two stroke heaven
i’ve been busy. long time no post…wordpress wasn’t loading right on my computer and all the sudden it’s back so here i am.
hobbit is 98% done. IT RUNS. STRONG!! i had a really weak spark because of a bad coil, so i just decided to bite the bullet and buy the HPI and it’s golden. took it for a run up and down the street and it’s FAST. i’m happy to have the satisfaction after such a long build.
dad had a great idea for adjusting the rear suspension. it was a little too low with the motor mount set back so far, so we made brackets with adjustable height settings for the rear shocks.
moved the rear end up about an inch. perfect.
by tomorrow i’ll have my rear wheel completely rebuilt, laced, and trued, and all i need is a new belt and i’m in blast city.
i need to finish the seat.
in the meantime i’ve been keeping the faith, but translating it into something a liiiitle bit bigger. my new summer love:
1975 RD250. 2 strokes to the wind
moped madness tomorrow at rob k’s ride.
Very nice build. I’ve wanted to do something similar. Those are some radly made brackets. Would your dad make me some ?
Cheers M8
