  1. First one. I had the Kart shop tell me what gearing to use. I was concerned about how fast it would go. I was trying to keep it simple on the engine mount . Right now the shocks are just simulated. I am thinking about 2 inch bore air cylinders to use for air springs. It really isn't meant to be a pwerformer just one of those novelty things to get around the pits at the races.
  2. Nope...I am about an hour and a half from DTown In GA. They have alot of great events planned for this weekend. GP races on the new track Saturday. I may race the KFX in the over 40 class. They are haveing the outlaw Lawn mowers Saturday evening and then they are racing "cooler" racers on the Flat track in the evening. The BIG DON Band with be on stage around 10 Saturday. Sunday will be the Poker Run and more GP races. Should be a good weekend.
  3. LOL no gas pipe steering.... for this one I am using a 450 R steering stem. I just stuck it in there for reference while I am hooking up the linkage. Um there is nothing wrong with flux core. In all acutallity it can be a stronger weld due to the higher heat. It is alot more messy and harder to make pretty welds . I did not have the time to get it to the sand balster so it does have splatter in some hard to reach places. To set your mind at ease though a new welder is in the works.
  4. Just becasue I love to be called "Gay as #$%^". Here are some finals for those of you that like to see "Gay as #$%^ stuff.
  5. Wow Loco...I guess you haven't changed in the last couple of years that I have been gone. Just as congenial as always. The T3 does have front brakes. They are tucked way up in there. I agree that the Trailing arm setup is good for the West coast raceing however, The rzr 800 s is out handleing the 900 s in the series that I follow on the east side. the 900 doesn't seem to corner as well on our short courses. In the wide open the 900 walks away from the 800 but in the woods the extra HP and trailing arms don't fair as well. The turning radius on the 9 is a bit wider than the 8 as well.
  6. Those little guys are great. Durhamtown is planning on haveing one for test rides over labor day. I will deffinately be in line for the test drive. The T3 is actually a little more advanced than those are. T3's have independant rear suspension and a FNR Gearbox. The price tag on a fully equipt one is around $20K. Here is one of the ones I am looking at http://www.tinytrophytrucks.com/Home_Page.html
  7. As with any thing new there was a good bit of "engineering" involved in the proto. You know cussing ,thorwing tools, talking to yourself and then aswering and there was even an agument some where when I fired myself . I also got taken by a couple of Kart shops since I did not have time to do research on kart parts. I have about $1800 in parts on the proto but I found some new suppliers and I hope to get that # down. A guy up the street that has a fab shop turned my onto an internet supplier where I will be able to get my hiems and bungs for about %75 of what I was paying for them and they are the stronger ones. I hope to be able to have a complete machine for anywhere from $1800 with simulated shocks and $2400 with front and rear shocks. I am also planning on building a T3( Tiny Trophy Truck) with either a kawasaki 250 or 450. I might even do one with a shee engine if I can figure out how to make it with electric start.
  8. YUP!!!! right there on top!! It is for cruising the pits at the UTV races. Imagine this if you will, A 250 pound Bubba wearing bib overalls and drunk off his ass, looks to his buddy and says: "Here, hold My Beer.....HEY YA'LL WATCH THIS!!! It is at this point the entertainment begins. I will be selling these once the prototype is done. All of the proceedes go to a good cause. MY RACING FUND !!!
  9. LOL...Due to the economy we had to make cut backs!!!! You sit on top of the roll cage. The steering stem will come out of the front between the "A' arms. it will have a set of nerfs on it for your feet. Kind of like this one
  10. It's been a while since I was on here. I have moved in another direction in Off-Road. I am currently building UTV Ralley cars and small pit cruisers which brings me back to this site. I found an old tie rod from my Banshee and it was just about perfect for my pit cruiser. I figured to make it easy I would just use the steering stem from a Banshee as well. If it is too long I will just cut it down to the size I need. SO with all of that being said I am in need of : Banshee steering stem (Stock) Can anyone tell me what a stock stem dimesions are? (Length and diameter) Tie Rods and ends (Stock) Upper stem mount (stock) An old spindle just so I can see if the Shee ones would work. Iposted in the F/S sction as well but I really need to get these item soon I need to get these by mid week so time is essential. Here are some pictures of the build.
  11. Does any one offer and electric start for the Shee? I am thinking about building a Mini T and the Shee would be a great engine for it. The problem would be that if you stalled it your would have to get out and kick start it.

  13. What part of ATL are you in? I can tell you that Shees are not real sought after here. So for a non-running machine you may be hard pressed to sell it at that price.
  14. I figured that the runners and newer plastic skis would get ate up pretty fast.
  15. After watching those vids, I am depressed. I guess I just need to make enough dough from march till october and take the rest of the year off to "zoot".
