What would a apex or RX1 have to running for boost to be the same as a 270 HP nytro? MCX on both!!
Nytro VS RX1 or APEX?
- Thread starter Thunderguy BOOSTED
- Start date
I don't remember how much their Apex 260 had, but by calculating backwards from where i am i guess around 12-13lbs, closer to 13lbs of boost for 270hp.

Apex needs more hp to keep up with a Nytro. If hp equals Nytro wins.

Ok What i ment was: HP/BOOST to MATCH a Nytro at 270 HP
It's all in the setup = hp to the ground!
When i had a regular rearmount MCX290 i beat an Nytro MCX270 in a dragrace, he jumped in the start, but halfway i passed him!

SO its just the way its set up then??
Between the to mentioned yes, when the hp is as close as Nytro MCX270 vs Apex MCX290 the key is to get the power to the ground, track, skid setup, clutching, all matters.

so the way i kinda figured it out was per pound of boost you have 20.7 hp? so i think by what ive been reading i ll just dial it in at 14 pounds ( 290 HP) and just try it out!
Thanks
Thanks
Did you pick your sled up yet?

NOPE Cash is in hand tho, so it will be home on the 2nd!

I think 7 t0 10 hp ,per pound of boost is more realistic, 26 sounds way to high. imo

Here is video of a Nytro vs Rx1. Nytro was running 10.5lbs and Rx1 14lbs. Nytro is on the left

Here is one of the same Nytro vs an Apex similar boost.

Im braking down the FULL hp and it divides into 20.7 HP per pound! 290 HP divided by 14 PSI = 20.7 HP per pound!!

The look pretty much side by side
Thats kinda high on the hp, typically is 1lb of boost is 10hp. Not 20hp, its a rough number @ best. When people ask me how much hp my sled makes, I say more than stock. Cause I dont know & likely 95% of them dont know either. Never had it on a dyno, sure would like to. But there is none around. When you finally get to mash the throttle, you will have a grin from ear to ear. Hp/torque wont matter then. Yes the RX1 is an outdated to the nitro, but alot cheaper. Can even see the engine with the hood open. Engine seems to stand up better to alot more boost. Dont hear alot of guys blowing out headgaskets like the nitros do @ higer boost levels. Have fun with your new to you sled.

Hey Red!]
And you know thats what i just said! Im not going to worry about anything HP or all the other BS! Just going to ride it! AND JUST SMILE! :laugh: i think your suppose the take the stock HP, and add the boost to that, then divided! So 145 is stock, to get to 290 HP you need another 145 HP! so now 145 divided by 14 psi is 10.3 HP per pound!
But the only reason i can say that is cause i know how many PSI i want to run, but i guess its strait up, if the 10.3 never changed then its easy right??
No mater
Cant wait to ride it, dad was so happy when he sold his 4 stroke, was stock and he said he would never buy another LEAD SLED! But i bet after he rides this thing he'll buy one!!
ound:I just picked the RX1 cause i know shes a stand up sled, and goes forever! and yep, they are a lot cheaper!
Any hoo, maybe ill see yah in Revy or Valemount this winter?
Cheers
