X-Scream pole/steering setups w/pics

[CJ555]

Can some of you tell me what steering setups you run and recommend and possibly show me pics of what the setup looks like on the X-Scream poles. (Especially the new Thrust and OVP if anyone is running this combo)

I am liking the X-Scream steering as I am sure it's a perfect match,....but I also like the new Thrust and OVP systems -- just not sure how they would look/function on the X-Scream pole.

And no matter which system I go with, they all pretty much include the steering system and turnplate correct? I will not have to buy the 2 separate like the older UMI or Blowsion systems?

The Thrust system only comes in blue right?

I don't have any pics of mine without the chin pad but I will say you wont be disappointed with a full xscream set up.

The pole and steering are both adjustable, strong, light, and low profile.

I love my xscream pole and steering and trim just lube up bearing good and tighten the bolt correctly and never mess with it

I got a good deal on a Titan for last season and love it. Very sweet steering setup on the xscream comp pole.

I'd like to try an OVP system though. Just curious.

^ ^ ^ ^^
So does this mean I can't use a "spring" with this pole setup,....or is that all depending on the hull? I have a Havoc on order and never asked the Rage guys if I could run a spring?!! Obviously I will ask them soon but still curious if it is possible if I could still run one with an X-metal pole? Rage uses the X-Metal pole on their Havoc's so I know they look good, but I would prefer to run a spring if possible even though more people I talk to are swearing by the "crank the bolt down" method. (I just like to stick to what I'm used to I guess although it wouldn't be a deal breaker either way!)
But I do remember hearing with Superfreaks (NOT Titans) you can only do the tightened bolt method,..although I'd swear I've seen a pic with a Freak running a spring??!!! (Maybe was a modified job?)

Thanks!

You can probably run a spring, just have to get creative. Look at a Kawi 750 pole spring, then bend it a bit. And cushion it on the hull.

 

[CJ555]

Yeah unfortunately I'm not very creative!!! But Rage is building my ski so I'll tell them about your idea as I think that sounds like what I seen on the Freak with the spring. Hopefully we'll get it figured out! Not gonna kill me to do the crank er down method worse case.

Thanks man!

I ran that setup on my old freak and bob gen 3. Then took it off on the hurricane. I don't run the pole real tight. tight enough to keep it where I want it.

 

[CJ555]

Gonna have to at least try it I guess! Can always try to add a spring later. Thanks Jay.

But if anyone has an X-metal pole and has pics of it with their steering setup I'd appreciate it.

Hard to see but had to drill a hole for the pole spring.

 

[CJ555]

Thanks a lot. At least I know a spring can be run. Still not sure about with the Havoc hull though, although as stated above it can probably happen with some creativity.
But I really just wanted to see some pics to get an idea of what different setups look like on the X-metal poles so I really appreciate it! That is the full X-metal setup correct?,.....Pole, steering AND X chin pad as well?

 

[NVJAY775]

I wish I had pics of my old setup for ya. But basically drilled a hole similar to above and still ran the dual Xmetal breather tubes. Very good setup, but when running a comp length pole the spring wasn't really needed for me. I'll get a pic of my current setup in a bit.

It's kinda dirty. Been sitting for a few months lol.

Here is mine... I love it.

 

[JMew03]

Here is mine xscream pole and steering. The underpadding is so I dont hit my face on the pole. Lol dont judge me

 

[NVJAY775]

I'll never knock anybody for padding.

 

[CJ555]

Never got the notice that more people responded with pics?!! But thanks guys,....now I am officially sold.

Did you have to drill the sub plate to Install the clip for the pole Limiting rope?

 

[JMew03]

Looks like he used the bolt right under the steering nut. Look at my pic a few posts up to see what I am talking about.

I must have and old sub plate. Mine doesn't have that bolt like yours.

 

[DontYellAtMe1]

Yeah I just used the bolt for the steering stop.
