It's probably too late for you to want to reengineer it, but there are 2 massive upgrades you can make to this that'll have similar characteristics as a solid axle while eliminating several downsides/adding quite a few benefits. 1. Convert it to a de-dion axle. 2. Switch the link setup to a Satchell Link. If you can't find adequate explanations yourself, I'd be happy to explain further in another comment. For the exhaust, I say run it wide open, but put the caps back on the inserts and keep the inserts, screws, and allen key on the buggy in a little bag so you can go "stealth mode" if you have to. I highly doubt that engine is putting out enough exhaust flow to be restricted by the fully capped insert, especially since you have TWO mufflers for it to flow through instead of just one.
Thank you! appreciate the tip. We might have to swap the engine assuming it doesn't put out enough HP. Shes getting heavy. Might be a great opportunity.
@@ModzandMore413 Epic! Just make sure that you have a solution for ACTUAL 2wd in the diff. 2wd is great fun, but 1wd? Not so much and 4x more likely to get stuck, too! Also, speaking about power, I think anything in the 35-90hp range would be great for this build, especially with at least 30-50lb-ft of torque. Just be mindful of engine weight, too! No sense in putting a Harley 883 on there to get into the 50hp/50tq range, but have an engine that weighs as much as a full-grown man when you can put a Duke 890 motor on there for more than double the power/rpm and only 2/3 the weight (plus a cooler sound, too, IMO).
Looks good! I personally would keep the silencer on.
I agree. I'm kinda leaning towards the second option without the cap on the end.
Just commenting to help the algorithm in the channel Sweet build man
I appreciate it!
Wicked awesome machine
I have a Kawasaki bayou 220 with a DC muffler I called it kawaraptor it sounds really good and deep.
Let's get this going!! Like and sub, guys!!
Really appreciate it! Thank you!
Good shit
Thanks Brother! Feel better.

Why do the shocks need straps?
