Well guys... I have some very bad news While practicing my staging and launching this afternoon, my axle snapped :no: I suppose it was because I got the tire VERY sticky, but I really didnt have a choice as it just spins if I dont warm it up Axle

I have decided to cut up the exhaust and go another route with it today. Mainly because it was way too loud to ride. Everybody looked when I came screaming down the road @60mph :s:s:s:s So now I have manufactured a flange for a motorcycle muffler I had laying around. The muffler is in VERY rough shape, but it sounds good so I will use it anyways. Or maybe my $400 D&D muffler. Still not sure yet. Stay Tuned :clap::clap::yay::clap::clap:

Since my buddy has been having a lot of GO FAST parts overnighted from china, I have to make mine a little more stout so I can atleast hang with his. So I put in 12.8 and 9.8g rollers in and the take off and top end is satisfactory for the time being.
Hopefully I will have DR.SCOOT over to make some videos of it!

Well guys.... inuyasha...Jim...Bong...Scootnwinn I have some very bad news. I am truly very sadly depressed to state that my stator has finally went out. It hasn't been charging the battery ever since my wire harness shorted out when I was welding the motor mount in. But now it won't even run.
So due to this depressing heart wrenching devistating circumstances, I took my wire harness back apart to rewire it since I would have to take it apart to splice in the wires for the stator anyways.
I moved basically everything right by the battery. The CDI, Rectifier, Starter Solenoid as well as the Platinum High Performance 10mm wire Drag Racing Coil, in hopes that it will loo cleaner once its back together. I did remove a heck of a lot more wires than I thought was even in there. The grounds were hideous and made tons of loops and it was just truly an eyesore to the ped world. It still is ugly BUTT I believe once iTape up the wires, that they will indeed, look okay.

True ! I believe there is a 6 pole stator in it now but im not 100% sure. I am going to run an 8 pole and pray for the best. Maybe it will make a little more power now that it will have a working charging system lol I so badly want to get a vid of this thing on here!
