first test ride, and no parts fell off Who hooo!!

[john willhoite]

Do those have to run against the Apex 250s?

[gistmarrs]

Nice looking quad there Mark. It will be a shame to see it dirty.

By the way, what pressures are you running in the Evols? I couldn't get Coultin's dialed in and took them off for now.

Any insight into motor mods? Coultin's Raptor sure doesn't have the power that I expected for a 250.

[raidernut]

No they have seperate classes. The Production class is for air cooled. There are two classes available to run just the raptor 250's and one class where the raptor 250 and apex 250 run together.

Get me a length on the tie rods, and a carbon fiber set will be on the way!

Looking Great, ours is just about ready to, just waiting for the engine to get back from Dee at Rage, should be getting first of the week, then its just a matter if dropping it in and bolting up the plastics. We have a while to go before we race though, first one isn't till end of March, Brandon hates winter..........LOL.....
Tell Buddy Brandon and I said good luck this year, hope we was able to help you out with the set up on the floats, once you get them set Buddy will love them, Brandon won't even think of a differant shock, LOL.

Ya'all are killing me here...I wanna build a 90 mod out of this chassis...
BTW: I figure that if the Cobra mini quad comes as a rolling chassis that the owner is allowed to put any Cobra engine in it and be production legal then why can't we put a Yamaha 250f engine in this Yamaha chassis and race Schoolboy Jr. Production class?????? :devil:

[desratt]

you'll have to race with no engine..

[bignasty]

Sweet bike Mark you guys did good on it. Good Luck next weekend...
