I am 16, I finally decided my o7 phazer just wasn’t cutting it for me anymore and upgraded to an 09 Nytro MTX 153, but need some help I ride 70% off trail 30% on groomed trails, I have mountain techs A arms and need some help for a good limiter strap set up and suspension, just would like a little help forming a base line to start at on my Nytro

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
