Well after running asphalt this summer, its time to set the sled up for trail riding and I'm changing things up a bit this year from last. I had iceage make up a shorter set of rails going from the 144 ripsaw to a 136 1" hacksaw track with striaght rails instead of the tip ups. Running 168 hornets to start off with, and plan to mix in some chiesels depending on who is showing up. Had rear shocks revalved, front floats upgraded to the evo kit. I purchased a supreme tool primary at the begining of summer for asphalt racing so there will be some clutch tuning for the snow along with a team tied secondary. I had the front A arms chromed and the rear grab handle for looks. I've ordered a couple of different windshields as I put on the gauage pod from the older Apex last year for more windshield choices. There may be a few perfromance ehancements thown in there too - but that stuff is kept secrect . Oh and I may buy a new pair of boots too.

Going from 23t top gear to 21, custom clutch kit from hartman, new speedrox hand gards, and will be running 12psi of boost since I have a/f gauge this season.

Going from stock Nytro XTX with bolt on hop up parts to MCX 270. Not much available for track choices in 144" length. Highly considering14" wide x 1.5" Free ride track at the moment to accommodate 14-15psi of boost.

I went from a 121" to a 151"x13.5"x1.25' predator in my ZX2 suspension. Also had it dyno tuned by ulmer and picked up over 30 track HP with traction and new found power in the clutching it should punish the shoulders pretty good. Hoping to break 150mph on the dream meter again haven't done that in awhile.
Lets hope for snow!

Picked up my new Nytro XTX today at a dealer who also sells cats and while at the service counter noticed a pallet of tracks. Found my track I was searching for no longer made by Camoplast, a 144" x1.25" x15" fully clipped Predator. These tracks are the most durable tracks ever made and will be a perfect for turbo..

Really the most durable? I had one on my viper and after 3600 miles it looked worse then my ripsaw with similar miles... Maybe I had a fluke?

Way more durable then a Ripsaw!!! Did you ever bend the lugs of a Predator and then a Ripsaw, not to mention the rubber is softer these days on trail performance tracks..

Boost Controller to be able to drop boost for trail riding if deemed necessary.
Going from a 144 partially clipped non studded 1 1/4" Ripsaw to a fully Clipped 144" x 14" x 1" Hacksaw. Starting with Megabyte 1.17's and will go longer if need be and clearance is fine.
Been a challenge since all tunnel & cooler protection & fasteners supports etc were removed & the under tunnel inter cooler goes where 2 protector supports used to be.
Thanks for the advice Robbie. I'm not 100% happy with what my friends & I came up with on the left side but I think it will b OK.

Ulmer is changing stock nytro to a mpi stage one with head shim, pcv, auto tune, ignition module, upgraded fuel pump, head shim, and van amberg shorty tunnel cooler. Also added mbrp header and ultra Q exhaust. Hoping for just under 220 hp on pump gas with this setup. Waiting for dyno numbers from this weekend.
