Apex rtx rear skid rear shock replacement

[maxdlx]

Has anyone replaced the rear shock on an rtx with a fox float. Mine is getting weak and need to either replace it or rebuild it. I'm hoping there's a float that will work. Thanks Maxdlx

I wish somebody would chime in on this one, I have always wondered the same.

Ya. Absolutely.
I have replaced my stock kyb shock in my 06 rtx with the fox mega float.
This will be my 3rd season on the megafloat. About 4000 miles on it so far.
I like it more than the stock kyb

Hi guys , i have an 06 apex er , i dont know if it is same skid has an rtx , anyways replaced the original coil spring shock with a megafloat and i am lovin it, i ride very agressive and it realy gets the job done .

no complaints here.

Well mine is a 07 with the ck skid so no float for me. Wondering if there's an ohlins or axis or something out there.

07-09 RTX had kyb dual shock set up. I don't think Fox makes a float that fits the ck, there are not many of them out there, so market is very small, manufactures never made many aftermarket options, leaving you only a revalve and rebuild as an option. Go with a multi stack revalve and rebuild, it made a world of difference to my skid. Check out the sticky at the top of the apex forum by Rex. I use his setup very happy with it. I also use a Hygear dual stage spring on the front skid shock..... now if I could only get this skid to turn a track as efficiently as a Mono......

hey Thanks Mine turns the track good, its fully open windows with extras run really loose. LOL

Will a nitro rtx rear ohlins work. Same length as my stock shock
