full tube chassis rzr

[kpclarke]

I broke my rear suspension tabs off the frame over new years so I was going to just fix it but once I got it all taken apart I realized that I wont be happy with it so I am building a whole new chassis. I know I cant race in any pro class but I can race in the dsr1 class if i want. that is my goal for a motor in the end anyways. I will be posting pics as I go.

you should extend frame if your going that far give you more passenger room

 

[kpclarke]

yeah I did stretch the frame. the wheel base is 103". it doesn't look like it because when I built the suspension I added 4" to the front arms and 3 1/2 to the rear arms so the chassis is 7 1/2 inches shorter then a rzr 4 but I will have the same wheel base.

here are a few more pics of the rear suspension mounts

I streched mine to 95" wheel base. what eng are you going to run?

for right now I just want to build it back up and drive it. I need to save some money to do the 1000cc. I haven't looked into the different engine to much. what is the best way to go? I was looking at the Yamaha just cuz it is so common and easy to get my hands on. for the gear box I like the jeffco but a bit pricey. and then the hubs. I don't want to do a micro stub but I don't think anyone other then gear one makes floater hubs but I am not sure on any of this.

here is the front suspension. 17.76" of travel, almost 72" wide, front steer, and I replaced the stock ball bearing set up with a custom tapered bearing hub and spindle.

I got the seats mounted and the engine mocked up.

looking nice. when i did the the stand up uniballs for suspension i couldn't get a good steering radius. so just to let you know go bigger then you think.

 

[kpclarke]

Yeah I already ran this supsension but with a different spindle. I got 32 degrees on the inside tire so that is the same ad stock.
