Can-Am Maverick X3 Textured Black Bombproof Gusset Kit by CT Race Worx

DESCRIPTION

CT Race Worx X3 bombproof gusset kit is a must for hard drivers or people that want to keep their machine straight and true. It adds rigidity and strength to the front of the machine and is also a must for people wanting to add a winch.

CT’s kit starts with higher grade steel than most use, grade 50 over the common A36. Grade 50 has a higher yield and tensile strength than A36 plate, combined with a lower weight, making it a stronger and better option for our gussets. A36 material tends to stretch, and when you’re trying to use this material as a gusset, it’s less than ideal. You won’t find many places advertising their material choices and it’s because of this reason.

Our kit consists of 5 individual pieces plus hardware. Our race plate is included and bolts in place of the studs for the front lower A-arms using form threaded 4130 chromoly weld nuts that we make in house. Hardware is supplied and this allows for very easy service and removal of A-arms in the future.

CT Race Worx created a plate system that ties the front mounting points along with the upper rear mount together in full via 3 different welded assemblies. NO ONE else in the industry does this. The front of the X3 is what we call a floating front end. The front of the chassis ahead of the front A-arms attaches via the front arms and is only supported by the radiator. If you were to pull on that that portion of the frame, you’re pulling on the front suspension bolts onlyit’s a risky move. Our front welded assembly keeps that front section from twisting and also from pulling solely on the A-arm bolts. This is the same void in the frame where the front of the A-arms pivot. The front of the frame no longer floats at this point and is tied into firmly with the rest of the chassis.

Above the diff, CT’s Gusset Kit has 2 different pieces of metal that tie the rear upper pivot point to both front A-arm points, this is a very important piece and only CT Race Worx offers this. This not only strengthens the frame from the bolts trying to pull out but it greatly reduces the chance of the frame twisting. During pulling forces, this can also transfer energy to the rear upper A-arm mounting plate to help spread the load and increase strength. The single plate over the diff that ties the upper mounting points together will keep the rear upper arm pivot of the chassis from twisting under hard impacts. The final plate piece is additional reinforcement to to the rear lower mounting points of the suspension.

Standard install time is roughly 5 hours and a mechanical background or general handy work knowledge is advised. The majority of the front suspension needs to be removed. The diff does NOT need to be removed unless some of the factory hardware needs to be replaced. Detailed instructions with pictures are included.

Key Points:

• Front Diff does not need to be removed for installation
• Full Tie in of mounting points creating the most complete and strongest gusset kit on the market
• Grade 10.9 Metric Hardware
• “Race Plate” is added as a replacement to the front lower studs and acts as weld nuts to very easily installation and service down the road
• Easier installation than our previous gusset kits
• Works with standard, Smartlock and full billet front diffs
