T-Nytro Set up, Not Seeing many 174 Tracks Out There?

I just bought a holdover '08 Nytro MTX that I'm trying to get broke in for boost this summer.

My plan is to boost (probably Powderlites, SII) and change tracks, changing the skid will have to wait...enough money spent.

I was planning for a 15x2.5.x162 CE, but am now thinking of a 174 since we boondock alot in deep loose snow. Maybe a 174 won't matter as much with big HP, opinions please. I like the idea of saving money with the 162, in that no tunnel extension is needed.

Other Plans / Questions:
-With all I've read it sounds like Avids (7 tooth right?) are a must on boost...is this true?
-Is an Anti stab kit really necessary with stock rails and just an extension?
-It sounds like I'll need stiffer springs for sure?
-19T top gear with Powderlites proscribed clutching?
-Vent clutches.

Any advice or constuctive comments are greatly appreciated. This is a big project for me on a limited budget so I don't want to mess it up.

Thanks guys.

With boost I think you will be surprised on what the 162 will do or even the 153 for that matter my 153 goes places I never thought a 153 would go.
 
The 153 maverick with boost makes me laugh, I put 1500k on it this winter and shook my head everytime I drove it in the trailer. My first thought to save money was to put on a 15x2.5x156 with bigger wheels, then I've been thinking 16x162, and now also tossing around the idea of a 174" Scared of the extra strain on the sled and belts. With boost the 15x2.5x162 will be more than most individuals need with 240hp+, also no tunnel modification needed, no rubbing noise or vibration, apex rails are cheap and readily avail.
As far as the drivers, i had no issues with the stockers all season @ 14#, but will be changing them while I have it apart this fall. SOOOOO many options if money tree stays green. PS Boosted Nytros Rock:beer;
 
Hey,

For a 174 inch track you should give Curtis from Tracks Canada a call. His number is 1-403-357-9808. Me and my buddies just got some from him, and we had great quick service!

IMO AVID CNC drivers are a must. I spun stock drivers on the shaft at 260HP boosted Yammie, so I dont trust them anymore.

Only got one ride on the Nytro with the 162 Extreme, fully clipped, so I am not sure on the total need for the anti stab, but it has me concerned.

I have watched two different guys with 174 tracks get around this spring on harder snow and in tight spots, seems like more struggle and work than its worth if you have good boost. :)

Great choice on Dave's kit...

IMO 15x162 is plenty...174 would be a great choice for extreme climbing (I've heard from fellas it's like 3 more pounds of boost - they were surprised as well) but it limits the rest of the game.

I would do anti-stab regardless...good inexpensive piece of mind, as is the case with the AVID's.

Venting helps, 19t matter of choice...running 20/40 with Dave's kit and no problems (really deep stuff pretty much over by the time I boosted).

Spend some time thinking about that front suspension, shocks at least.

Rest preference...good luck, always fun.
 
From what i have seen a lightened MCX Apex 162x16x2.5 at 12 lbs and an 03 MCX RX1 stock chassis at 8lbs an a 174x16x2.5 in 2ft of fresh the RX1 embarassed the Apex.
 
153 maverick sucks for boondocking in the deep sh!t regardless of the horsepower. Once the sled has some speed built up it is fine but if you slow down in the really deep it will sink. 162 at least I am going 174. IMHO
 
I rode MOB's sled and a Apex (sapling thrasher) with Dave's Kits and yes you should do it!
I have seen the opposite a lot more people talking about going to the 174, but I think 162 15 camo extreme is the best all around track for it I mean I have spent at least 5 minutes on turbos now, I am a expert!
Thanks to everyone who let me ride there sleds! and I am open for donations

It was great to be able to compare all of them on the same day. All I can say is-I would take any of them for the right price.:confused:

From you, I can take cash.
 
Great Feedback, still a tough decision on 162 or 174??? BL

Blue Light...sorry for getting off track (no pun intended :D )

I have a 162....haven't ridden a 174...I would think it would depend on what you want to do.

If you have big boost and want to climb the biggest stuff, then 174 might be for you, but it sounds like you're not into climbing the big stuff. For boondocking in the deep pow the 162 has proven to be a really good length.

That's pretty big.
 
I have found that the way the Nytro handles the 174 is too much. It tends to push and is hard to sidehill. The 162 doesn't seem much different than the 153 as far as handling. On bigger,more open terrain.....I think the 174" might be a viable option, but in the trees....no.

Of course I also remember people asking "how are you going to get that bus through the trees" when the 136" came out!
