[frankenyoter]

I will even wash the dishes without asking AND take out the trash! Looks like fun, good luck with the build.

 

[quickracer]

[TJcrawler97]

Thats so cool! lucky kids! I had to convert my lawn tractor into my 4x2 mudder when I was a kid.

 

[Msperlazza]

Nice wish I had something that sweet when I was a kid cant wait to see this finished.

still collecting parts..........going with a different motor set up,
honda trx 250 motor, to a sammi case.

 

[bowtieman55]

how do you hook a 4 wheeler engine to a Sammi (or any other automotive) t-case?

 

[quickracer]

after three and a half months i decided to drag it of storage...worked on it all day....havent had any time or funds to put into it lately,so doing what i can with what i have.
.
.I set the 250r motor and sammi case in it,front axle and driveshaft is in.
the wheelbase is longer than i wanted,Its 96 inches,I was shooting for 70-75..with the drivetrain setup i have there is no options.
so i went from 31s to 33 tsl's because of the wheelbase difference.
pics later..

 

[quickracer]

pics,i borrowed a camera,,date is wrong.ended up with 96 inch wheelbase.

Hopefuly the sammi axles will do ok with the small motor,we will find out in a month or so.

nice ... when I was stationed at ft. Benning I hung out with a guy who built one of these for his daughter .. He used a honda civic motor and transaxle mounted sideways (always in low range becouse the trans-axle acted like a transfercase) ... it will be cool to see how you built this ...

i have a civic motor,but my youngest is 5 ,so less power for now is a better option for this buggy at the moment.
i already built one with an accord 2.2 just like the one your talking about.
