174x16x3" nytro Build

[triple Black]

Just finished an amazing week of riding in Revelstoke over newyears. The new ride worked better than expected though the bottemless base that came from a week of straight snow. A good fealing because i built the sled intirely in our garage in revelstoke. Sure to be a sled to watch out for in revy this year.

sled is an mcx nytro with large fuel pump and programed fuel box for 18psi. It rides on a 174x16x3" challenger from Tracks Canada "thanks for gettin me the track Curtis"

Thanks to Daryl and lance @ racers edge for the best rear skid I can imagine in that sled. the billit plates let us keep a big center to center so very limited rail hangin out and no big lever point. Real quality piece, nice Tig work Lance!

Thanks to Chad at CR for the tunnel and most of the bolt on parts, all real quality stuff. The 174 tunnel is a thing of beauty!

Murry at mountain mod does a nice seat and the only one that fits an mx kit plus giving you storage....hot storage! Thistledoo for the pics on seat install when my seat was lost by greyhound!

Like to thanks Randy S for the clutching and tune up plus endless support!

Team Render Renchin for stoppin buy the garage and telling how much work i needed to do to fit my 16 wide.... plus endless support and buddy lights!

Thanks to my Dad "Cpt Ron" for all the tig work and experties. all the sheilding and front cooler had to be relocated to fit the 3" lugs. This track was 3 and 1/8 if anything....Allot of work!

Nice ride....I wondered if the 3 inch camo would fit...so what did you do with the front cooler then?? Love the orange.....might have to hook up for a ride....you always around revy then?

 

[sawthelight]

i admit last pic is my screen saver!

 

[triple Black]

the front cooler is mounted forward so you can just barely get the oil filter off. all the sheilding at the top is right against the jack shaft. i looked at removing the front cooler but this worked out way better and i get to keep the stock bypass system.

ya my family lives here so im around allot.

 

[Thistledoo]

so basically you drilled out the rivots and moved it ahead 1/2 inch??

 

[devil]

that looks awesome, god i wish i had the money to dump into a new tunnel and suspension.
i ceramic coated my exhaust and turbo housing, helps keep the heat in the pipes to help spool up and response. and it looks just as shiny as your tunnel, lol.

 

[triple Black]

had to do allot of work to the cooler too actually, had to tap in a screw in spiggit in the bottom and do lots of shaving.

 

[SAWYER]

nice work. I can't wait till I can get my CR tunnel next year

What fuel pump are you using?

 

[triple Black]

its the real Mcx upgrade kit, I cant remember off hand what pump it was.... it works on a return system cycling excess fuel from the regulator back to the tank.

hahah thanks brent.....thats funny! theres no doubt, im a leg hanger!

BWHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA

Who ever knew that picture would come in so handy!!!!!!!!!!

VERY BEAUTIFUL build Laird! I never really got to see exactly HOW shiney that buggar was since it was always covered in beautiful white stuff.

She's a beaut!

 

[PoWdErCuRlGiRl]

One Sexy Sled for sure!!!!!!!!

How bout another to add....

Nice work. Might want to mount the MCX box up high with the hose running down from it. That way if (when) you get moisture in the lines it won't run into the control box and screw it up. Call it "preventative maintenance" . There was a bulletin from MCX saying to mount it up high on the rad shroud. I don't have a rad so I velcro'd it unerneath the dash panel with the hose straight down

Looks good Larid, anything you & the old man touch always work out very well. Never thought that you would jump to a yami ever, or the old man would allow that in his shop, lol. Must have been Dean's and my RX1's that got you guys thinking, lmao. Does it ride/handle as well as your 900?, later Scott from Ab.
