ALL DONE HERE ARE PICS Relocateing a 2006 Apex rtx skid

[LazyBastard]

Now here's your real test;

Loosen off the shock all the way and try to compress the suspension fully to the bump stop.

Does the track get tighter when you do that preventing the suspension from compressing?

 

[APEX 06]

I have land on the bump stops about 20 times now and it all works out great. I had check this before I rode it using a ram to push the rear of the sled down. Till it hit the bump stops.

Pictures showing the improved angle of attack.

do you have pictures of all 4 mounts from the outside of the tunnel? curious as to what u did with the rear mounts

 

[Malmlof]

Thanks for posting your modification, it looks great.

The approach angle seems to be very low, based on my attak moving the skid back 4" would make the angle about 18dgr. The same as the new Nytro MTX.

Do you experience any negative effects on the trail, like heavy steering or changed balance?

I have a little more push in the corners but that is most likely from the add track. It fells more balance now that It has more track out back to make up for the front end.

This is the only pic I have of the rear mount on the right side.

 

[leepster]

how did you cover up the left over holes? and what about the mono shock adjust dial thingy?

 

[APEX 06]

I just left them open. I just get a little snow on the left side from where the mono was but thats only when the snow is real deep.

Love the graphics on some of these sleds.

Thought I would give an up date. I pull the skid out this weekend to put in a new track. Found I will need to add a set of anti stab wheels the track is hitting the tips of the a lot more then I like. And thinking about a new cooler for the back of the tunnel to help with icing. And add new rivets the ones I had in are popping out. Lol but other then that its all looks good.

Apex 06 - Just a update on the heat exhchanger are you hitting it at all with the track when you bottom out? I am thinking of going long and I have the same little exchanger and hoping that if I move the Zx2 down I can clear it. Can you give a little info on what you did or had to cut if anything? Thanks!

 

[APEX 06]

From what I can till I have not hit it yet. I didn't cut a thing its the same as when it was a 121" same place. Here's a pic of it after almost 1500miles.
