2" track on the Nytro XTX! :tg: LOL! We set ourselves up for this every year.

If you like railing high speed sweepers you might be disappointed, but beyond that, mine has been better than I thought in the flatlands. The Maverick does suck though.

I have a 47 deg helix and pink secondary spring sitting on my bench. I was in the mountains last spring and didn't ride around here much after that, so I haven't got around to putting them in. According to the smart guys here, that combo will dial my revs in for my elevation.

I do the same with mine. I haven't had any heating issues, but it eats sliders like it's going out of style unless you run scratchers. I'm at about 1700' elevation and it over rev's as well with stock clutching.

Last time I replaced the decking on the trailer, I actually looked at the old plywood for a minute and said, hey I might be able to use this again and came up with the front and back pieces that slide in when in utility trailer mode. They look a little ghetto, but work quite well...

I home built this one about 15 years ago. Drive on drive off. It's 6 feet wide with the sides up and 8" 2" with them down. Lots of miles on it and has been very handy in it's second role as a utility trailer.

What's a sucker car? I would have guessed you were running some kind of oval with the big wings. I wouldn't have thought you get enough speed in parking lot racing to have the aero make that much difference. Cool stuff :flag:

Both please. What kind of racing are you doing with it?

Oddly enough, I've noticed the same thing on my stock, 09 MTX 153. The left extrovert is pristine and the right is beat to rat poop. It has never been apart from factory and nothing appears to be bent or out of alignment either. I'll have a closer look at it when I pull the skid for a track swap.

My "reading between the lines" from the sled blog is the race front end gives up something to get those high speed manners. Sort of why some of the other OEM's use race chassis' that they don't bother selling as a consumer sled. They suck for the average rider.

I'm guessing Yam is walking a thin line with patents. They set the pricing of the kit so high that nobody in their right mind would buy them, while still allowing them to do some racing in some classes. If they made them widely available and the design is "close" to other OEM's they would have...

They aren't making them for mountain skids yet. I had a hint that they would offer them as soon as they knew they were going to work out OK on the shorter tracked sleds.

Missed the annual boys weekend ride up at Candle because we have tickets for the dine and dance. :o| I guess I'll have to get drunk and :-o instead.

Holy chit! About time you got that thing back together. I'll take it to Valemount to break it in if you like. :Rockon:

I could see that. A friend bought an 1100T High Country this fall that's pretty impressive. It would be nice to not have to spend a bunch of extra cash on a XTX to get the same thing.

My MTX is bouncing off the rev limiter as well. From advice on here, a 47deg helix on the secondary with a pink spring and a 1-6 pre-load should get it close. I have the parts on the way, so I'll know how it works in a couple of weeks. If the dealer is only charging you a hundy to dial it...

I noticed the manual for my Nytro recommends oil filter changes at 20,000km intervals! :drink:

There is a set of slidekicks laying on the floor of my garage and a new set of the plain spring type are mounted on my sled. I never had an issue with the slidekicks loosening, but they did not do a good enough job on hard pack or icy conditions.

Great project! :Rockon: Now, just pray for some darn snow.

LOL! Bad day for team blue! Good thing your friends are strong like bull.
