Well I drove it and shit it has some power. It does just like chuck said though in 20 ft its wound tight as dicks hat band. I think it will work good on a cookie cutter hill but something long and straight it need a little taller gear. Im gunna run it this year and gear stack it this winter. I launched it and it totes the front wheels about 4 inches high for about ten feet. It will also smoke the tires slap of just by mashing the throttle. I have completely destroyed the front and back yard but so far so good. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Awesome! Go back in the backyard and plow your garden with it. "Bout time to plant pole beans."lol :lol: Have not cranked the new Passat but it's looking good. 42" trailng arms with A-arm front with 7.50x16 tri ribs.Found out why I never had 1st gear. The metal pick up particle magnet would fall out and attach itself between it and the wall!Wheel base is shortened 18". Floor is raised 4".Never got a chance to put 42's or 44's on it. 38's still on it. Who else is flat broke? See ya at Chocc.

Im putting it on scale tommorow. I know it light because the other nite me and mexican fred was groowing my front tires and i had to pick the front end up to spin the tire. AWhen I picked it up it was very heavy, after looking closser i realized the jack was still under the rear and the back tires was about 3 inches off the ground. To make a long story short I picked all 4 wheel off the ground with the front bumper. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops: :oops: :oops:

I got the buggy back together finally. I let a freind of mine drive it at chocolocoo mountain saturday and he smack a rock retaining wall with it. Bent the wheel adapter, and stub axle. It almost snatched the bolts out of the spring plate. I got him back together and its ready to run. :D
