Agreed, the rear looks amazing ingenuity at its best, but the front looks rediculous. Why have an approach angle like that, ass opposed to having the tires be in front? Maybe weight distribution I guess, but seems like a bit of an afterthought for such an ambitious project.

Also arent most or all quads upper and lower a-arms, that thing looks as though there is only 1 tube going to the lowers maybe the angle of the pic. Looks like they put 25gs inthe rear 14.5 in the motor and frame and spent 500 pn the front end. its shame to pick apart such a badass idea but damn lets think for a minute

That's what I thought for a second, but if you look their is another part to the lower, I tried to figure out what kept the upright from pivoting back and noticed the rest of the arm.

the lowers are a arms hard to see in the pics, look for mounting points

I see now atleast i wasnt the only one that didnt see it just the only dumbass to say something

No you're not, I just got lucky enough to edit my post before anyone read it. Perks of the new DR.

the front is set up kinda like a corr truck. u can adjust caster like that with out affecting the camber....... its identical to the one at kartek...probly the same company made them... but i dont know if its just the pics or what but in person when down at kartek with robert from dezerttv and chris from am susensions we looked at the quad for a good 15mins and the thing was really nice. in the pics the front maybe a little diffrent then the one we saw but in person the front looked beefier then the pics and the over all build of the one we saw was very very nice.


ide like to build a single seat buggie off the desing....hand tropy cart some comp lol.

same quad that was at kar-tek about a month ago. its bad ass. i guess the owner uses it to prerun for the 500 and the 1000. i would love to take that thing for a run down Barstow main

Bunderson Racing built that quad. he also makes race cars.

Not refering to you or anybody in particular, I just think a lot of people who haven't built a thing are quick to critique a photo displayed out of context, like that driveshaft. Probably just a backup.

I don't know there are some real winners out there

Check out this gem, Long travel IFS. Take a wild guess about the front suspension setup and i'll give you some hints, think lower control arms.

nice... the stock stuff just the uca in the lca place, and the lca a good deal lower on a ghetto subframe?

stock s10 lower arms as uppers and fullsize lower arms as the new lowers with a new diff mounted lower.

wow! oh hey tommy i got that light rack powdercoated black looks sic,hows the rearend?

That Is Pure Enginuity(sp)

ha ha... awesome.

So, regardless of the rest of the "system" shown...

It's not crappy fab, but does that torsion bar relocator/adapter thing (circled in red) really work? It never looked particularly safe to me, but I can see the attraction of not having that rear crossmember hanging down there.

Anyone?

hey mike hows your centermounts comming along?? hey what did you pay for that aim kit and is the one on tsliftkits.com

MySpace
