Approach Angle Change

[ndC7M8]

I saw at least one sled in the "pics of your proride" thread that had a different angle and someone mentioned it but there was no real discussion about it. One older fellow I've ridden with was talking about playing with the approach angle on his new pro after coming off a top-to-bottom full mod Gen II chassis, but he's fairly tight-lipped about his pro's performance as far as that goes so far. I was just wondering if anyone had tried any different locations for mounting the rear suspension. I think mods like that which require a lot of initial thought but really aren't complicated but still make a big difference are the best. Something that no one really notices but makes the sled perform noticeably better. I just think this is something that I haven't seen really any discussion on so I figured I'd throw it out there.

Fastrax has a chaincase drop for the Pro's

Or could be someone with the Assault was drilling out the top bolt hole for the front of the skid?? Haven't looked through that thread in quite some time..

The older poo chassis really did a lot better with a lower track shaft (decreased approach angle). The newer chasis already does what the drop and roll did for the older chassis, so I would really be hesitant to spend any appreciable amount of money going further (especially when the stock set up already preforms so well)

The Assaults have a steeper angle than the Pro; you can drill the tunnel to raise the front skid but the rail upturn is still more pronounced. The Pro is just fine... in fact it gets on top of the snow better than any sled I've ever ridden.

Have FUN!

that sled I saw in the other thread must have been an assault with its suspension moved then. Just thought I'd ask.

As well as the Pro does getting on top of the snow, I don't see the need to change the approach angle. This skid works great bone stock.
