I'm not building at the moment. I'm using 159" skidoo rails, timbersled suspension, and a 163" track

carbon daddy builds nice stuff...he just need to be less busy so that he can build more cool things!!! owned a CF rev he built, the chassis was unreal, handled nutz, was probably well under 400 dry. but he would have a better guess on that.. and the big CF tank is awsome, a bit extra weight at the beginning of the day(for the trail) but never worry about fuel/or jerrys ever again... plus it half way balances with the CF tank weight traded for the extra fuel...

Interstate Batteries - PN# FAYTZ7S 4.5lbs, 130 CCA

I also found one in Western Power Sports for just over $50 and still the 4.5 lbs range. Does anyone else have any CONFIRMED wet weights?
check here for battery information... I think all the batteries are YUASA
fabcraft skid
I run a Fabcraft skid on a '06 MCX Apex. I have never rode with another brand of skid so I can't really compare to anything. Last year was my first year on the TApex so I was still working out the bugs and never rode over 17lbs in the mountains. I really like how it rides on the trail and have it set up to where it was predictable and controllable in the deep fluff. How it will act at 20lbs we will find out. I did replace the rubber transfer stops on mine with a puck board style plastic. They lasted about 3 days with the arm beating the crap out of them everytime you hit the throttle.

Just put the apex back on the scales after installing a light weight battery and crracing hood and light bar. completly full fuel and all other fluids its at 615 pounds on Timbersleds scales. trying to get it below 600 pounds but don't know where to go from here. any ideas?
T
I would say, don't worry about 15 lbs. Just ride it. When you get stuck I'm sure your not going to notice that 15 lbs!!!!!
S
got my battery in and reweighed it 597 pounds wet happy to be under 600 thanks for the battery tip.

for another thousand bucks, we can get it to 585 lbs.....where does it end?

Rule of thumb: $100 per pound to shave weight.
I would like to run my Nytro across the scales to check the weight.
Aftermarket manufacturers are all the same. Component guys give scewed weight savings numbers. Performance guys give scewed HP numbers. Really not any different than the manufacturers though. You can only claim to shave 20 pounds off every year for so long before somebody catches on.

Sea level calculations
523 # (155 hp) = 3.37 lbs per HP (.296 HP per lb)
600 # (260 hp [~12# psi]) = 2.31 lbs per HP (.433 HP per lb)
10,000 feet calculations
523 # (108.5 hp) = 4.82 lbs per HP (.207 HP per lb)
600 # (204 hp [~12# psi]) = 2.94 lbs per HP (.34 HP per lb)
Granted, 80 #s is 80 #s (especially when STUCK)...but the same can be said about 95 HP (or 105 HP @ sea level)!
We wont get into the $ vs $ thing though. LOL
Waiting on shocks for my sled, and I'll get it hung.
