    Air bumps

Got tired of breaking 6.17 ring gears (5) and cracking 300 cases (2) and one broken rear output. That was with stock gearing in the 300 so not near the case pressure that a 4:1...

    Battery talk

    Odyssey's can't sit. After killing several PC1200s I finally broke down and bought a fancy charger to tend the batt 24/7......problem solved. In a little buggy like mine where space is at an absolute premium the small size options of the Odyssey batts are great.....but otherwise they are...
