who has the iqr600 Grays Garage. man, I would love to ride with you sometime! great video. i love the pro x such a sick sled
great content good job guys
Love the sleds! I have a 19 600rs. Went from a 600rr(race replica) then to a 08 rs then my 19. Also don’t want to be that person but they changed the a arms and spindle in 2010!
Taking advantage of that snow! Makes me jealous! I wasn’t able to! So now waiting on the next front! Cool video!
Heck yeah! We got another 7-8 inches or so here yesterday so been out there ripping! This winter has been amazing here. Thanks for watching the vid and commenting! Glad you enjoyed it
@@DIPSTICKTV Us CZcamsrs have to stick together!!! Especially snowmobilers!!!! ❄️❄️❄️
Nice sleds!
I’ve had a few Pro X’s and a trail converted 800 swapped IQR, both sleds super fun and take an absolute beating. Definitely get what you pay for with the IQR for a more balanced ditchbanger, but can’t go wrong with either really.
I love the IQR. The prox is good too but there's no beating the rider forward platform. Thanks for watching the vid!
Now if you just had the 03 f7 you would have 3 of the best sleds ever built
My 06 fusion did the same thing was running awesome, shut it down to take a break went to start it. Nothing, dead, found the voltage regulator fried the brain box, after doing the voltage regulator upgrade and finding a new brain box it’s back up and running.
For your IQR. Make sure you have good compression make sure you have good spark make sure your carbs are getting fueled. Check your fuel pump and the pulse line going to the base to the fuel pump..
We got her popped off in the very end of the video. The 440 is just really finicky. Carbs got too cold
👍. Old one sounds better... But I'm Bias owning a 03 700 Pro-X
For some reason i always liked the older style sleds then the new ones my opinion i like the feel to it more
love small channels youve got my sub
Thanks!!
Always wanted to run an IQR for a day. Really enjoy the edge chassis tho. Mine has a rotax 670 in it. Way more fun lol
Man those sleds sound good I definitely want to get a newer sled just for ripping around, right now I got a 99 RMK 700 that I will probably never sell but it would be nice to have something a little more comfortable for longer rides
Right, just depends on what kind of riding you're looking to do! Thanks for tuning in
I live in Minnesota also and I have a 2011 iqr. Wondering what you and Cody are running for jetting in your sleds?
I had the same issue with an iqr 600, you could ride the beans out of it and park it for a day or so and boy was it hard to start. I had 16 iqr 600 and that's the sled that finally me off an 03 pro x 800, the feel is so different on the iqr, I now ride a 20 Indy xcr 600 and love it
I've heard those XCR's are great sleds. Never had the pleasure of getting to ride anything that new. In time! Thanks for watching the vid and commenting!
@@DIPSTICKTV where are you out of as we are in Wisconsin pretty much straight east of St cloud
Just sold my '16 Renegade Backcountry 800 and '12 800 Switchback here in NY. Just too much invested to let them sit, snow conditions haven't been good. Picked up an '03 Prox 800 to get me by. Almost more excited to ride the old ProX than I was my newer sleds.
Enjoy the winter and thanks for watching!!
Dennis Kirk has BMP cans feller. Not sure about your 440 there but they do have em for the 600.
Yeah, I did see that. For the 600 there are actually a few options still on the market but the 440 seems to only be Jaws. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching the vid!
I had a 02 pro x that had a crankshop 800 setup in it, 04 forward steering post, 04 skid and track... Thing wheelied on demand. Which got me in alot of trouble. I miss the insanity, don't miss my whole body aching for a week. Also don't miss fixing it after wheelieing into everything.
What do the others have for the steering post and why you change it?
@@moparsrt3941 the post stays the same but they used a big spacer up top and a angled shim at the bottom. Then you gotta trim the hood to make it fit
Nice little channel
Thanks for watching, man!
