Nytro Tipped Up Rails

[tool_man]

I just put a Nytro skid in my RX-1, I mounted exactly in the same position as the Apex Mtn Tunnel (skids dimensions are the same except for rail length) and the last 16" of the track doesn't touch the ground. I have the Apex 162" skid in my other sled (RX-1) and it seems better. It seems like the "tipped up" portion of the rail is more on the 153" skid than the 162". Anyone with pics of their Nytro on flat ground that I can compare? I made sure limiter strap and shock/spring settings were the same, even matched the front spring pressure.

I PM'd you a couple of pics. Not sure if they were what you are looking for or not...but what the heck

FWIW, the front end heigth of the RX and Nytro may not be the same - or are not the same due to the fact your skid isn't sitting level. The fact you matched tunnel dimensions means only you've matched the angle of the rear suspension to that of the tunnel between the 2 sleds? Just me, but I'd consider either raising the front end ride height of the RX, or maybe just lower the rear susp. mounting point to try and equalize the weight front/center/rear. But that's just me - a flatlander.

That thought crossed my mind, but the Apex/RX-1 tunnel both accept the promountain skid in a 151/62 respectively (and they mount the same). The 153 promountain is basically the same dimensions, just longer rails. The front torque arms are the same length.
