Has anybody installed an 08 154" XP skid into a Nytro MTX?

We need to know the center to center distance and any suggestions for mounting.

This will be with a 162 Camo Extreme.

Normally I'd agree with you but my buddy got the skid for next to nothing and we weighed it last night and it was almost 19lbs lighter than his stock skid.

The sled will probably implode if you install a Doo part on it...
And then the dealer will tell you all parts are on back order..

i suppose if you got that skid for a good price it would worth doing, but there are much better skids out there for good prices... you pickup a Cat float skid for around $550 that is basically a holz skid. just get it all revavled ($100) and you've got a damn good skid for CHEAP.

Well, as best as I can come up with the XP CTC is 30" vs 31.5" on the Nytro skid. Probably doing a 2.5-3.5" setback on front mount and 1"-2" on rear.

And it was WAY cheaper than $500, so I think it'll be worth it.

I'll doing this shortly, when I set the two next to each other it looks like the front mount will be close to the nytro. I went this way becasue of cost and the fact that the ski doo suspension dosn't need ice scratchers. With drop brackets you'll still save close to 25#

The cat skid drops 22lbs from what I've been told and works like a dream. You wouldn't believe the difference.

With an Apex, being 16" wide, wouldn't the XP skid work better, being that it goes with the wider track? Or are all skids the same width? I am thinking of making a change as well, but might just get hyperfax sliders instead.

all skids are made the same width . other than the top mounting points , they will very sled to sled even with diffrent tunnels . the only place a 16 inch track is diffrent than a 15 or 14 inch is the distance from the "nubs " to the out side edge of the track
