Junk
Have a few 1.25" heims already wore out also... what are yall using for heims? These generic ones from barnes/ruffstuff aint cutting it.
The exhaust flex joint was blew out like my buddies sister after a bad friday night cause it was cheap
Makes sense on the exhaust joint however I have no desire to start bending exhaust tubing again at this point. Picked up a "good" flex joint from summit to weld back in this ones place. Trans coolers are the same, still running two. The "small" griffin below the fuel cell and the derale above the fuel cell for just a pass through. May or may not have to wire up the fan on the second one for summer.EMF
No flex joint for me. Make a bracket to hold the exhaust directly to the drivetrain instead of the chassis and you won't need one.
What are you doing for the trans cooler ? Keeping it where it was ?
Pretty sure @Chris_Keziah has one in the parking lotNothing real exciting happening here but progress is progress. I forgot how bad I hated cleaning axles. Anybody know the exact measurement of the 05up stuff from back of C to wms??
I'll go measure here in a fewNothing real exciting happening here but progress is progress. I forgot how bad I hated cleaning axles. Anybody know the exact measurement of the 05up stuff from back of C to wms??
Doesn't your ruler start at 3"?I'll go measure here in a few
If it does I'm in the wrong professionDoesn't your ruler start at 3"?
Thanks! I had 12 7/8 so I wasnt far off. Hoping to get these axles clean sometime soon and start cutting on stuff. Shooting for 66"wms or there about on the rear steer axle.If it does I'm in the wrong profession
@Scottal ~45.5" C to C, so should be ~13.25" WMS to C minus rotor thickness.

How often is your buggy sitting level on flat ground?What degree should the motor and trans be set at while the chassis is level? Ive heard level and ive heard tilt it back 2-4 degrees.
Yes, same pattern, but the depth and pulley offsets are differentDoes a cbr pump share the same mount as a tc pump? Or is it actually bigger?
40 is max I can go without machining shafts. That's out of the cards for the time being on the front unless I get excited with a grinder. But the rear being 1550, I'm curious to know if somebody already knew what kind of angle was possible with 8" ram and factory knuckle holes. Will be using single ended rams to save weight and money. Could use a 2x10 tractor supply ram on the rear if necessary to max the 1550 shaftsHow often is your buggy sitting level on flat ground?
Doesn't matter
This was my thoughts also but figured somebody had an opinion.

Perfect
Rest of the questions I can't answer, there are other parameters to take into account before providing with an answer.
Also, 40 degrees only for steering angle ?

I dont disagree but I hate the idea of the weld on arm. I dont have the correct rods and stuff to do it the right way either. Less fail points without that and large money savings on not buying a 3x9 double ended ram.Seems like this would be cheap enough not to worry about it. Jesse has already figured it all out.
FYI, I've have had decent luck with mig welding them with standard wire after a good pre-heat, controlled cooldown.I dont disagree but I hate the idea of the weld on arm.
