- 08' Nytro RTX 40th Anniversary - Stretched
I just picked up this 08' RTX 40th today on a great deal for my next ride project. I have been riding a stretched 09' Phazer RTX for the past 4 seasons. I love my Phazer especially after all of the mods I have done to it. I have taken it as far as I can shy of putting a turbo on it. There are about 25 - 30% of the riding time I wish I had more power. Hence the Nytro now sitting in my garage.
This sled has already been stretched with Tracks USA tipped rail extensions and a 15" x 1.25" x 144" Ripsaw track. This Nytro seems to have been well kept and is super clean with 5,666 miles on it. Got a great deal on this sled, couldn't pass it up!
The Good:
Super crazy clean
144" stretch
Rox 6-8" adjustable riser
SS extended brake hose
Extended throttle cable
Mo-Flow cowl vent
(2) extra sets of wheels in skid
Dumbo ears
Exhaust turn out
The Not So Good:
Steering pivot bracket egged out hole
Tweaked subframe (I think its off 1/8 - 1/4" on one side)
A-arm bushings shot
Spindle bushings shot
My plan is to ride the Phazer the rest of this season and start to tear down the Nytro to get it ready for next year. 1st project is to pull the sub frame and weld up the steering pivot. Then square up the a-arm mounts and then weld in one of grizztracks frame reinforcement bracket kits. A UP Bushman spindle kit and Oil-Light a-arm bushings, and a pair of OFT steering mounts will finish up the front end. The rest will be going thru the sled from top to bottom. Should be fun. G.B.
