The additional weight is minimal,,you can shift things around to balance....you just need to figure out a way to get a couple more grand on the tach...that ecotech sounds like it revs more than the suby,,,ecotec with babychains would be awesome.

i been talking to a man that says he can get a couple grand more outta the suby for very small dollars! and i agree the weight can be easily overcome if you balance it rite :wink: i look forward to the new build this winter. ive seen lots of awesome w/c buggys but none yet designed especially built to challenge the light 1 seat ky buggys. i love all the ky boys and there buggys (friends). i just want to build something of my own ideas that can follow em :wink: OR TRY TO :wink:

Welcome to the dark side :twisted: Still waiting to hear someone get one running right and say they miss having AC after a year of running. So we will see how you like it over time.
