I am looking to upgrade my 7 year old from a Predator 50, and have some basic questions. I have a line on a relatively inexpensive Skyhawk 90 that needs a new top end.
First, it appears that the Skyhawk 50 and 90 had the same frame - is this accurate?
Does anyone know if the 39.2 mm crankshaft (50cc) can be swapped into the 90 cases along with a 47 mm cylinder to build a 70 cc engine?
Assuming I put on +3 +1 A arms, replaced the front and rear shocks, added some wheel spacers to the back, and got the engine back in order, how do these quads do for trail use. Is it still worth taking the time to build one of these, or is it easier just to buy into a DRR or Apex?
Thanks for all responses.
