I have started to build a off roader based on the Suzuki Bandit 1200 motorbike motor. It has a 2.1m wheel base and should go like the clappers. Pics to follow

Good stuff
rgv greg has a new one right now with bike engine, would be great up the river bed..
Here are some pics of the build with the frame taking shape, I have been working on the motor and will take pics once back together. but here are some starters :arrow: :arrow:
Here is the tricky bit...we have to have solid rear drive with no diff, but have to have reverse, So Between Konrad and myself we have come up with a reverse using the planitery gears from a lexus transmission, The main shaft I have had the splines cut to take subaru CV joints but has a spline to take the internals.
You will see as I go as even Im confused :mrgreen:
Hi Mike
Are you building this to race or just for fun?..Mabey bring it up to taupo for the 1000 next september. does konrad still have his class 10?
Shane..
Hi Shane, Yes its to race,I have stripped the motor and its in good nick. Konrad is building one much the same (thats where the basic plan came from) and yes we have talked about the 1000. He sold the old one and now has a bigger motor 8O
I have had to stop working on it so I can get a boat going for Xmas, but after that its back onto it
Regards Mike
Ive raced the 1000 twice now, Id recomend it too anyone but shareing the drive with someone else would be a good idea if it was your first time. I beleive theyve had teams from Dubai, USA, Australia and England showing intereast..
