I've been tenderfooting it around and have escaped any damage. Not really enough snow yet to go hog wild. Hopefully i didn't just jinx myself
 
Nytro came through unscathed,
broke 2 right side idler wheels off my 98 Mach Z landing on a bit of an angle.
 
crashed the MM700 and took out the left side radius rods, trailing arm, shock, tie rod, ski, and some other cosmetic stuff.

tweaked the front end on the nytro, going to have to straighten that...again... i'll have to see where it bent as well so that i can fix it over next summer. i have just accepted that bending the front end is a fact of life on this sled.
also took out a handguard on the nytro, but thats cheap and easy to replace.
 
nytro

I've been sledding since Nov 2nd and no damage until last Friday. I was side hilling and hit my sway bar on a rock. It pushed it back into the oil pan and cracked it, It bend my sub frame and both upper and lower a-arm.2 grand later I'm back in action.
 
Broken handguard mount, first ride. I've since taken the handguards off. After going through 2 guards and 2 mounts now since purchasing I realized that these just aren't going to cut it.

If I do go back to handguards, they will be Acerbic Flag MX Lights with Powermadd mounts like I had on my Firecat. Tough as nails.

I've stayed clean for 7 rides. I have 2 buddies with boosted broken bark buster nytros :)


One of those buddies would be me, and sledskiing was having boost problems so I don't think those first few rides count!

I've had 1 upper tie rod snapped on an TS A-arm.
3, Count them 3 BBBBNytro lower a-arms. :die

I have given up on the branch buster front end and re-installed the stock front end with new lower bearings. I tested it out pretty well last weekend on a good sized chunk of bark with no problems :Rockon:

Anyone want a sweet deal on TS spindles and upper A arms in Red?
 
Here are some pics for the thread...