Would you guys know a good adjustable clutch weight kit for my 05 900 rmk? want to be able to switch weights easily for the hills and down here in southeastern south dakota.
i know the feeling on collectors item i got rare 01 snopro 440 fan its 1 of 500 made and i fully rebuilt everything on it so its best condition in long time lol
Oh nice! My first sled I got when I was 12 was a 2001 440 snopro fan that Tucker Hibbert’s second mechanic bought after the race season. Was a very rare sled. I regretted selling it after I did but that was a long time ago and there’s always different rare sleds to try to get the hands on! Thanks for watching!
Forget the 04 pro xr... Take that 03 and put an 800 in it, get the 04 hoop and the other parts needed to complete the rider forward steering. Boom you got a pro xr that you dont need to leave in the shop bc it's too rare to beat on.
I had´hat triple. Run that same lake hundreds of times (at my home country) Now we had lot of -35c snow and wind. There was an nice ice jump what I use every day. Now it looked litle bit larger so I wen't full power. Behind jump, clear ice and you are tree high at the jump. Yeah, did not end nice for that polaris.
2016 iqr was my old sled prior too Levi owning it
If the 440 has race fuel in it you will never get it to fire if it sat outside over night. If it does sit outside take a heat gun and heat the float bowls before you try to start it and it should take off.
Lesson learned for sure. It's getting it's own heated blanket lol. Thanks for watching
@@DIPSTICKTV let me know if you end up getting a 600r. i happen to know a thing or 2 about them that you wont get from places that sell jet and clutch "kits" just to get their hands on your money
I always wanted a long tracked iqr with a 910…
2011 was the first year of the newer style spindles, didn’t sound like that 16 was even getting on the pipe. What were the specs in the carbs on that, sounds loud but not crisp.
yeah he had it running really rich. This was the first actual ride he had really been on with it since rebuilding it all. Appreciate you watching!
Sounds great tho!
Thanks! Carbs were just cold on her. Left it out overnight in the snow and it's temperamental running on race gas. Thanks for watching! New video releasing tonight!
I would like to think if you bolted some CPI race pipe on that 440 would wake right up
It's swapped to a 600 liberty
@@DIPSTICKTV that is a good swap. CPI would be so great
Where in mn are you?
i have a skidoo 2021 mxz 600rs race sled 🙏
Wasn’t there only 500 pro xr 800s ever produced ? Could be wrong tho
Check the pickup tube in the tank unless you already checked that
Cody got it running at the end of the video. Cold carbs
I have some IQR and Pro X and XR parts
Nice riding footage.
I'm just curious @5:15 what are you reving at?
oof, i'm honestly not even positive. I would have to watch closer next time i ride it. Not sure what it even revs to with that 600 liberty.
try plugs my skidoo did same thing to me a week ago
Whered you get the red bull helmet??
Custom painted it few years back.
Want to trade the IQR for a 1978 International Transtar 2 4070 Semi tractor ? Runs and drives great and in great shape well mantained by the previous owner since the early 80s... I'm in Northern Wisconsin by Superior.
Got dumped on just north into canada then rained today to crust the pow😢
Check powervalves,fuel pump,jets
Tommy's F5 was the fuel pump, he's working on that fix. My IQR is shown in the very end of the vid starting up. Was just too cold. Thanks for watching!
Check your stator.
Does the new iq take much gas?
Not too bad compared to any other race sled I have experience with
How bout the 2019 iqr?
The IQ Racer (IQR) was the race model based on the IQ chassis. it ended in 2016. 2017+ are the 600R on the Axys chassis
i have a 600 iqrr and it get toooooo mutch fuel couse its blurring and can't even stay on for like 5 mins
Jetting issue I would guess. Cody is running 420 main, 50 pilot, needle on #2 click from the top, fuel screw 2 turns out. Maybe that gives you a bit of a basis if you start messing around with yours.
It doesn’t look like your 440 is even reaching full rpms. Is it jetted to fat?
Never mind I see you have a 600 in it and not the 440
Right, swapped with a 600 Liberty.
