Wooo Hoooooo. Done. 45 hours maybe? Killer project. Brand new mini, first in southern New Mexico, cut it up and rebuilt it in my image, sneaky style, 'cause it's for Christmas.....WOooooO---HoooooO!!
Raptorette

Raptorette Construction

Just for the record,,,,seat height 26". wheel travel 6", width 41" front, 42" rear, wheelbase 42". Blaster A-arms, custom modified frame, Works shocks, Douglas wheels.

 

Thats awsome! You did an excellent job. Now thats what a Raptor 80 should look like from the factory!

 

fourlix- that looks top notch. Everytime is watch my kid on his badger from now on i will be thinking, to bad i am not mechanicaly able. Your kid will be soaking up the bumps and my kid will be bouncing. Oh well life is not fair, and i did not have a quad at his age. Killer deal! You should start modded these things for others. I would pay. My kid is not ready to move up, but he is ahead of his badger.

 

Well done, looks awesome. I bet you can't wait to see the look on your sons face. How much all together did you spend(bike/parts/etc.)?

 

Over a grand plus $2499 plus 45 hours. Sure was fun. I am so grinning from ear to ear on this one...This baby's got two pontoons...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

impressive......

 

Do you have any pictures of it next to the full size one? Would be cool to see just to get a better scale idea. Awesome work!

 

THats pretty impressive. Congrats. The little man is gonna have an awesome Christmas.

 

Fourlix,you are an engineering GOD !!

That looks so factory,you should patent the parts you made to make sure Yamaha doesn't steal your idea. I'm sure once your kid starts riding it,you will get requests from everyone with a young rider. This is what all kids deserve, a quad with a safe wheelbase and great handling,a REAL suspenion(not some 2" pogo sticks) You could probably go into business modifying or making kits for things like this. What a lucky little man you have,what a Christmas! Makes me want one,but my son outgrew the minis a while ago. I SINCERELY HOPE ALL QUAD MAKERS TAKE NOTE OF THIS-MAKE SOME DECENT KIDS QUADS, NOT GLORIFIED POWER WHEELS WITH A MOTOR !!!!
Once again,great job,be sure and post the pictures of your son riding it, if he can fit his helmet over his ear-to-ear grin !!

 

Nice work...did you fire it up? The little one will be excited for sure.
Is your son into quads enough to appreciate all that extra work? Make sure you post a picture of his face christmas morning [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
