Single seat rear engine buggy build

[ridered3]

Man unfortunately no. With all this Covid BS in the past year, work being slow, and waiting on a wiring harness still! Luckily work has picked back up recently. The company I contacted about building a stand alone harness is supposed to let me know something soon on that. So hopefully by the end of summer I'll have it finished

That's both 100% understandable and 100% unfortunate too!

Did you go 40 or 43" Mickey's?

Aren’t the 43”s basically 40”s anyway?

Pretty much. But i like mine.

40's. They are the same height as the 40 Treps that they replaced. I haven't tried them out yet tho? My father has 43 Mickey's and he likes them other than the shorter height than the SX he had ran.

Thats badass. The proportions make it look like a rzr buggy. Im interested to see the weight bias.

Boy that looks like it’s gonna hurt a lot of feelings. Awesome work

It weighed right at 2900.

I run them on mine and love them. they seem to do really well on light weight buggies. Mine are about half ish tread and they are really starting to grip **** now.

Got anything new to update us on?

Finally got to take it on a shake down run last Saturday. Pretty pleased with it so far I wish I had done a few things differently now but still pretty happy with it. Only had to pull winch once all day so that was a plus. Local place we ride was really slick this past weekend lol. Thanks ridered3 for checking in on my progress!

Appreciate it man!

It's a good trail nothing too crazy, when it's dry it's very doable...but when it's wet it's pretty challenging. Awesome little place to have right by the house for sure.

Come on down. It's at my dad's place in the garage. You can check his new buggy out too. His house is the 2nd on the left past the church on Piney Grove. White house with black top driveway and 2 garage's.
