Well we went back to the forest on Friday. This time my wife could not go, so I let my good friends son ride the Marchin 150, he's 10 years old and has been riding a long time. Anyway he put the thing though its paces, mud holes, and getting a little air in the whoops. It did great.
NOW, The left rear wheel came off and bent the rim later on in the day. I did not check the lug nuts so its probably my fault. I have new studs and lug nuts on the way. I think I can straighten the wheel, if not I will get a new one. Also the exhaust flange on the engine came loose and I had to tighten that up.
So fella's go over everything don't miss one nut or bolt. I thought I did and overlooked the lug nuts and exhaust.

Smokerider,
No worries, it happens to all of us...we all miss one. Remember this, it is our hope that this forum drives these quality changes. If you were the manufacturer and
seen all these gripes about bolts loosening up and needing loctite...and frankly, all the horror stories...wouldn't you start changing the process to include loctite?
Keep posting and they will eventually change. SEADAWG
