Off to H-Town....

[Ignore Amos]

Well... its about to happen...she's on the trailer and I'm hoping to get out of here about 6am...it been a fun 4 months of Stock Commander X and I have been thoroughly satisfied with how she runs and handles..but being one that has to take it up a notch- I'm committed.


Its off to the chop shop she goes....

I'm ready to make her a full on racer for BITD and SCORE...and maybe some other series if I can find the time...and money.

I've studied a number of other Can AM builds (not that there are many!) and I have decided to partner up with H-Town Performance in Henderson Nv. They are going have a big part in building a race legal Commander..I will also have a yet to be named suspension Sponsor providing a custom race proven suspension built around and utilizing Elka shocks. Being a total newbie to racing UTV's (thus overly naive) I have also have enlisted a couple of great guys with many years of off-road and UTV racing experience as mentors....this will be dizzying experience over the next few months as we try and see if we can get ready for the next BITD race as well as the SCORE Baja 500 in June. Wish us luck!

With all that being said... I will have all the factory X equipment for sale... If you have PM'd me in the past asking about something... I will try and get back to you..but a reminder wouldn't hurt either... I will be keeping the wheels for a bit as I need them to roll the vehicle around during the build..but they eventually will be for sale.

I will try and do my best to document the build.. lots of sleepless nights to come... Wish us luck! (we're definitely going to need it)

Okay...Dale has been busy with the sawsall...

some pics from yesterday...still a lot of fat to trim off..

another day or two and he can start fabing the cage...

Everytime I see the title of this post I think you are headed to "Hammer Town" for King of the Hammers.

The last picture makes the Commander look like a big ATV.

excellent choice in shops, not only is Dale a great fab guy but pretty cool to too, I choose Dale as well to help build my 912 rotax rhino.

He fabbed all my cage work and bumper.

 

[Goodtimes]

This looks to be good

Making some progress...Dale has started to mock up the frame using steel tubing and tape...just dont know how that tape will hold up in a rollover

With some of the parts showing up this week (hopefully) we can start working on placement of the BEARD Seats...MUZZY exhuast and fuel cell...the progress continues

Thanks Derek...the plan is to pick it up from H-Town on the 22nd.. Been watching your live build with Cory..surprisingly entertaining!

Now the trick will be to figure out who's taking out Jagged X's Class 1 car...errr...XP at the SS300 ...jk JX..... IM jealous of your bad ass build!- we hope to just finish.
