I have a DRX 2 90 ltd. that is the older style with the shorter frame.
If I order a new frame, will I be able to just bolt ecverything from this one onto it, or did they change anything else??
This one is so tight in the front, by the upper a-arm bracket, that you can barely even get the spark plug out.
Just thought I would throw that out there for everyone to think about.
That also will lengthen the wheelbase, correct?? I have noticed that our Apex 70 is about 2inches longer wheel base than the DRX.

The swingarm is 2" longer on the newer quads

You can tell by looking at where the rear shock mounts...there is a support tube and the longer swingarms have 2 horizontal tubes for support.

The a-arm mounts may be different I believe (not 100% sure)

Getting the heads off where a problem so they altered the frame

Bob, I can guarantee you the upper "A" arms are different length and will not bolt on. You will induce too much camber in the front spindles if you use old arms.

That's what I was afraid of. :ermm:
