Well,I got started on assembling the drr last night.I have been super busy with work so I am only getting to work on it here and there but it is next years quad so there is no hurry.I really wanted to go with the DC longtravel set up but it just isn't in the budget right now so I reatained the stock a arms and beefed up the swingarm and hope it holds at least until the new one comes out.Here is how it looks so far....

Bring it on over

After working on cars 44-48 hours a week it is a nice change of pace to work on these little quads.

I wish I could win the lottery or something.I have a feeling I am going to regret not going the long travel route.He was testing out his long travel Kasea today.

Yep - you'll regret it after looking at those pics!!! We're always in a hurry! LOL

Posted by: riding4fun

Wow, that's looking good. Can I send my frame to you to gusset. That looks purdy.

The Elkas pictured on the DRR are now for sale if anyone is interested.

Jason , after viewing the pics of your rider I dont think you have any choice about the long travel , landing from that altitude , on stock suspension will make your rider and your chassis ACHE! If he gets any higher you will have to report flight plans with air traffic control. LOL Your parts are on the way. By the way I really like the white.

It's lying on the floor with the rest of the stock parts at the moment but it will end up on the other frame eventually

By the way,how is the powdercoating going?
