440's are a blast in the twisty's, because of how light they are and easy to throw around.
Doo used to make a fan 440, and a liquid 440 in the 90's. The fanner was noticeably lighter then the liquid version, IIRC it was around a 40-50 lb difference, which is pretty noticeable. Those fanners were such a blast on a single digit or sub-zero day, in the twisty's you could really throw them around, out on a lake they would get smoked, back in the woods you'd pass about everyone again.
I still have a doo mxz 440, thou I have put stickers on it, in 7-8 years. Fun sled thou for the tight stuff.
I looked up the specs.
'98 doo mxz 440 liquid cooled dry weight, 440 lbs.
'98 doo mxz 440 fanner dry weight 380 lbs.
I had a mxz 440 fanner winter of 97-98, it was a light weight blast in the woods.
I also had a Mach Z 800 that winter, dry weight of almost 570 lbs, it was fun on the lakes & rivers, or wide open logging roads, or ole railroad beds, up in the UP, it sucked in the twisty's. I'd take my 440 fanner any day if we were going to stay in the twisty's.
