Thanks Kent, actually its ready now.  Only have little things to take care of.  Install a front winch, some fabrication is required.  I will be swaping my 401 in as well.  Also need to do some shock tuning and that's pretty much it.

Went wheeling today and floped it before noon!



going down hill around the big rock in the upper left corner of the pic.  Front went up & over and I coundt steer the rear to the pass fast enough, driver rear went over and floped me over.

I also broke the front drive shaft and bent an airshock.

that was fast

looks good even upside down.
was there a malfunction as to why the rear steer didn't turn fast enough or you just hadn't any time to do so before it went?

The buggy did very well a few things we need to address but nothing to major. The flop, well I didn't see it but Miguel was having a speed problem with the rear steer valve so the responce time for the rear to catch up to were the spotter wanted his tire's was not there. We need to increese the pressure on the valve so it turn's faster and with more flow. There was a few spots he could not turn when the tire's were wedged.

The front drive shaft well thats all him He was backing up to take another shot at a rock plie and he had his rear tire's truned to the driver side and he was forcing them into steep ledge, well the front drive shaft wanted nothing to do with the amount of HP he gave it to make it move and it twisted it clean off.

But all in all Adams house will never let you down, there's allways somthing to do even when your broke. Miguel spent the rest of the day driving with me in Adams buggy and towards the end of the day he and I went for a rip in Seans very fast KOH buggy. This machine is insane, it can crawl spots at Adams house that others have tried but failed and get you from 0-60 in a few seconds. It was fun jumping it to

miguel, poly has a 2.5" and a 2.0 fox shock in their open box section.  pm the guy on pirate and you can get it new for $300 if your interested in the 2.5 or probably way less for the 2.0

[Ian]

i also have the vise holders for a 2.5" fox shock you can borrow if you replace the shaft on my air shock 

[mika401]

Fixed the shock with leftover parts I had from when the rears were rebuilt

penis pump?


why the shift kit? I thought when you had the trans built they would have installed a trans kit?

[Mitch]

im guessing he is rebuilding the old one and sticking it in his new buggy.

I also have a book on how to use that giant pump.

The shift kit is for a TH400
