I think what he's saying is that if you change your sprockets to a lower ratio you can get a lot better acceleration, which is totally true and worth looking into, but it will kill your top end. If your happy with the way the gearing is set up now the only way to get more oomph is going to be...

Update Finally made it home from Afghanistan and, after completing 3 months worth of honey-do's, got to work on my project. Put some fresh gas in it and got it running, then put the new shocks on and sent my step son out for a ride. He goes to his dads for the summer so I wanted to get it...

Missed the "by 4" in the title. Looking for hubs to fit Yamaha rears, 4x115mm pattern.

Very interested. Pics please. Also, what is the bolt pattern? Measure from the center of a stud across the hub to the center of the opposite stud in millimeters. Thanks!

I didn't say anything about removing it. When I bought my cart, the previous owner had put in a much larger bushing in order to limit how far the moveable face of the driver would actually move, and not allowing it to shift to higher gear ratios, thus limiting top speed. After I installed the...

Good luck. I had a Subaru 6.5 that I was going to mod, after looking all over for parts I gave up and got a Predator 212.

Just a thought, but check for a brass governing spacer on the shaft of the driver. The previous owner may have put one on to limit the top speed.

Thanks! He loves it, calls it his "trophy truck" and has me time his laps around the track we made behind the house.

Actually, I tried that but the lights are too big. They hit the bars and end up pointing up in the trees. Probably going replace them with smaller LED lights, and move those to the top of the roll cage.

Been wondering about this as well.

Sorry in advance for the long read, feel free to scroll down to the pictures and skip the overly descriptive narrative to follow... Hey guys, I figured that after I posted an introduction I should probably start a build log here. I started with a well used Manco Magnum that I found on...

Welcome! I'm new here as well. Man, I wish I had the patience to do that. Every time I try to get my son and his friends to help with a project it's like herding cats. God bless and good luck!

Hello all! I have been lurking around for a while and finally decided to join. A little about me: I have been in the USAF for 15 years now, I was a Crew Chief (aircraft mechanic) on C-130's for 6 years until I cross-trained to Flight Engineer. I have flown various aircraft, but currently I fly...
