This is the only thing worrying me about the axle... the groove they put in the expanding nut doesn't totally cover the snap ring like it does on the other side. Anyone familiar with this, is it normal? I'm considering having a machine shop make the groove a little deeper for safety sake

Pulling the judder springs seems to have helped but it still isn't perfect. Running the original lever and likely cable too. You might be onto something with the cable being worn/stretched... if I don't upgrade to the raptor set up I'll at least replace the old one

Yeah the hub nuts being rode loose before I got the quad is one of the reasons i replaced the axle and hubs. The splines were just hammered. I've got every bolt I've touched paint marked for exactly that reason, easy to recheck. The axle is a niche adjustable one (same as the tusk/gforce) with...

Also quick side note... aside from a cable which bits and bobs do you need to do the raptor clutch mod? Figure while I'm in there...

It's back on all four wheels till the front stuff comes in. The suspension is buttery smooth and my rear brakes actually stop. This niche axle is weird with the clips, the big nut side especially but so far so good. Next step is to tinker with the clutch again and if I have time this week do the...

Got an ebc carbon clutch, didnt come with instructions so I installed it with the judder springs like factory. It never wants to fully let go and if I adjust it so it does it slips at wot. Gonna take it apart and remove the springs to see if this solves my problems but in the event this clutch...

Damn dude that's alot of engineering! It's cool to see people thinking outside the box as it were. How's the thing ride?

Sadly ran out of time past this point but that's how things go. I'm not in a crazy rush, my a arms are still probably 2 weeks out and I've got some other matinence things to do so I'm taking my time with it. Everything that's supposed to move has grease, everything that's not supposed to move...

The teardown on the rear half has begun. My swingarm bearings were a little out of spec so I decided it best just replace them. The rear axle and hub splines are all wallered out and won't hold tight, the rear brakes mildly exploded, chain and sprockets worn out, and the whole shebang could use...

Welp, been poking around here for about a year already I guess it's time to do the obligatory build thread. It's been coming together in phases, and over a long period of time. I'm now about to enter a pretty substantial bit of matinence and upgrades so I wanted to take a moment to reflect...

I have the niche adjustable width one I'm installing this week. For what it's worth even on its narrowest setting it'll add about an inch on each side

Ooooh yeah lotta info hidden on here that you'll need. What are your plans for the machine? Full factory fresh rebuild or you gonna customize it a bit?

If I remember right the stock set up has that goofy Akerman angle where the outer wheel turns tighter thab the inner. Trying to correct that might mean better front end grip and a better turn-in, but im pretty sure at least for drift cars they prefer the backwards Akerman to get better grip when...

Arm further out also means less steering angle at the wheel and slower steering speed, but should also be easier to turn. Thinking it might be a matter of preference unless the measurements say otherwise. Also, this thread evolved waaay past my brake question which is super cool, but a mod might...

Looking closely at pictures it seems they moved the steering arm part of the knuckle down a bit between the older and newer 450's and both lower still than the warrior.im guessing this has an effect on bump steer? Pics for reference
