Do you need a trail tank for this type of racing? How many miles to a race?. Looks like fun!!

not necessarily, but it's also my trail sled and i desperately needed more than 85mi range between fuel stops. this past weekend i got over 100mi on a tank of hard ridding. uscc east sport and improved classes run about 20-25mi each.
 
Did you get a chance to try your "new" clutching?
 
Good luck! You plan on putting a different front end on.......either skinz, z bros or the big $ yami race frontend?
 
Nice! Show them what a Nytro can do.

not allowed in stock class. ran the race front end for 1 race last year before it was banned from stock class. i run the same stock sled in stock and improved. cant even run the hygear arms.

floats are my spare front shocks. just got the coil overs back from hygear after mild tweak. i will say dropping to a 20T top gear has made a huge improvement to the XTX.

Oh I got ya, still have the race front end or you sell it

it was on "loan" from YMC. not the kind of thing they let you keep it you're not using it for competition.
