I picked up a leftover FX Nytro in April. Now i"m getting it ready to go and I noticed the antifreeze overflow jug is almost completely empty. Just in case any air got in there I want to bleed it. The last thing I need, is overheating first time out. Then my two bros. will be all over me cause they are both sporting new f8s. Can anyone tell me how to do this correctly? Also am I right i assuming I will beat the f8s 0-70?

I think (if its the same way as the phazer) there should be a black rubber cap take that off and you should see a valve of some sort. When i did was take a bit of clear hose ( so i could see any bubbles) and put it on the air bleed valve and ran the other end of the hose back into the reservoir and ran the sled until i was happy that there where no more bubbles in the lines.
Make sure that the reservoir doesn't empty out.
If this isent a good way i am sure others will chime in.

Just tip the sled slightly, the opposite side of the rad cap. Remove cap start sled, with a flashlight look in the rad, if it is circulating then you are good to go. If not then squeeze the large coolant hose below the battery slow till you remove the airbubbles and the coolant starts to circulate.

It is self bleeding. The overflow hose goes into the tank from the bottom.Just make sure the radiator is filled and then fill the overflow tank to the proper level. Run it until warm, then let it cool down, then fill the overflow tank again and you should be good to go. Just make sure you use the sighting port (left side, behind suspension) to see where your level is.

LISTEN TO THIS MAN! I don't understand why people keep posting these crazy threads about lifting their sled way up in the air or whatever. I don't see car shops lifting cars way up on one end doing a coolant flush, or semis or tractors either.
Where did this come from? Just drain it, fill it up and run the sled to get it warm to open the thermostat to fully circulate the coolant, let it cool this creates a vacuum in the system if there is air in it and the little hose from the top of the coolant bottle goes way up to the rad filler neck so it can suck it up to keep it full, now if you didn't fill it up enough and run it sure it will suck the res dry and there will be a problem if you don't check it again. But i digress, stop lifting up sleds save the muscle for the mountain!

Easy.....
Yes self bleeding no.need to worry. As for the overflow, if you ride the rough often a loop in the drain hose on the research will keep your fluid in the research and off the ground. Better yet get a longer hose and reroute.
Phazer, yes, you have to pull the rubber plug. They call them both FX but they are far from the same.
