No no binding there. Just seems the gears meshing is a little tighter after the Turtle racing parts were installed. Figure everything will wear in or I'll burn up a bearing somewhere in the drive train . I'm hoping for everything wearing in .
Oh it's getting closer . Throttle linkage is next then the 5t side parts . The new pipe will be here tomorrow .
Looking good ? are you running the Scorpion unlimited solid chassis? Cuz I have it and yours looks like it
 
You planning on running into a few things ? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Actually it can't be helped sometimes .If I were to do it again I think I would go with a different company for the stiffener . The Scorpion forces you to to cut the tab on the plastic piece that attaches to it and the bumper . Not a big deal but they could have milled/punched the square hole into it .

Yeah they should have, personally I wouldn't mind cutting the tab but that's just me ?
 
Okay I got some more goodness for the buggy today . Feast your eyes . 6310 - 9.4hp Full Mod G340RC 34cc +2mm Stroker TR/OBR Reed Case Engine With V2 Reed Case .

Well, that's what USPS specializes in, being late and not giving a damn about your package ?. Beautiful pipe got there! Bet it will rip!
 
Actually this is the first time I've had some thing come late where I was wondering WTF. So i really can't complain .
That's awesome that USPS don't suck over there! ? USPS here sucks! Like there always late, or sometimes sits for a day or two and don't care about the package. Once I ordered a phone and when it arrived they pretty much tossed it on the porch, and it had fragile on the box, I was too excited to care back then but if it was me now I probs would said something. Good thing now is that the house I'm in now has one of those community mail boxed so they cant throw stuff. Still there late or let it sit for too long.
 
Yes it is .

Attached and safty wired the header. And Mocked up the pipe in place . I still need to make final adjustments to the throttle linkage before I bolt the pipe into place . Looking good though . :)
looking good, the cage clears ???
I welded extension on mine to clear chassie, just painted it waiting for it to dry
will post before an after picks when mounted
