Well then rsvp through the link.

The Lifan motors bolt right in an atc.

Well all my parts are now prepped, sanded and ready for paint! Now time to spend some rediculous cash over at dratv.

It is all about personal opinion, but in my years of duning nothing beats A Skat Trak Extreme Hauler. I have put them on every quad I have owned. They still turn just fine if you know how to ride, they hook like nothing else, and the extreme's hold up over time even if you go blasting over the flat stretches that are rocky. I have 6 years on my Haulers on my Raptor and they still look and work great. But to tell you the truth, those Sand Shark II's are the chit as long as you don't mount them on "crappy Douglas wheels." Oh and are you running 91 octane in the dunes? Cause that matters as well. p.s. if I still have my other Raptor the next time you go out, you are welcome to use my paddles for the weekend and see how they work.

Tix at the station in town? Pre-registering gaurantees you an event t-shirt, gets you a wrist band to participate, a 2nd annual regatta sticker, and helps pay for the costs forthe permit & insurance we are required to get. All spectators and participants will be responsible for their entry fee into Dumont like any other weekend. Hope that answers your question.

PICK A NAME AND STICK TO IT!

I'll probably be out Thursday, but track setup is Friday.

Of course, that is Ken's specialty.

We have some of those badass LED icicle lights on our house.

No problem. I guess the next step is to get sanding on this stuff. But we can't get going on paint until the new fenders arrive. So...with that said...get over hear with some cold beer and sandpaper. Ken decided to paint everything up over here at my place so when it's time for that it will be a great reason to get a few DDR peeps together for garage beers. :peeps:

Thanks Dan Track setup is Friday the 29th so whoever can come help with that will be a HUGE help.

what a d*ck!

for a reminder that there are still a ton of peeps who I know are going that haven't registered yet. C'mon guys, let's get crackin.

degreased & pressure washed the frame & other parts to be painted... Tweeking the frame & forks a tad to straighten them back out. Everything is just about ready to go to Kens Colors for paint.

Overall working time...probably 30 minutes to an hour and I was taking my sweet a$$ time. I worked on and off at it last night for a few hours. Dissasemble something, drink beer, get an idea, stop working, go to computer and price sh*t out and look stuff up, etc etc. Repeat that a few times. I'm actually gonna order up a Lifan 110cc auto clutch/ electric start. I want the 125cc and I kinda like the idea of having a clutch, but it just isn't very practical when it comes to grabbing a beer and cruising across camp (the whole point of having this thing in the 1st place lol). I hear the 110 still rips pretty hard. How much can 10-15cc really make a difference anyways? I made some more progress tonight. I'll post up pics in a few.

Just T-off the same headlight power source wire that goes to that terminal. That's what I did and my little LED tailight and my headlight run just fine off the factory stator or whatever it hell is in there. Staor, flux capacitor, hampster, whatever?

Funny you posted this. I was looking into the same thing since I started tearing mine down. I need MORE POWER too. If you get the pull start mod handled then you should be set other than maybe having to get the modded carb intake so it clears. I think dr atv sells the manifold. I hear they bolt right up and use the 420 chain still. From what I hear there's not much else other than on some I guess you might have to extend or lengthen the footpeg assembly where the bolt to the motor. I think the factory exhaust bolts right up to the Lifan motors, but don't hold me to that. Liuke I said, I am in the same stage right now researching it as well. Which Lifan motor were you looking at puttin in? cc? auto, clutch?

Well, I decided to tear down the 70 and give it a quick makeover. I will try and keep this thread updated with a build log as I go. It's gotta get done quickly since the regatta is right around the corner. before teardown and on the operating table... chain was super stretched out and the tensioner wasn't even doing anything... After dropping the motor out... Pretty much all torn down... Now the fun begins. Don't ask what my plans are because I don't even know for sure yet. Stay tuned and you & I will find out.

I told OGP I'd post up the wire that mine is plugged into. I figured some others might wanna know as well. It's the green wire in the 3 wire connector with the rubber cap on it. (I know, it's freakin filthy right now, but thats why its being torn down to be cleaned up. )

yep, he's asking about 18k-20k too much! Here are some sale killers for a car in the 20-30K price range: VW motor, VW trans, old school chassis design, seems like a funky suspension geometry.....I'd have to pass on that "deal".

Oh man that is great news, Randy! I've been texting Chris and he still seems to be in great spirits and doing really well. I hope the recovery goes quicker than expected. Thanks for keeping us up to date.

Killer shots, Neal. Great job and very cool you got to do that with them.

Yeah I know. We couldn't go though- already had other plans.

Congratulations, Eric. Bitchen car for sure! Beautiful. But to say this is a "keeper"? Those are some strong words. I'll believe it when I see you with this car next season. Now when's the maiden voyage? Let's dune!
