MPex

Any thoughts on whether a turbo apex motor could be stuffed in an M chassis or if it has been done?

 

[cobbycat]

we have put an apex turbo engine into a carbon fibre m chassis. quite a few mods to do it but it fit. I don't know if it will fit in a stocker though as our m chassis is an inch wider and it is pretty tight. the c3 powersports m-apex is also for sale (carbon fibre chassis, hood, side pannels, xp gas tank, nextech rear suspension 162, and a turbo apex engine. weighs 555lbs full of all fluids.) and works really well.

It can be done. It's been done with RX-1 motors for sure, don't think I've seen one with an Apex but the motor dimensions are the same.

What would just the bulkhead made to fit the Apex motor cost a feller? How much for the Mpex that you have?

Why?

Why would you want to, you could lighten up a apex or just turbo the 2 stroke, thats what I would do. and if I where to fit one I think I would put in a nytro motor.

I beleive Ratsled.com is doing one

i think it would be because of the chassis the m sled is much better then the apex even with a tunnel

Maybe its for a guy who already has a nice lightened up turbo apex, and also has a very nice 174 Twisted TM1000, but would like the best of both

Well let's see...... I have already had three turbo two strokes and currently own a very nice lightened Apex. So I guess I've already done what "you would do" and I'm ready for something new. Plus, I've done some rough measuring and the Apex motor would be easier to fit in the M chasis than the Nytro motor. Plus, I like the power of the Apex better than the Nytro. Plus, Apex motors are more readily available and can be picked up for very cheap. Impulse Race kit powered M chasis would rock! But thanks for your two cents!

Let's build two this summer and we can cost average the fab work. Really I have to think there would not be a better sled for what we ride. I love my Apex and rode it for 3 weeks when I was waiting for the axle parts on my cat but then I stepped back on my cat and instantly felt like I was 3x better rider. M8 174 with M10 skid, Impulse Apex race kit. I am sold

Amen Brotha!

One change. Just rode the KMOD GenII and that will be my next skid

 

[bigbull]

I'm in as soon as I raise some cash. I want to build one soon. Come on PAUL! You would be the ultimate builder for this sweet machine. I know you just looked at one in Revy in a carbon chassis.

Sounds like a fun project.

What sled was that on?

 

[ridehard1212]

Steve from Ratsled does have one.. sick build!!!

 

[skibumm]

Did he modify a stock bulkhead? I looked on the site and did not see any pics. I will try again.

 

[twsandrew]

I have a built apex turbo motor ready to donate. I am 100 percent serious. Bigbull if you find someone to do this let us know

BTW the kmod was on an m1000. It could go from too much ski pressure to wheelie fun in 2 mins

Id be glad to help on your project Andrew. Let me know if I can help.
