its cool and all but if i was going to spend the money i would have figured out a shaft drive setup. one of those chains are going to wrap you in the leg one day.

[TeamGorilla18]

@78MNbronco I did consider that, but converting the chain to shaft, turned out to be a bigger problem than expected (keeping the mud/water out of a custom sealed gearbox, and PRICE) and the power transfer with the chain is slightly better. Chain guard in the works!

There is alot of shit talkers here that probably don't even ride.

@TeamGorilla - That is one bad ass machine. You got my vote.

[TeamGorilla18]

@monelfunkawitz Thanks man!!

[RuralRootsRacing]

do you have any footage of this machine doing a sand hillclimb?

[TeamGorilla18]

@RuralRootsRacing I'll make that happen, keep posted!

[JESSEBOUCHER661]

YEEEEEAAAAAA boyyyy!!!!!! keep it up. fun to watch

[s10kid100]

@monelfunkawitz got my vote to . bad ass

[trd1717]

nice ride man.. what made you come up w/ this concept?

[indecline111]

Can i suggest a tire with half width maybe?

[Josh27m]

@TeamGorilla18 well yeah 2x4 on a 400 wouldnt work that well, i was thinking the 600 would have enough balls to get you through anything but i dont really know much, it might add too much weight, i wanna put a cbr600rr in a crf450 frame, it would stick out the sides a bit but i bet it would be a lot of fun to play around on if it was street legal as well

[TeamGorilla18]

@Josh27m Well man I tried the 2x4 thing when it was still a 400ex, but when I would skim at some of the mud rides, it was so muddy getting around I kept getting stuck! and coming off the line in races was just too slow, nothing but wheel spin.... so theres where the 4x4 idea came from!

[Josh27m]

this thing seems like its incredibly low maintenance and really reliable! i bet u would do a lot better with just 2 wheel drive, or just run nobbies on the front, i want one! but 2x4 cuz u really dont need 4x4 ever if u have a 600 in that light of a machine
