Just trying to understand what this means. I'm interpreting it as I'll see the quality difference when the comet belts arrive?

Whelp, burnt through the second belt. The first looked mostly spot less when I pulled it off (just left a good amount of debris on the pulleys). This one got completely destroyed. Have a couple comet belts arriving today that I ordered from the suggestions here. The belt quality doesn't...

Some searching on the topic brought up an old thread on here! https://www.diygokarts.com/community/threads/comet-30-series-belt.33481/ Now, maybe I'm missing it, but the "two washers" mentioned in that thread... Where should I be looking for them?

Mostly a hour to myself for future reference: Measured the CVT. 6" drive pulley and 6 3/4"-6 7/8" center to center. This corresponds to Comet 203589/203589a. (I think they're essentially the same belt, or at least that's what Google tells me.. that the "a" is a direct replacement. The charts I...

Alao, any other spots to lube? The chain seems plenty oily, and I'll apply anti seize to the axles by the wheels. Don't see any grease points otherwise, but maybe I'm missing common spots?

Preface: Anti seize is ordered and will arrive tomorrow. I didn't insert the cotter pins on the rear wheels so that will be easy. Will remove the cotter pins on the front and apply there. Onto today and the first two problems. Kids came back home. Wanted to ride it with me. Reminder, they're...

A little late on the update, but on Saturday (the next day), pretty much got the rest of it done. Steering wheel bolted up. Fenders bolted. (Folks with big hands might find this a little bit of a pain. Notice it bolts just in front of the shock.) Battery attached (this send to be a...

One other thing to note, each bag had its purpose or part that it goes to on it. I was mostly expecting one bag with all the hardware in it and instead got separated bags based on where the nuts and bolts go. Ruined some fun but made the first last if assembly quite a bit easier.

Trailmaster Cheetah 8 arrived today, exactly 7 days after ordering (at 11 pm on the day of ordering, July 3rd). Pretty shocked they were that quick from Texas (to Ohio). Also appreciate the final leg shipping company called yesterday, and when I said this is to a residence and don't have a...

Yep, it's got the UTV form factor, but I say it isn't really useful as an UTV because it doesn't have a bed to store things (it does have a little cargo rack), wouldn't try to tow a while lot of weight with it, and is much smaller than the N6. If you're really looking for a UTV to do utility...

I'll try to take some pictures. There is a lack of YouTube videos and even discussion on it. (Probably because it's filling an odd space, it's not a go kart but not really useful as a UTV for adults.) Yes, new. Used ones around here were either broken for $700+ or semi-running for $1200+. Still...

Decided to get a go kart (or utv according to @Hellion ) that my kids could drive around the yard and up our street. Currently ordered a Trailmaster Cheetah 8. Sat in it, and I was still able to fit (6'2", 220 lbs). Still small enough my young kids will be driving it within a year or two. Don't...
