2011 MTX 162 skid swap opinions

[R.Lejonklo]

Hello, i have an mtx with the chromemolly upgrades. I may need new rails, or get them welded. If i should use the Polaris 155" skid, will my shocks fit and is it much modifications needed with mounting holes?

Problem is that i can not get any new OEM rails or iceage in Sweden. Do you think it is possible to just use the Polaris 155" rails with the rest of my skid?

odds are not likely that the rails will work with the nitro arms. you could just take the measurements from the doner sled tunnel (based off of drive axle) and mount that skid with some rail extensions if you are keeping the 162" track. no need for rail extensions if sapping to the 155 track.

Does anybody know if the pro rmk 163" skid will fit as easy as the 155"?

anything can be made to fit if the time is taken to make sure it is mounted in properly. done it on old sleds that parts are obselete for.

The Polaris 155 skid drops right into factory holes and is a really good skid in the nytro. And plenty of them around so no problem with parts in future.

Thanks. Can i use my stock fox float shocks with the polaris skid?

As long as the shocks are the same centre to centre it should work

So i did bolt the pro rmk 155 skid in today. But i was way to much slack on the track. Did you use bigger rear wheels than the 180 mm stock? Or is my skid in the right mounting position in the front? I could use my bigger upper wheels but i dont think it would be enough..
