    Project GCG!

    Yup not a requirement, just what we do. And remember you want to support your axle out close to your wheel hub. If you hang your axle and tire way out there you'll eventually bend your axle

    Project GCG!

    On the heavier buggys offroad we prefer #50 chain and shoot for around 8-1 ratio, which requires a jackshaft. Also id suggest 780 series converter over the 40 series.

    Offroad big block buggy

    All good, just glad there are still people here. Right now I'm at 10.1-1. I could get more with flat top. But I'm near the safe limit for 87 octane. I run 89 ethanol free and I like having that buffer zone here in the Texas heat.

    Offroad big block buggy

    So I installed this engine in a Chinese version of a brister chuck wagon. With a yamaha golfcart rear end. I used NR Racing 280-0211 torque cam. Stock dished piston. Deleted the governor, cut to length pushrods, Mikuni tm32 flat slide carb and a small cheerybomb type muffler. Worked very well in...

    Offroad big block buggy

    Not really happy with the performance of the motor. I know the carb was still too rich but don't think tuning would get me as far as I want. Debating leaving this motor on or a v twin. So in the meantime I pulled the head last night. Cc'd my head, I was at 32cc and 9.4-1 compression. I was...

    Offroad big block buggy

    Well we got it all put together and went out today for another ride. Then about 10 miles in..... The tow of shame. The 3/4" jackshaft the driven is on sheared in half. That jackshaft is 14" long and supported by 3 pillowblocks. When my 1" pillow blocked broke in half the other day I was...

    Offroad big block buggy

    Started hitting the trails the other day. 21 mile ride. Carb is rich so I ordered some more main jets. Went for another ride today and this happened. 1" pillowblocks. Was only a 7 mile tow back to our cabin. And we had 2 spare pillow blocks. Hope tomorrow's ride goes well.

    Offroad big block buggy

    I had left the kart jacked up all night. When I got home I bled the brakes a couple times and got some good air out on the first try. Each of the following trys yielded no more air. Didn't have time to vacuum bleed.

    Offroad big block buggy

    Well I did some gravity bleeding of the brakes today. Probably refilled the small master cylinder a dozen times. (Without letting it run dry) I have about .025" between the pad and the rotor and when depressing the brakes there is barley any contact. On a scale of 1 to 10, today the...
