Remember, you asked for our opinions.
Also remember that my words of wisdom  , or lumps of turds (your choice) are just being stated to save you money and injury. So here goes - run away.When I first looked at the picture, my first thought was, this thing will self destruct. I think that you would be far better off, to pick up a used Spiderbox, HH, or something else and go from there. The structural integrity of the frame alone has much to be desired.

ditto toomany. to buy one of these new and add a bigger engine means you're going to have to upgrade a lot more ..a-arms, shocks, spindles, ball joints, tie rods, reinforce tubing junctions, add tubing, weld in supports etc. etc. etc. etc. ...better to do all that to a cheap used one or build from scratch.
The only reason not to do all that is if you intend to mod the 150 engine. even then there are a few things you'll end up needing to address after awhile. otherwise, there's a lot of work ahead for an engine swap, even with a new buggy. |
