I am getting near the end c of my 500 build and am thinking about flat tracking it and was wondering what I need to do to make it a decent flat track quad. any help is appreciated thanks
Find out the rules for your local track. I'm sure you will be required to have nerf bars and a tether kill switch. Make your quad low, proper tires, probably a sway bar. Gearing will depend upon length of track and power.
How well would a stock suspension do and I do have nerf bars. and what do you mean by sway bar
I flat track mine and this is what I did. 300EX shocks in the front and yamaha warrior rear shock ( need the ones with the remote bottle). I found a used sway bar ( it is a linkage bar that essentially links both sides of the front suspension.....left side goes up, the bar pushes the right side down). I also recently cut 2" out of my swingarm to get more traction down. Stock suspension will be fine to start with. Just go out and get some tires and start from there. it's a blast!
Where shorter swing arms & top end motors rule
A Captain America helmet and straight axle set up always helps too
If you can, send some pics of the sway bar set up.
Yes. More pics!! Whats that front end? Looks like off a go cart or something.
Here's the article. Interesting concept for sure
when I put those shocks on will they bolt right on our is there any cutting and welding that's gotta happen and does the sway bar mount to the frame or just the two shock mounts its hard to see
Dezled those old magazines are sick !
The shocks bolt right up. I think I had to add spacers on the bottom of the fronts cause the Honda mounts were not as wide. Rear bolted right up just had to put the remote bottle on the frame. My sway bar mounts to the upper A arms (it's a older Rands sway bar) Newer ones bolt to the frame or bumper mounts
