i know that it has 55 hp i know this because thats the only way that it would be able to race in cross country or whatever they raced. as 4 top speed i couldnt tell you. i would imagine around 90 mph.

It does have 65 hp and will go fast , but I have yet to drive one with a working speedo, so top speed?

It will carry the skis, but I dont know about a wheelie, from my experience they have no low end torque and dont hook up well enough with a 1/2 in lug track.

But hang on when you hit that power band, its very impressive.

Good luck getting it running.

what rpm is the power band

ND1 · Post by **ND1** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 9:32 pm

5500-6000 is where it starts and is strong all the way to 8700

If you want to do wheelies get a striped down trailfire 440
thats my funnest sled to drive, lots of torque and hooks up well with the cleated track on hardpack! and weighs alot less.

I had my 80 Liquifire out last night and I was topping in the 90-95 mph according to my speedo.
