Well, I was out for my first ride yesterday. Our Highlands was getting pounded with wrap around sea effect snow for a few days, didn't think it was going to be as plentiful as it was, but I'm not complaining one bit ! Conditions were incredible, anywhere from 2-4 feet of fresh snow on top of a 10" base, and drifts 6-10 feet high, however, visibility was nil at times, still, not complaining. Yesterday was also the first time I was able to test out my new to me Float X shocks I purchased/traded from rcguy. I decided to bump them up to 80 lbs in each shock, and run the clickers close to the middle @ 8 clicks out on both compression and rebound. Guys, anyone who's running standard Floats on your FX Nytro, spend the money and get the Float X shocks, or opt for the SE model when purchasing a new sled, they're that good ! I couldn't get over how well these shocks responded, they absorbed impact a lot better than the Floats, and I'm only beginning to fine tune them. All in all, VERY HAPPY with the Float X shock upgrade. Yesterday was also my first day riding with the Oft relocator installed. Long gone is the sloppy play in my steering, and the added height in the bars was perfect for stand up riding. I may add a few inches in height to my seat to accomodate my vertically challenging situation, but that's something I was intending on doing anyway. Overall, an excellent product from oft racing :Rockon:

Here's a few pics from yesterday's ride.

Glad you like the new shocks. First ride is always good. Looks like you enjoyed it. I will be riding here soon on the west coast here in Newfoundland for a couple days during Christmas.
So you like the new Oft relocator. I will be putting mine on shortly.
 
Yeah dealer offered to trade plus $$$ for float X but I haited my std floats...didn't know the X shoxs were that good at the time
