The ? Is since the buggy can have the engine move back or forwards can it share same starter box as the truggy version

Yes. The engine placement and adjustment is identical between the two vehicles. I'm running a buggy and truggy off of the same box. You will need to adjust the box when you change the engine position.

What I meant is can you have same position so you don't have keep change it all time

You would only need to change it if the engine positions are different. So if you are running buggy forward and truggy rearward, you would either need to change the starter box pegs or get another box. If you are running them both forward or both rearward, they line up exactly on the same box. If you change from front to rear, you need to change the pegs.

Hey danny will this car come with a 4-shoe clutch or a 3-shoe clutch i prefer the 4 shoe because it helps smooth out engines and overall smoother and also what size clutch bearings?

stipres 06-19-2013 04:03 PM

It will be a four shoe, clutch bearing sizes are to be announced...:)

4-shoe clutch, adjustable springs, etc. 5x13x4 inner bearing and a 5x11x5mm outer bearing. We used a larger outer bearing to increase durability. Most clutches use a 5x10x4 bearing which must be changed very frequently. They are required for cars that use a 13t clutch bell.

But if you are running 14t or higher (14 or 15 is preferred on our buggy), there is no reason not to use a larger bearing. So we designed new clutch bells that can take advantage of this. The 5x11x5 will last a lot longer than a 5x10x4 and they aren't as susceptible to failure since there is a lot of extra support. We would still suggest checking them often and even changing them out regularly, but we think there will be far less DNF's due to bearing failure.

We're still angling for Fall 2013.

Perhaps in the future. After working with the vehicle the last few months, we haven't seen a real need for it. The 4 engine screws are easily accessible and the engine can be removed without the mesh changing. Still, there could be some engine heads that make it a little more of a task. We're hoping there will be good 3rd party support for the car and perhaps one of the aftermarket companies will produce something. Thanks.
