But im pretty posative the chassis is gonna be flat black, and the body is going to be white, i still need to fab the body, but thats down the road, right now i want to test and tune and fix and rework etc etc the chassis, at the same time racing it....im thinking paint will be after the riding season ends, right now its gonna get a good coat of wd40 every once in a while....

I would however put a bearing on the end of the drive shaft coming out of the FNR box to the engine because i think 100Hp would bend that thing.
heres what i came up with, it also adjusts the cassette....
I ran her about 10 laps on my 4/10 mile track today, I have one issue that shut me down, I will be fixing that this week, Its one of the expiremental issues, It may not be fixed, but the next step to the expierement anyhow...No video, I was to anxious and broke it before my wife could get it setup....

Don't get the bargain CV joints next time Well that's a good sign that your buggy isn't underpowered.
Actually I am using oem cavalier axles and cvs...But they come up 8" to short, so the ones pictured i welded, but i used mild steel bar, bored each end pressed the splined stub in, welll the mild steel gave out, not the weld, so now i am using a bit larger diameter in 4140, they should be bulletproof, i also am heat treating them after they are welded....I got a line on getting some splined to fit, but i really want to make sure the tripot joints are gonna be durable off road first....

New axles are some beefy beefy son of a guns, Doubt these will break, If they do i got a guy lined up to spline some...
Arebldr, are you planning to run cavalier axles your next go around, It will be a bit more costly to setup for one pair, Sre would like to take advantage and make more later....All tho my customs should hold up excellent....I am welding them together, but i think the process is unbeatable, 4140 shaft oil hardened after weld....Ill post pics tommorow....
