Just getting back into snowmobiling . Drove an srx 700 this year and loved it how ever I have back issues and find it a bit hard on me for long rides especially with no reverse and often having to manually turn it around as I like to explore and of trail ride. I trail ride and ditch bang but good ditch banging matchine is what's most important to me. What 4 stroke sled is best for me. Looking for something from around 2010

The Nytro is a good option for a 4s ditchbanger, however they are also known to have a weak subframe. It's the frame that the A-arms attach to and it's easily damaged. You can beef it up with Grizz Gussets and should be good to go. I'd suggest at least 136" at least.

Is the nitro the best ditch sled Yamaha makes in a 4 stroke

I think alot of members will agree . Yes. I'm a nytro rider and love it. Just do some research in nytro forum and you'll see. Just my 2 cents.

Sub frame can easily, if not already done be upgraded and strengthened.

Is there a big difference in handling and performance between the xtx and rtx

I'd pick it up. Just need to dump fox floats for gytr shocks. Mines a rtx it was a little rough ride for me only being 175 lbs. But some spring changes and shock revalving and rides great now. I also did the star relocate to 128" for many reasons if you read up on it.

Mechanical talk is like French to me. I just gas and go but I'll put all your notes on file for my mechanic. He's a yamaha genius. Just need to get the check book from my wife now. Don't know how I ever made it through winter befor I had a sled know I can't wait for next winter. Hope this nitro rocks. Still going to keep the srx though just won't take it on all day rides. Spare my back

Nytro's pull like a freight train. You'll love the grunt. Puts a smile on my face every time I push the love flipper.

How far can u go on a tank. I ran out of gas this year with my srx on a ride . I was the only one that ran out but we all were getting down pretty good however I do like to punch it on every little hump and bump so might have something to do with my empty tank
