OK this is the start of the Grasshopper project for my son !
I started this in anther thread but it was time for its own post!
I got this buggy in trade for some landscaping work i did .
Not sure of the real brand but it had a 50cc Loncin 2 speed forward and reverse!
My 9 year old son loved it until his learning curve caught up with the low speed and the clunky 2 speed trans!
I had a 110cc Loncin in a wreck ATV that ran ! I pulled it and slid it in the buggy. After cutting the case some to fit the angle of the chain,it work great.
My son could blow doughnuts in the front yard all day long and even keep up and sometimes pass the Corssfire 150,s i have on the back trails. He then snap the frame in half right at the engine cage .
My son loves looking at all the projects here on this site ! After comparing a few build projects here we decided to to a complete make over on the Buggy he now calls his GRASSHOPPER !
Let the build begin and please any input is welcomed , Jump in anytime . First real buggy rebuild so any help will be great !
Thanks from the DAD and SON TEAM !
LET THE MODS BEGIN
