    How do I improve maneuverability on a Nytro M-TX

    I have ran AC skids for years in my nypex and on my apex mtn. Currently running a 2010 M8 float skid, way better attack angle and alot lighter too!

    Switching from Apex to Nytro

    Those motor are similar but the nitro is a bit stronger on the bottom. They still pull nice you just miss the linear torque feel that the four cylinder has. It does lift into the corners but mine is off trail and has a narrow front end. The older ones(pre 2010 I believe) had trenching issues...

    Switching from Apex to Nytro

    Had one of the first Apex Mtns in AK in 2006. Rode that for 5 years slowly modding it to help with weight, handled ok and that motor is bliss. I switched to a 2008 nitro mtn in 2011 and although I like the rider forward I would miss the power difference. The HP is close on paper(15hp) but the...

    2015 Chain case help

    Not sure about the case numbers but the driveshaft nut looks almost like a 70's chevy hub tool, maybe make your own out of a socket? Would only have to get a couple tabs on it, can't have that much torque. Drew can't get the case numbers for you?

    Longer track VS Deeper lug

    I remember the wifes phased before I sold it, and it would tractor anywhere with the factory 2.25x14 track. You could just not go over 25 mph in the deep stuff, and an medium size hill, forget about it. I wanted to put a 153-155x2.25 on it but never got the chance. Seems like it would pull it...

    2012 AK sled build

    Looks sweet. If you still wondered center to clutch side is 18" and center to oil tank is 18.5". Thats with the apex motor in there as my plastic is beat up for sure! My CTC is 36.5 " also just for reference, my spindles stick a small bit past the plastic. Just looking at it from the front like...

    theoretical sled design

    Nytro, 2012 Proclimb,07 M1000 pics with attack angle. Even know the angle looks close you can see that the AC set up seems to climb on the snow a little better. It might have to do with my location on the nytro, adn driver size. Also seems larger drivers could help this alot.

    theoretical sled design

    Do you have cat rails also? 20 degrees seems steep. I have a cat rails and they are shallow as ever, maybe 12 degrees. What is the factory cat angle? Budddy with M1k cat has a bit shallower angle than mine and that this climbs on the snow really well. If you could get closer to 10 degrees and...

    100lbs ice in the tunnel

    My tunnel extension is made from UHMW and nothing sticks to it, but the rest of the tunnel is loaded. Been thinking tube chassis and plastic tunnel?

    100lbs ice in the tunnel

    OK,, weekend testing and with the 15" wide( stabbed my 16" Last year) and wet snow the cooler and exhaust was the only melted spots under the tunnel. Sled must have weighed 140 extra pounds!!!! It was like dragging a dead body around!! Turbo was working overtime. Found some Surefoot Coating...

    100lbs ice in the tunnel

    I just used a double run of 1" aluminum piping and just ran them both down the right side( mine was a FX shorty before the change and did not have the MTX cooler), just looped in a cooler(arctic cat). I would think you could remove the factory MTX cooler and run your own lines and a cooler out...

    100lbs ice in the tunnel

    I have a 08 with a custom turbo setup and even with an arctic cat rear cooler and hard line plumbing going back there it still gets a good bit of ice build up. Less than a stock I think with the cooler melting alto but still more than I like. I am changing my tunnel Ext and bumper out and am...

    About $19.00 a month with State-Farm (06 Mountain), but have had them for about 15 years. Call around, my buddie has progressive and his 04 summit is only $28.00 a month. TL
