Well I finaly got the beast running Yesterday. I took it out in the street (which by the way, is not a good place to try and drive something that is really fast) and started out very causiously, not knowing what to expect. As I eased into the throttle, I could tell that this thing was not to be taken lightly. I made two passes just going back and forth trying to get a feel for the beast.
On my third pass, I cruised by doing about 15mph then gave it only about half-throttle and instantly flipped the dang thing right on its back. It slid for about 10-15 feet. Holy cow this thing has some serious torque!
After a couple more passes, maybe about 20-25mph, I decided to ease into it a little harder. I gave it some trigger and imediately had to back off because it was going to flip right back over! I think I need a wheelie bar.:W:
I took some pics of it in my garage. My brother-in-law has a digital video camera that I am going to have to barrow so I can show you guys this beast in action.
I will be lowering the thing tonight because it sits too high for high-speed runs. Please give me some input on things you see wrong or things I should do differently.
Here are some pics.
