What happened to the mini quad knowledge on this site?
maybe if there is something you need to know you should ask the question......I'm sure posts from 3 years ago are pretty far back in the pages and forgotten already. Asking the question again would probably get a lot of people posting this "knowledge" you speak of [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I think you will find that even in going back a few years, the info was flowing from only a few individuals. As their kids grow, the problems outgrow the kids area, and their interests move on as well. Guys like spike99 are still around, you just have to ask them directly. I can't think of anyone more qualified.

Sqeege, I'll try to answer that without stirring up a mess. A while back, this forum had it's share of vendors and parts gurus who were huge contributors. One in particular had devoted hours and hours reponding to peoples's qwestions. But then, one day, that member and all those hours of contribution just dissapeared with a keystroke. What a waste. Guy ticked someone off I guess. Guys like Hetrick, L7R, WRH, Trinity, Sims, MaxRPM, to name a few, go where they are welcomed, and yeah, they're in it for the money. More importantly, they're in it for a deeply ingrained love of our sport. None of these guys just woke up one day and decided to be a mini-quad expert. The experience that these guys bring to the table and their dedication to the proliferation of our sport deserve something! And even though they've earned the right to ask for compensation, rarely do you see them do it out of respect for the forum. This forum is so against anyone even hinting that they might like compensation for their knowledge that it's no wonder that the big guns don't even offer to help here. (I mean no offense to anyone already here who considers themselves good with the minis. I certainly respect you too, lol! Love Spike to death, great guy! And no Jack, LT80, didn't forget you, also a legend! And Raptorlegs and I'm sure lots of others!) But here, ya can't link to a web page, can't offer to sell a solution, can't even point folks to your eBay auctions without threat of reprisal, for pete's sake. I for one am not opposed to helping anyone. I have a toll free tech line that I pay for because my typing ain't the greatest, lol! And yeah, I'll sell a part or 2 over that line to help pay the expense. But heaven forbid if I try to post that # here. I publish that # and an e-mail address along with an open invitation to help people. And, I don't care where they got the parts...they still need help. For me, its part of the fun of it! Other highly respected forums seem to have a little more tolerance for that kind of activity. Anyway, that's my 2 penny's worth. I believe that this post and my user profile will probably dissapear soon, so read this while ya can, lol! If I don't get zapped, then by all means, fire away with any mini-quad questions you have. I'll do my best to help. I do apologise for stepping on toes, but the truth hurts sometimes. For those that read this and need help, I'm one of the above mentioned mini-quad guys. If I don't get blasted off again, I promise to behave. Ride safe everybody! Yippee Ki Yayyyy!! Ed and crew.
