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.
