sled dogg have you decided to get one?

First off sorry sled dog for cuting in on you post.

* Panteraone, I would like to know how you like the RK tech head. And what does it take to get one ? Deck hight and what did you use to do this, Thanks And again sorry Sled dog.

i love it,i actually never measured deck height,i just had kelsey make a standard 91(13-1) octane head,you will get more performance by doing some extra measurements,call kelsey and he will guide you through everything.....2strokeheads.com

Hi Caleb,

I imagine your project ZX809 is starting to take shape, yes? *Did that Snocross chassis turn out to be in great shape internally as well as cosmetically?

The 121" and 136" versions of the Expert X offer 11" of true vertical travel, as measured at the lower swingarm pivot point, NOT at the rear idlers. *This point corresponds to the point directly below the rider on a 121" sled, so this is where you really "feel" the travel working for you.

The weight of the Expert X is ~60lbs, but keep in mind that we designed the X to be very beefy. *Those CNC-machined rails are 3/8" thick 6061-T6 aluminum and the swingarms are each made of two 1/4" thick 6061-T6 aluminum arms. *It could be lighter, but we prefer to stress durability in our designs.

I should have the motor monday night. I may go get the chassis next week but probably the week after, the kid doesn&#39;t care when I come to get it. What does the stock mxz-x race rear skid weight in relation to the xpertx?

That&#39;s hard to say since the ZX&#39;s final components are often hard to follow. *Over a standard SC-10 II/III, the Expert X saves about 10 pounds over stock, but add in the extra bracketry and reinforcement in the ZX version (have you seen those closed-in rear scissors?) subtract a few sets of wheels and I&#39;d say the X saves around 13 pounds.

I&#39;m anxious to see what kind of shape your chassis is in. What do you plan to do with the stock 440? *Is it fixable?

The stock 440 was toast and sold for $275 on ebay also. A belt got wet water skipping,slipped behind clutch and blew the seals out of the motor. It has been dunked a few times. I&#39;m not concerned with it&#39;s shape as I&#39;m going to replace every single bearing,bushing,steering end,etc. I&#39;m going through it from top to bottom. The whole rear skid may just get replaced with and X though. Other wise I&#39;ll replace everything to replace there also.It&#39;ll be like a brand new machine. Parts are not to much and I&#39;ll do the labor. Why do you guys use KYB shocks instead of Ohlins/Ryde FX? I know KYB&#39;s are all right but a pain to tune and rebuild all the time.
