Hi all.... I took my son out Sun to try his hand @ TT racing on his LT-80 and while he ran good and solid he just didn't have enough power. I'm interested in finding 2-3 companies that sell a "complete" upper engine kit ready to bolt on & go racing. IE: cylinder, head, piston, rings, wrist pin, ported & polished cylinder & worked head Etc. Also would a Larger carb be needed based on the engine mods? Any other information on what else to buy or do to set it up would be nice. I figure I'll get some front wheel extenders and some rear wheel spacers. Again, any other trade secrets on what to change, remove or re-work would be appreciated.

Thanks, Rude Dog

P.S. Current mods: Re-worked clutch and after market pipe the rest is stock.

 

bump...

 

I would look for a guy that goes by LT80 on theese forums, Jack is a super nice guy and builds one hell of a motor!

 

I think I've talked to rudedog,,I may be wrong.

I'd recommend getting an axel instead of rear wheel spacers. Front spacers are ok tho.
Did you put the go-kart tires on the rear? (TT)

 

Jack:

No... your right we have talked via email to each other.

This whle hop-up/Racing thing just came up. Iknow getting an axle is better, but based on the
track being nearly flat, won't wheel spacers work for now? Also as I'm not 100% sure if my boy
will want to stick with this type of racing so I figured I'd do a few things and then if he decides to
stay with it we can upgrade more parts later. No It's not on Go-cart tires.... just running turf
tamers right now. This ATV is mosty stock except a pipe and clutch mods. I'm just thought maybe
I'd re-work it to run faster & perform better. My thought was to widen the front & rear and bolt
on someones "top-end" kit for more HP. Later if it goes well I can buy specific tires, shocks Etc.
I know there's a lot that can be done to these LT80's and any help in this area would much
appreciated!!!

I understand about the axel, dont blame you. Yes spacers will work. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

hay man tires are the only thing between you and the ground. sometimes this can be overlooked.? you can have the best bike and fastest bike but if you cant get the power to the ground then well youll be lookin someones liscence plate.

 

Bump..
