[Complete] Snapp Dragin RER Death Trap [2018 Build-Off Entry]

Yup, throaty like I figured.

Still not as rumbly as i wanted but it will do

Nice sound! That frame looks so small compared to the engine. You need to Re-name this thing "DEATH TRAP!" Re-name it that, finish it, and I will vote for it!

Hmmmm I am considering it..

So that's how high my arse is going to be off of the ground ....... Re naming it death trap is very likely. I did put my 42 inch axle in instead of the 36 inch for more stability .
4th

Hmmm...I like that diesel exhaust thing.  Would sound good on the John Deere.  Chooched out a bit of smoke, too.

Yeah, it had some oil in the cylinders from the last time i flipped it . and i havent got it warmed up long enough for it to burn all out. ( but it looks cool )

haha yah I know.  I once accidentally got some oil on the exhaust and it looked awesome.

Oh , do you know how to change the thread title? i cant figure out how to do that

Yeah, just go to the first post, hit "Edit" and modify the title box.

oh , well THATS easy! lol

LOL, yes it is.

Well at least it was easy enough for me to do once someone told me ....

This thing is looks really cool in the video and definitely deserves the name deathtrap

I changed the name ..... so does that mean i get your vote?

Lol. It is going to be a good vote this year.

That’s correct, finish this thing and I will vote for it.

Ok. It will get finished. I have some more ideas to play around with on it too.

OK, where is the seat going to be?

Well I just got 2 peerless 700's so I might swap out the foote for a 700 so I can make an inline shifter and have the seat right over the gear box but I might want to use the 700s on some other projects.

Well I did not get as much done the first month of the build off that I wanted to but I still made progress .
Got the rear end suspended , and engine and gear box mounted. I plan to get the front end on the ground ( literally ) soon and have a rolling frame. Seat mounting is still "up in the air" as the weight distribution worked a little to well.

Still looks like a good start.  Looks to me you got a lot accomplished the first month.  As the evenings get longer next week and it starts to warm up.  It will be easier to do more!  Good work.

take your time figuring out the weight distribution. I like the start you have there.

Thanks! Yeah........ The front doesn't like the ground

Well that looks pretty awesome! There staying!!!!
