ride on rock crawler

Post by suzuki lj80 »

Hey guys

My names Tim, i'm 14 years old which means i'm 2 young 2 drive but that aint gonna stop me.

You see i got this 50cc atv in april and she had some minor injurys (including rolling over 4 times after drifting (thats why i now 4wd) but now she's gone 4 good but i'm thinking of changing all of that.

I thort 2 myself since i love rock crawling y don't i make my pig rooted atv a 125cc rock crawler by instead od having 0 degrees of articulation she will have 45 degrees of articulation but adding 2 front shocks and a custom built rear shock and also a 125cc orion pit bike engine.

i will get all the parts from an orion pit bike, it will be kinda like a ride on rock crawler so PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

Yours Faithfully


Timothy Thornton.

Yeah i agree, why not.

Sounds like a fun little machine.

And yes, make sure you build a frame that will offer the rider some sort of protection against the rocks.

Have you got land to ride it on? If you do you may as well just throw $500 at an unregistered paddock bomb 4x4 :D . And if you dont trash it too much, might be able to get it regoed once you turn 16. Just a thought. A ride on rock crawler would be mad, just involve alot more work than a paddock basher.

There was a thread a few months ago about starting a small comp along these same lines.