I wanna know where you for that sled for 1800 bucks
I bought it back in 2018 at HayDays. Guy was asking $2200 and talked him down to $1800. I actually have the old vids still up on the channel of both the HayDays experience and then a couple days later I went and picked the sled up. Also have the original bill of sale with the paid amount on it still. Was certainly a good deal at the time but it’s almost an impossible deal nowadays. I did see a 2003 up here in MN for $2300 earlier this season though. Condition and shape looked decent but hard to tell until you get there and look at them.
Same prox edge chassis as mine
Great sleds! Technically the race model isn't an "edge chassis", there were a few modifications made to the factory race sleds to make it more durable for the track but its very close. The consumer model ProX is still an edge chassis but the race specifc ProX with the walker evans clickers and race mods could only be purchased in 03-04 if you had a race license. Only 500 made.
I could maybe get a picture of it for you
If you want
Mine is a o2
@@Coppersniper if you want to you can send on Instagram at dipstick.tv
Need acomple inches of powder here that rain was stupid 🙄
That rain was absolutely ridiculous
Mouse in your pipe? Odd for sure 🤔
Pro x is not an Edge chassis. They look similar but there are many differences.
I suppose that's very true. All race chassis are altered. Thanks for tuning in!
@DipstickTV Great video. Years ago I had a new 04 Pro x2 600 and a 04 pro xr 440. Those sleds were a lot of fun and in my opinion the best handling of any trailing arm sled ever made.
38 like 😎
Cold carbs isn’t a thing. Water in the gas is probably the cause
I’m from Canada and we can start a sled in -55
Are you running on high compression with 110 race gas? It's pretty well known that IQRs are a bit finicky if you're familiar with the platform. These aren't consumer sleds we're running here...
Id bring it inside its probably froze up
If they won't start gas fire compressin
Check reeds had a chipped reed before and wouldn’t start
Carbs were just too cold. The 440s are finiky and its still on race gas so she just needs a heated blanket i'm thinking. Or a good trailer...
I got a 2011 assault 800 162 I will trade you for the iqr
Oof.. definitely a good sled but too dang much track for me!
If you can get them old 440s for $1800 il take 10 please
Yeah, costs have went up on them a lot these past couple years. Bought that sled in 2018 at HayDays for $1800.
It probably won't start because it's a new polaris the old ones are better
I don't know how people can like 4 stroke sleds,me I never change I like 2 stoke to much ,I had 4 stroke sleds I never like them.. to me 4 stroke sleds sounds like to much like a motorcycle to me
4 strokes have their place and will keep getting better but I'm right there with you, 2 stroke race sleds for me. Thanks for tuning into the vid!
I know the problem......ain't got no gas in it.
I’ll take the iqr off your hands😂 Im running a 95 formula ss
oh yeah, the good old formulas 😂
If you want to get rid of the iqr I have a 2015 apollo 150 we could trade
No plans on parting with the IQR anytime soon. Thanks for watching though
None of them are throw aways just figure it out
lol it was just major sarcasm. I have an old video agreeing with your point 100%. We get it running at the end of the video as well so it will be back on the snow soon.
600 compared to a 440? I would like to bet on the loser
Northern New York is the same….. we just got 18 inches of fresh pow pow and then it’s going to get up to 50’
Hello from Cortland!
man we dont have enough in michigan to get out yet. really think its dead around this area. the winters are so much more calm then they used to be
This is actually abnormal for us the last few years. I actually talk about that towards the end of one of the more recent vids. We just got lucky here where i'm at in MN this year. How far are you from the UP? Lots of snow there!
@@DIPSTICKTV yeah same out here, that storm after Christmas got me and the buddy's excited. Got the sleds going and then rain, now we have nothing. 2 out of the last 5 years had any decent ride time.
Where you guys at? I could use some help if you're anywhere near Northern Colorado lol
Bit of a travel lol We're in East Central MN
I know what's wrong, "it's a Polaris" 🫠
