Turbo viper

[kakwa climber]

I am looking at going to a turbo viper. It will be my first 4 stroke so looking for some advice. What is the best kit? I am looking at a 270 mcx or a boost it. I have heard set up is everything so any pointers? I am getting a 15 for the better motor for sure.

Alpine Motorsports or MCX.

Stick with the MCX...they don't burn up.

Boost-It shut their doors.

Hahha alpine vipers don't burn where do you get your info?

Alpine kits use boost it design & most parts are the same great guys to.
Mcx is good kit to both great kits just get a good dealer if you need install done its the most important thing.

 

[bigfish]

There is probably some boost it kits still around & they are the best viper kit i have tryed.
No issue with fires on alpine kits if a viper caught fire it wasnt the kits fault just saying lol

I have found 1 of each to look at tomorrow. Anything special I should check out?

Never had any issue in 3000km on my boost it kit other than drivers killed them lol.
Just check for anything melted that looks like it was overheated & clutches some guys with turbos are hard on them lol
As for mcx i think they had a update for the oil loss issue make sure it has it done.

Do you have to adjust you box at all?

Got a boost it works well one of my fav sled so far and have owned every brand all boosted with different flavours

What are you running for boost?

I run around 10lbs most of the time but have ran 8-14lbs

For those that have ridden both the viper and sidewinder.....is there THAT big of a difference? It kind of sounds like it. Or are there changes a person can make to a viper to make it behave like a sidewinder?

 

[climbmax]

There is a substantial difference. I wish I was wrong but I have both.
Get a ride if you can to form your own opinion.
Safe sledding.

They can be made closer with shock changes & some parts but hard to replacate,motor sits a little diff & turbo is centered makes a big difference.

 

[bigfish]

Sidewinder is so quik moving side to side comparded to my viper & power is smoother than aftermarked turbo kits & that makes it easyer to ride.

What rpm should I target for my boost it viper?
