Posted by: Nichols Atvs

Well after running Neatv I have decided to do a metrakit WC conversion. Parts are ordered. I have a custom bumper being made the aluminum rad will fit in it . We'll see how fast we can make this original air cooled 50 go . Any one done this yet shoot me some ideas

You could have used a stock DRX radiator that will bolt right on. They are a good size and shouldnt have any isuues overheating. Are you coming to play with us at Jolly Roger?

Hey thanks for the pic that was an awesome jump. as far Jolly i cant make it Landon cant ride for another two weeks. Alum
rad was only alittle more and when i was getting the bumper made they asked if i wanted to have it mounted to it i said sure save me one step putting it together. Hopfully well make a few races next year. Alot of fast quads i thought we did great running a stock 70 it a fully moded field of quads we didnt get last and he is just 6 years old.

So I guess he likes it.

I like the hood.

Suspension is next for you. Then he can really open it up.

All right What are you all running for gears I need to tame this beast its spinnig like crazy we rode yesterday it was a little muddy but no mud in the corners every time Landon gos into a corner this thing takes off spinning not thats a big deal he will get use to it . Just wondering what evryone has got for gears .Im running a 20 front 30 rear wondering if i should go taller or shorter im thinking shorter im allso running 5.4 rollers wonder if i should raise the weight or lower im thinking raise . What have we got for hypothetical anwsers

Posted by: bulldogfallon

We run

Malossi Red Torque Spring
2K Clutch Springs
Stock 90cc belt (787x16)
3 or 3.2 gr rollers

Gearing 21T Fr 30 Rear

We also run the PVL so I don't know how much that effects the roller weight choice.

Posted by: jerkyboy

What size tire you running. If you got 16s id try going to a 18"
tire. Or go down a tooth in the rear to a 29t sproket.

Posted by: Nichols Atvs

Running 18 in snow hogs i think ill try a 28 rear
