Offroad big block buggy

Seems like a good one is in the 3-400$ range

My wife is already a bit peeved I said I want to drop $1200 on a new welder this year. She would have even more of a fit if I said I want to drop $400 on a notcher.

It may be time to replace the wife?

 

[Kartorbust]

It may be time to replace the wife?Not too derail this any further but, nearly 15 years being together and almost 8 years of marriage,

Nah. 15 years being together and nearly 8 years of marriage, just have to get her a few things and she'll be fine.

You buy the welder, buy her the notcher! Win! Win!

l have been through a few notchers, over the years. I don’t use em any longer.
lf ya have a good drill press, get a decent vice and an adjustable drill press table and hole saws. Works mo bedder for me. As with most tools, its a matter of knowing how to use it.

You need to learn how to utilize "preemptive gifts"...

Maybe I didn't catch it, but what axles you using for the rear end?

 

[Eztrail]

Miata axles

 

[Kartorbust]

Thats kind of what I figured. Spool looks similar to what KJ Raycing and the other crosskart guys are doing.

Its the jd's garage spool kit

22" tires are now too small
Just picked up some 27" rzr wheels and tires today!
Will post another picture tonight

 

[Kartorbust]

What brand 27" tires you installing?

 

[Eztrail]

Well there 27" stock tires off an rzr. Too big for the v twin. So I think ill keep the rims and mount some 25" tires on it

Also here's a pic of the briggs sitting in the buggy. Now I can work on packaging the drive train and making the motor sit as low as possible. This means the rear lower bars will need to be remade.

 

[Kartorbust]

If 25 fit, look at Kenda Bear Claw K299 25x8x whatever size wheels you have and 25x10 for the rear. Those are usually the stock size and default tire for utility quads.

 

[Eztrail]

Ill take a look at thoes

 

[Master Hack]

Whats the bend radius on those lower bars?
