Custom steering dampers on a Racing lawn mower.

Whats up!!! i ve been busy as hell lately and haven't had time to get around to yall, but im back and so is the mower, this video or slidshow gives a brief look at my standings. i changed the exhaust to a 90 degree dump that runs along the bottom of the fram rail. the video only shows a little over a foot of piping but it is now all the way down the side step with a 45 degree twist to blow it about 8 plus inch away from the rear tire. the steering dampers i had laying around that cam off a hood system and each one can hold me in the air. however when i have 2 on each tie rod they cancel each other out and make the steering real solid and smooth. the 4 gauge and upgraded grounds make it a snap to start and charge and run the coil strong. this lawnmower has a 100% custom engine/wire harness. the killswitch alone consist of a fuel cut off in the walbaro carb and a ignition kill. the tranny has been modified such as spider gears are welded solid, the housing has been taped and threaded for numerous grease fittngs or nipples, and the shifting fork has been modified internally and externally, the clutch now about 20 pounds of strength and more leverage on the pedal. and i have some bad ass tires in the back that will dent your wallet.

hey i was wondering if you could give me a few ideas on how to turn my gearbox steering into direct steering

[paulbreor]

@licam14 most people seem to bypass the gear setup and lean more toward a pivot style setup, or go kart style.

how well does the dampener work thats an awsome idea i might just try that

[paulbreor]

@fayt926 They give it a power steering feel almost. And image your speeding balls on a trail and you hit a big stick it will jerk the wheel back.
