First ever big bore TAYLOR 50 Vesla.5 build!

[niz55]

I replaced the front on my vekta running 65cc because they were little too soft. On the vesla you definitely need something stiffer as the engine is on the back and the weight transfers under load to the rear of the vehicle.

It’s hard breaking trail. Lol.

Added a Taylor billet chassis with Taylor supports. Everything lined up perfect. Some of the supplied bolts weren’t long enough but no big deal. It’s almost too nice to ruin.
It was about 1 hour from start to finish.

Not at all comparable to what it came with.

Pretty. Did you weigh them to see what the difference was?

No. I can weigh my old one? Did you install yours yet?
this is the weight of the stock chassis
2 pounds 9.1 ounces.

I doubt I'm getting one. I don't have good luck with the lightened chassis.

Oh the Taylor chassis isn’t lighter. No way. It is machined out of 10mm aluminum. Beautiful work of art.

Guessing 1 lb more. Than stock chassis. Maybe @Relic-1 can chime in. Can you weigh the Taylor chassis?

Really. Wow definitely not getting one if it's heavier. Looks beautiful tho.

Stock one isn’t very good. So it can’t be worse.

What's wrong with the stock chassis?

What's wrong with the stock chassis?

It’s not billet. It’s flimsy. It doesn’t deserve to be where it is. It will fail. It looks good screwed to my wall in the shop. Lol.

You obviously have no clue what we are talking about here, it isn't about weight

Curious where the chassis was cracking on you? Was it a Taylor? Was it for a 5ive t?

On my vekta. Alx 71 Performante. Under the engine where the engine mounts to the chassis.
