Should I fix the original front end or Go Zbroz ?

[jp111]

I recently purchased a 09 xtx that is in need of some repairs, the left side of the suspension took a shot and bent the upper a-arm and the subframe is bent. The steering knuckle is also showing signs of being loose at one time, it will also need the usual ball joints and a-arm bushings. When I add up the font suspension replacement parts I am about half way to the Zbroz front end.
My question is for guys that have the z-broz front end is it worth the extra money.
If so what did it change most about the sled.
Does it come with better a-arm bushings?
Thanks for the advice, I am planing on doing a bunch of mods to this thing this summer, but this will be the most expensive one time purchase.

Thanks again, Joe

i had the same dilemma and chose to upgrade to the zbroz, looks nicer, feels more stable and turns smoothly. so far i am real happy with it, but never rode one that wasnt loose to compare. i bought mine used and all joints were in need of replacement.

i do have the origanal set in yellow if u need any parts.

When is the skins stuff going to be available. My plan is to buy a part every month for this thing so I can do a complete transformation this fall. Is the skins stuff going to be a complete front end, a-arms or? . Sorry skins is mispelled stupid smart phones.

Skinz will have a trail version and a mtn version.They said the trail version is like the handling of a ferrari on the trail.

Anyone know where to find any info on the skinz front end?..........

 

[bottlerocket]

I searched and found nothing on it either!

It's being discussed in the Nytro MTX forum. mtdream and others have been doing prototype testing.

 

[jp111]

Any Idea of a potential release date?

 

[beeze455]

Nobody is really saying and they are still testing. The rumor is they have sombody testing above AK right now. Companies gotta do a lot of testing and tweaking to do what makes sense and then pricing and marketing stuff, so it could be a bit. I have absolutely no idea though. LOL.

The other main question is will it require fox evols or can we use our stock shocks?
