I just pulled my skid for a track change and realized both rails have damage to them, what skids would fit a 2005 vector rs? I also want to stay with 121" as I just bought a new track and dont want to buy another one.

Put in a non electric shock 121" Monoshock from any 121 Apex or 06-newer Vector. 08 or newer would be better as the W arm/front arm is stronger.

Put in a FAST M10 and never look back. Used ones are out there and mount kits (easy) from FAST are available too. Or try barnofparts.com for a replacement skid or rails. I don't think it's worth fixing it though. Those skids ride terrible IMO.I just pulled my skid for a track change and realized both rails have damage to them, what skids would fit a 2005 vector rs?

I was actually looking at a m10 but was concerned about the lack of weight transfer settings on those suspensions. I am also wanting to take the more load off my c&a pros. Instead a spent a couple hundred and am going to rebuild it. Thank you for the suggestion!Put in a FAST M10 and never look back.

Easy to take the weight off the front with an M10. Hard to do on a Mono. I just adjust the front shock to my liking.
Oh well..........

I know. I have a 2005 Vector which I bought in February 2005. Rode 700 miles the rest of the season and was going to dump the sled because it rode so bad. A friend sold me his lightly used M10. I've been in heaven ever since!This sled has a proactive suspension for this year
