[chancer]

What frame is (was) that? Looks like it is ready for a FAT rear tire?

 

[Joe-405]

Same guy from my barstool. It's their Nitro 44 frame.

Nice

Wanna see the new clutch design...........

Gonna make some changes. But I gotta figure out how to hide them if it works so I can work with 3d on design changes tho. I got some Dragbike ideas that will change the racing scene forever.................

Got a minor detail out of the way............

[chancer]

Nice!... and I thought mine was "Pimpin"
also glad I am not the only one putting the Kart before the Horse.
Oh well, one more detail not to worry about later. right

Man that's nice!!

Thanks it came out better than expected for me.

 

[Joe-405]

So opinions are asked. What you guys think of the ignition ? I got a real clutch like a real Dragbike so why not add programmable ignition and a launch 2-step box ?????? It's $600 but it's only money right ? Lol.

 

[Poboy kartman]

It's $600 but it's only money right ? Lol.

Have I mentioned "The Poboy Fund " lately?

 

[chancer]

Its only Money! Might as well live up to your name 405

 

[Joe-405]

got more done. I really needed the engine but dyno cams decided they needed a paper weight or something for awhile i guess so i hope the mount works ! And also got the handlebars done and the tach mount done...............

Oh yeah i got me a burris slick and dwt magnesium wheel also for the rear. Will get the wheelie bars and axle made this week also !

Now did i mention i need that freakin engine yet !!!!!

 

[Joe-405]

I'm officially taking engine options. Dyno cams will not ever do any machine work for me ever. I need a motor with 3/4" shaft and 20+hp ????

Just shave heads for cheap....and when someone sends you a whole engine...keep it!

Joe...check for a PM from me. I joke around a lot...but when I get serious...I get very serious. I just might be the only person in Texas to get not only a refund on a conviction, but a letter of apology from the Game Warden who issued the citation with one very carefully crafted certified letter.

Sooo...you can be bitter...and vengeful...or get satisfaction...up to you buddy!

 

[Joe-405]

My block is supposedly getting shipped back already. We will see.

When I talked to him prior to sending it off. It was $40 to bore and $80 for a sleeve............where in the crapola do they get $180 for a set of valve seats and only one size up on one valve ???? It's not even for both valves or any parts whatsoever. That's labor only. I would like to see the price breakdown but he said it softly and swiftly and I didn't catch it.

I guess on the bright side everything is ordered and in route to make a complete roller minus brakes and powdercoat.........I guess.

 

[Flyinhillbilly]

Personally I would've just put a high load of nitro in a relatively stock engine of course nitro is $50+/ gallon, so I don't guess it really pencils out.

 

[Joe-405]

Well we have wheelie bars almost done boys. Just a few more welds and the roller is almost complete. Still waiting for the engine I want to change motor mounts and the steering stabilizer to show up..................


My build quality gets better every year I think. Whatcha think so far ?

 

[Joe-405]

Well they are done along with a few controls and the tachometer bracket also. Got a few things mocked up already. Gotta go get some bolts tomorrow for the rear wheel and hub. And it's officially a little bit under 8' total with the wheelie bar for reference.
