And I weigh around 145 lbs, hope someone has a base set up for me because I am kinda new to this Nytro thing, my dad has one and I rode it and that’s where I got the idea from but he said he got his set up from here

Welcome to the site! I have a 08 nytro MTX and I'll tell you what I found worked pretty good. First I pulled the limiter straps all the way in(as tight as they go) this will help with the approach angle and wont trench so bad. This has a down fall on the trail though but putting a ton of pressure on the skis. I also have my front skid shock set to light to medium. For the transfer rods on the back of the skid I have them set so my skid doesn't transfer much. I have a mountain tech front end too and I have my shocks set pretty stiff with no sway bar. This should help you get started. I know I find myself tweaking the settings per ride I go on. Have fun with it!

 

[Mason Sorensen]

Thank you very much this will definitely give me a good start and I will use your advice

What track do you have on that sled? Stock?

 

[Mason Sorensen]

I’m not sure if it’s stock, it’s a 2.5 camoplast and I have Ulmer a clutch on mine

 

[Mason Sorensen]

Is stock limiter strap setting second whole?

 

[Deeppow16]

I'm not sure what the stock setting is. I just pulled them all the way in from the get go. If you have the 2.5 Camo then you will be set because the stock track that came on these sleds was horrible. Its called the maverick track just in case you here about it later but if you do a quick search on the forum you will see how bad it is.

 

[Mason Sorensen]

have you ever had a problem with the tops of your spindles getting worn out

 

[Deeppow16]

Like the hole on the top for the bolt connecting to the arm? My spindles got a little beat up because my old stock arms the ball joints when out and the arm was riding on the spindle top that way.

 

[Mason Sorensen]

Yah my spindles when I bought this sled we’re all wore out and I had to order new ones but all the ball joints felt solid so I was just wondering if it was kinda common

 

[Deeppow16]

Yeah IDK how common it is. Mine just got beat up because the joint went out which is common on the stock set up. You should never have to replace your mountain tech joints as those are 100X better. I should probably buy new spindles because mine are tweaked ever so slightly but I'm just going to run with it.

 

[Mason Sorensen]

ok thank you very much for your input it is very much appreciated

I have a question for u about your mountain tech front end, have you ever bent the bolts that go through the top ball joint and the spindles
