2016-2017
Call this evolutions #5 thru 7 :rofl: picture with race # 26 on it.
2016
Swapped 1-inch vertical jackshaft bearings for stronger setup using alloy race kart bearing housings and 1.25-in. diameter azusa hollow jackshaft.
26-inch tires on 12 inch rims--ITP beadlocks at the rear, Homemade rock ringers up front.

2017
Added front disc brakes and electric power steering from a chevy equinox along with dual battery setup. Rear sprockets upped to 39T.
Chopped rear upper shock mounts off and raised them 5 inches to change swingarm initial angle in order to reduce anti-squat. huge improvement. Kissed C-channel engine bash guard goodbye in the rocks during final race of 2017, not the first piece of aluminum or steel from the Rock that's a part of Line mountain now somewhere!
Made it to the checkered flag in race 1 and 3 and officially completed a lap of race 2.
Net result, 5th Place overall in season points out of 30+ UTVs that attempted the series.

cool stuff!!!!!!!!!

There is something about the 3203 frame that I like, IDK what it is, but I like it. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it.

Updated race history and you tube links, will post latest pictures in original post. I wish more members would use this forum since it was requested by he members to add it!

Bump!
Buggymaster has fixed this forum section so that posts to it show in the "latest threads" area.
Gonna bump up other recent threads from here. With this section sitting all the way at the front page bottom, there's stuff here I don't think anyone was checking out.

Bump for update to the condensed build log.
