My Carbide after the Mods!
I would have made a longer video, but it was soooo cold outside! But, I finally got around to making a video of me driving my carbide after the mods. It's not very long, but I'll probably be making more clips and putting them all together. Current mods: 10g sliders, Uni filter, removed spark arrestor, 1500RPM main clutch spring.

Variator mods alone will make a big difference! Yes, a few MPH will be cut off the top end, but the amount of low end power that will be gained will be worth it.

Uin filter, no rev cdi, and a high performance clutch will all help regain speed without doing heavy mods to the engine.

Evan,
I wouldn't recommend getting just a spring and nothing else. You're not going to see much of any performance gain other than maybe a little more mid-range power (but not much). If you don't need more low end, then go with a UNI filter and velocity stack/carb rejet like Josh got. It'll give you more overall power from bottom to top and you'll probably GAIN some top speed and definitely not lose any low end! It's the level 1 air performance package on my site for GY6.

It worked for me. My speed loss was only about 5 MPH. But, of corse, that can be regained as I told you.

11g sliders will still give you a bunch more low end, with a little less top end loss. The UNI filter air intake mod will give back some of that top end without negatively affecting the low end.

Hey Mike, how much speed do you think could be gained from a no rev cdi and a racing clutch?

Bit more top speed and much better clutch engagement when climbing. My buggy went from bogging down and slowing significantly on hills to powering right up them - or digging holes in the side of it from spinning the tires on a hill that was too steep or too loose soil!

Hi Buggyman,
Have you done any mods to the CVT area yet? If not, you should consider doing the same things that Josh did and Evan is considering: 10 or 11g slider weights, yellow main spring, and UNI air intake with velocity stack and carburetor rejet. Will cost about $90 shipped and give you a bunch more low end and get you up those hills. Ask Josh about the difference in his buggy!

to Mike:
I don't know how much better it could get. I just finished driving around the neighborhood, and I found this absolutely awesome hill for climbing and going down. The Carbide did awesome! to Buggyman: If you have a Helix, it is really easy to get more climbing power out of them, at the expense of some top end speed.

Im going to pick up my first dune buggy probably this weekend. It's a used 2007 carbide good shape getting it for $1,000. Does anyone know what are the main things i can to to make it climb decent hills or will it be able to do it? thanks

#73
|
||||
|
||||
Well, you should start with changing the roller weights in it to slider weights, say, 10g, the main clutch spring to a 1500RPM and a Uni air intake and re jet the carb if that hasn't been done already.

If your looking to climb hills, the variator / clutch mods are your best bet.

yeah im getting it for my hunt camp to rip around on. I got 100 acres of basically hydro line hills and some mud terrain but mostly trails. Where can i order the parts i need from TSC? because i know they sell new carbides there.

No. Not TSC. SYC power sports. Their link is on the homepage. I don't like the site, but, whatever.
