[400exRacerX]

Yeah, its actaully pretty fun, and also a learning experience. Now I'll know exactly how my quad is assembled. Everything was cleaned and all bearings were replaced. I got the motor, oil system, shocks, a arms, front brakes, and steering stem on so far. I'll have to get so closer pics of my frame, it has been modified alot, it gussetted at all the stress points and pieces of chromoly have been welded in. It should hold up this season.

Heres what it looks like as of tonight (christmas),

I see a spot you all missed,,gonna have ta start over I guess..:D

No really I see it...:D Looks good man,,I think my frame project will be this time next year,,maybe.:confused:

I'm thinkin about having houser racing setup his yamaha 400 hybrid frame to hold a honda 416 motor and be done with it,,,or then again I may be day dreamin..:huh

[400exRacerX]

If I was going to a aftermarket frame I would definatly go for a complete lobo chassis. When I got my frame powdecoated and gussetted by my buddy (Pro level Racer) Buckley, I seen one of his four 250r's and it had a complete lobo chassis on it and I was drooling over the quality of design.

Yeah and Doug Roll has stock in vaseline too,,if ya didn't know that..:eek:

I seen last night in the new dirtwheels that houser is making frames that hold the new cr450f motor,,now that's interesting isn't it????

what happended to it?Did you wreck it?or cleaning it?or what?:confused:

[trx400ex]

are you gonna race it in the nationals?

[004exkid]

What color plastic are you going to be using on your quad ? The yellow frame looks good, what color and brand is the paint ?

[worm]

thats not paint its powdercoating

[004exkid]

Sorry, the thread didnt say what was used on the frame so what color of powder is that ? Is that better worm ?

[400exRacerX]

Its sunburst yellow powdercoat.

[stevengates45]

how much u give for gettin it powdercoated??

[400exRacerX]

It costed me $190.00 to get the frame and sub frame powdercoated and the frame gussetted. I got a good deal because I knew the guy that did it.

[400exRacerX]

Here's the most recent pic as of last night (new years day),

[004exkid]

Looking good, what color plastic are u going to be using ? Im dropping mine off at the powder coater tomorow. Im thinking yellow frame and swingarm black hubs and sub frame with yellow plastic. Is your swingarm powdercoated black ? hard to tell by the pic.

[400exRacerX]

I am going to run red stock race cut plastics on it with no headlights. The swingarm is stock and isn't powdercoated. I am right now investing into a digital camera because I hate the quality of my pos polariod.

[mrusk]

thanks

matt

And replaced most of the bearings and seals on the frame, brakes, axle, and steering stem. And I also added close to 2k worth of mods....
