[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 748981, member: 1068"] There are obvious tradeoffs with motor and seat placement. We put ours way back and down inside the chassis, so much so that before you put the radiator, coolers, winch, etc back behind the grill, it almost looks wrong. You would fit an entire extra motor in there...but that fills up fast. You sit so far back in a bouncer but the motor is WAY forward. There is almost a foot of room behind the motor and in front of the firewall on some of those buggies. I personally dont feel like that works well in a well rounded tough trail riding world. The weight bias just isnt what I personally prefer - but it works for that style buggy if thats what you are looking for. Size is also all really relative, I make mine roomy where you want it, but still small where you can get vision and corner clearance. breakover angles and approach/departure angles are there as well. The 2 seater sits LOW, at full bump your tires are pretty well even with the top of the hood. That nets you a 20" ish belly at ride height and an overall height of ~6ft tall; but the weight is all down low and in the middle where its controllable and predictable. This 2 seater is being built out by the customer in KY [ATTACH type="full"]118381[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]118382[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]118383[/ATTACH] Let me know if anyone has any questions or wants to see something specific.
