 Like someone once said there is no worse feeling than walking two miles out of the woods cuz you built a piece of shit.

Man Specs got you under his spell
Looks like your almost ready to get started
Honda front 4 on 144                 yamaha front 4 on 156
honda rear 4 on 110                  yamaha rear 4 on 115

Yeah i remember someone saying that and it really hit home with me. Didnt understand what the Honda and Yamaha numbers were?...Ahhh...i see what you are saying...I was talking about honda car hubs and yamaha rear hubs. Sorry for the confusion.

[VLADD]

I don't know what the honda car hub BP. is But the standard on the sprt quads (warrior/banshee/450's) is the 4 on 115

OK ordered the frame plans for the SS2 today and should have them soon as they get to my email address. Ill print them off and copy them to a cd. Now all i got to do is mod the plans like i want them and buy the tubing and get this thing cranked up.

I know im gonna run into alot of little bugs with the honda trans but ill keep it all posted in the right threads so people can follow along. Wish me luck and thanks for all the support up till now. I know i will be calling on everyone for help so once again thanks for being there and giving us a good home to come to for advice. This site rocks...

I think every one will try to be helpful.Contradictory maybe but helpful!
 

[boltz2012]

Im sure they will...Input is good even if its not what i want to hear..

[boltz2012]

Im thinking it will look something like this....just without the balloon tires. Gonna have muddin tires on it.

Good overall look.Make sure that you design out the dead tubes that are there as shown. The load paths should carry through uninterrupted .

     Ummm...ok. Can you elaborate a little more bro i dont understand exactly what you mean. Im going to replace some of the tubes with the red ones or add some where the red ones are..

[boltz2012]

Just an idea but how much do you think this buggy weighs?

[borris]

Like this. Dead tubes on right.See how the load applied to the top of the left setup will carry through to the bottom rail directly and it doesn't in the right side setup?

Hell I don't know! :  :-\ 700-100 maybe. I don't really know how big it'll be finished. Don't be suprised if it hits 800+ though.

[boltz2012]

Gotcha...800# isnt bad though is it? A 600cc should push it around shouldnt it?
