Has anyone had good luck with these kits?

I have read a couple of people that said that they didnt work for them, but I was wondering if anyone has had good luck with them at all?

I just bought 300 spindles and hubs for my nephews TRX90 and now I am afraid to go any further. I have not bought the kit. If this kit is junk then I dont want to waste my time with it. He will be racing local harescrambles. For me it is either this kit or nothing. Let him ride it like it is. I cannot get any aftermarket a arms and shocks. Just too much money.

Thanks again everyone.

IMO, they are not good for racing. Been there, done that, went with Kids on Quads dual a-arm kit with Elkas. I would sell the 300ex stuff you have and buy some used good front shocks and let him rip. Honda215 has a REAL nice set of HLS front shocks posted in the mini classifieds or shop around for some Works front shocks, I've seen them sell for as little as $100, they make a huge difference over the stock "pogo sticks". Just my opinion.

I guess I need to fing a used set of a arms and shocks. The only problem is that he will only ride it for 1 year then he turns 13 and he can ride the 300ex.

Does anyone have a set of dual a arms for the TRX90 for sale? I want to find a arms first then shocks because it seems like there are more shocks out there than a arms.

Why buy arms & shocks if hes 13? Find some decent shocks & put him on the 300ex when hes ready to move uo. Just my opinion

He has to race on the 90 for 1 year until he is 13. Then he will be racing the 300ex. He rides it now but he is not allowed to race it by AMA rules. Thanks for the in put.

Does any one of these diamond J custom kits that they would like to sell. I have all of the 300ex stuff to try it so it would only cost me the kit to see what it is like.

Is he going to race in OXC? If so I don't think he'll need a wider front end. It may be hard to get into the top 5 without some mods like a 125, but if he can ride it he'll get close and may get in there. Not sure if he already has diff. tires, but getting rid of the balloons would really make it more stable.
