Dune buggy project - Page 3

Wild_Alaskan · 09-09-2012, 12:57 AM

More updates coming soon. The new motor just shipped :twisted:

Weldangrind · 09-09-2012, 01:05 AM

New motor? I thought the 400 was going in the buggy.

Wild_Alaskan · 09-09-2012, 01:37 AM

That was the original plan, but i think with the extra weight of the entire buggy and operating in sand a little more power would be a good thing :wink:

SpudRider · 09-09-2012, 01:49 AM

Dont tease us! :? What motor did you order? :P

Spud

FastDoc · 09-10-2012, 12:03 PM

Gotta say more power is always better. :P

MICRider · 09-10-2012, 11:43 PM

I'm guessing... Snowmobile engine! Those thing's are beast! (But have no transmission)

Wild_Alaskan · 09-11-2012, 12:02 AM

Ok so i got a part of it :wink:

Weldangrind · 09-11-2012, 01:56 AM

I'm guessing Keihin CV carbs, so is it a Honda? A Hawk, maybe?

I was thinking the same thing.

FastDoc · 09-11-2012, 11:39 AM

I am trying to remember what type of carbs come on a Banshee....

Wild_Alaskan · 09-11-2012, 04:24 PM

Well it got here today! so here is another teaser pic

And maybe some real pictures :P

Anyone guess now?

FastDoc · 09-11-2012, 04:39 PM

EX500

katoranger · 09-11-2012, 05:25 PM

Must be. A 250 would be stepping down. Only 2 cylinders. Thought he would go bigger. :(
