Winter Build Has OFFICIALLY Started!

[A A R O N]

Today I had a little time to start tearing the quad apart and getting it ready for the rebuild coming soon. I figured I'd post my progress on here as it comes along 'cause these threads are always fun to watch.

-Plans (subject to change along the way :p )

-white pc frame
-black pc a-arms and swingarm
-green hiper rings front and rear
-custom gt thunder / yamaha green/black graphics kit
-new maxxis tires
-new custom hmf exhaust
-gt thunder motor
-possibly a jb subframe
-rath nerf bars and heel guards
-rpm axle
-full shock service and custom gt thunder setup front and rear
-etc, etc....basically going with a green/black/white color scheme and throwing on some new parts here and there....

Here's some pics of what the quad looked like when I first got it and as of today when I started getting the a-arms off for pc. More pics of the process will follow.

As always, share your opinions, ideas, thoughts....whatever

I like it a lot, it's a good crisp sound and it ran really well but I'm getting rid of it for sponsorship reasons. It's in good shape but it would probably need repacked. I'm selling it for $200 if you're interested.

[yfzrider45]

thanks for offering but i already have one coming my wayy!! click on my thread in my sig. if you need any parts...

Thanks guys. Once it's done I'll get some decent pictures of the whole thing and clean it up a little bit too. Then it's time to ride :D


Jim Beam....I wouldn't know the cost on painting one, but for that powdercoat I paid right around $160. That was for the frame, subframe, front hubs and rear hubs.

[jim_beam_racer]

thats what i meant powder coat but do you know of anybody with some blue yfz plastics cuz after ice racin i wanna get the frame black and blue plastics and some more **** done

[Dr89]

hey dude looks sweet...really really sweet! what'd you do with the old plastics? may be interested in that exhaust too...if you still have them both pm a package price please!

[Dr89]

haha nevermind...im assuming those ARE the old plastics...the pipe though?
