i've actually got some rides in this season on snoboner's mcx nytro and dan bush's mcx nytro but yesterday was my first full day on my OWN turbo nytro and it was a blast.
its really nice to have confidence in hitting the bigger pulls when you know your sled is gonna get the job done.
i went with the boondocker 28 turbo and rode yesterday with it set at 12lbs.
i LOVE the prologger box we got from dustin at outlaw. hit the button and take off and the box records boost, a/f and rpm for 25 seconds. you can also add boost right from this box...cool!
the sled ran great except for the track began to ratchet on the bigger pulls under full boost. its a brand new camo challenger-x 2.25 but after tightening it several times, the ratcheting would go away for a while, then come back. i guess the track has to finish wearing in? i'm running avid drivers and have read on here to keep the track real tight.
one of our riders and the guy who built my sled, sean from shaver lake power center was on his nytro turbo (same setup as mine but with 15lbs) and he had a major problem yesterday that resulted in a crazy 5 hour tow-job home.
on a big pull, his sled came to an abrupt stop and sean was launched over the bars bad. when we got to him, his brand new track was split in half and jammed into the drivers. we think he was running it too loose and it got sucked up in front of the rails and then stabbed.
we also had 4 other sleds go down on the tow home and some old-timer following us around as we filmed keeled over on his sled and was out for 10 mintues. we were going to call a chopper to get him out but were way out of cell / radio range so we just shoved a jam sandwich and some gatoraid down him, flung him on a sled and got the hell out there. it wasn't a heart-attack but some kind of diabetic thing i think. he was okay by the time we got back to the truck.
anywhoo...after a crappy end of the day, i loved the sled...just need to fix the ratcheting and a low-end burble in the motor.
