08' nytro suspension

[detz1000]

I have heard a few rumors that you can put M1000 float skid or shocks in a nytro. Is this true and does anyone know mounting points or have pics. Thanks for any help or info on this.

From what I've heard is later year M series skids can bolt directly into the nytro mounting holes. I've also heard it makes your approach angle better. No experience, just what I've heard.

I'll just post what I've done here. If you want to reduce the approach angle on the Nytro you really only have two options. In order to get less angle the skid has to either go up in the tunnel or go back in the tunnel. If you think about your limiter straps and how they work basically they change the approach angle. If you suck them all the way up less angle. The best sucess I've had with the Nytro is to put a 156 track on the sled and use a 153 Timbersled skid built for a Cat with Iceage rails. When you install the skid it gets mounted in the tunnel so the base of the sliders at the rail tips are in a perfect line with the outer circumference of the drivers. Thats as direct as you can get. The front arm on a Cat skid is longer than that on the stock Yami so it pushes the skid back as well without making the sleds too nose heavy. For 2010 the Yami skid is closer to the Cat design in geometry than the older 08 09 skids. If you wanted to do a less elegant solution you could just use a 156 and pull the yami skid back but in truth the Yami skid is a POS. If you want to go 162 order 159 Iceage rails etc etc, just don't go to crazy with the pullback or the sled will get nose heavy.

There is also another thread on here about someone putting a '10 m8 suspension directly into their nytro.

I just finished putting a 162 M1000 float skid in my 08 Nytro with a 162 track. It's not a direct bolt in like the Apex/Rx1 but it is pretty straight forward. If you plan on doing it I can help you out.

Yes, have installed a couple. Like M5 says, not a direct bolt on but pretty close.
