Sorry guys, haven't had a chance to take any pix yet. Been wrestling with two major issues with the buggy. The first issue is the front suspension, it SUCKS!!! I was wondering if anyone has tried fabbing a setup like on the rear of a monoshock dirtbike? They get long travel with a short shock and it's kind of cushy. Why can't that same design be used on the front of a buggy with a shock from like a mountain bike? My second issue is "VIBRATION", this DT400 motor has such intense vibration that I can rev it up in neutral and the springs on the rear shocks vibrate so hard that they actually collapse some and you can see the rear of the buggy drop about 2-3 inches. My idea is to use transmission mounts as motor mounts. I'm thinking Ford truck E4OD mount for the front and 4L60E 4-bolt mount for the rear. Has anyone tried this or am I going to be the first to attempt it? Need all the input I can get on these two issues. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
