I have finished my mods to the engine on my 300ex for now. This thing runs sweet!! i havent had a chance to see exactly how fast it is yet against anything bigger(400ex,banshee,etc.) but it feels a whole lot faster all the way around! I am about to move on to chassis components and i need some ideas. I know i am getting an axle,shocks,maybe offset spindles. I dont know if i should get wider a-arms and axle b/c i ride in VERY tight trails and i barely fit now. do they make a-arms that only add like maybe a 1/2 inch to each side or maybe an inch on each side? same goes for the axle....thanks

hm..you could really use suspension!

get yourself a set of 400ex A-arms, they add almost 2 inches, and 1 inch forward.

get the weld in shock tower, and use 400ex shocks.

You can get a Durablue axle in Stock lenghts

I'm not sure about the LoneStar

http://www.inficad.com/~atv/a-arms/a-arms.htm

they have it

but you have to completely remove your old shock tower and weld the new one in

my est

Shock tower+Welding 150
400ex A-arms 200
Shocks 150
Tie Rods 20


if you aren't handy with a hack saw and a grinder don't attempt this mod..you can get towers that don't have to have to old one cut out. I liked removing my old one, i think its going to be very solid when i'm done with it. I can take pictures of it mounted in the jig

or if anyone else wants them before i get my site done
