how well do you think this set up will work for flat track racing: 87 trx250x frame with 400ex a-arms, and 400ex shocks, with a 87 tecate 295 big bore powervlave motor, and the suspension will all be dropped to the floor.... its also got a durablue + 4 inch axle for that widened stance. i may widen the front even farther than the 400ex a-arms also. just tell me your thoughts of how this will do in a flattrack race?? thanx for all of your input.

 

For all that trouble you should just buy a tecate 4 or trx 250r and be done with it.

 

wat kind of trouble... its not a hard modification to do... tecates are some of the worste handling atv's out there, and hard to find parts for to make it handle good... and i'd end up paying a huge amount for a good shape 250r. i already have the tecate motor, and the 250x to do it, so please, think before you talk next time, b/c i can't afford a whole new atv. plus, a tecate motor will take a 250r motor for speed and power any day, especially b/c of the KIPS, not to mention this is already a 295 big bore, putting out around 50hp. i'd love a 250r chassis and a tecate motor, but i can't afford a 250r chassis!!! also, i'm only 16, so i'm pretty proud of myself for being able to do modifications like this with no help from an adult or parent, plus, i may be 16, but i know a lot more about ATVs than many of the adults on here do... no offense!!

 

any thoughts on this mod quad?

 

I say go for it cause that thing will rip once you get it running!

 

thanks, i sure hope ur right!

 

it will be a heck of a machine. what are you going to do with the thumper motor after you pull it?

 

fartman, i'm hoping to get rid of it...i'll probably part it out, b/c it needs a rebuild anyway... if ur interested in anything e-mail me at riskflattrackracing@yahoo.com... read my sig with some stuff i have on my x if ur interested in anything else engine related than just e-mail me.
