I currently own 6 atc70's and recently picked up my first trx70. Looks like many parts are similar and swap. The trx70 chain tensioner is shot and chain is sloppy. I much prefer the sprocket type like on the atc. Has anyone tried swapping and do they fit? I know I'm just being lazy and I could go pull one off one of my atc but they look like mounts the same and would save me some work if I could just eBay one off an atc and replace rather than strip my own. Also looking for plastic? Cheapest I've found is Amazon at $400 for the set. I would rather stay with Oem but eBay has very few listings for the trx. Any help is appreciated.

I rebuilt 2 TRX70s over the last few years.

A lot of parts look the same but aren't.

The chain tensioners are different but interchange. I usually just cut off the sprocket and stud, then drill and tap and install a normal eBay chain roller.

Airboxes look the same but aren't.
Rear brake parts look the same but aren't.
Skid plates look the same but aren't.

Maiers are the only readily available plastics but aren't cheap.
I was able to find OEM plastics for both. One was cheap but cracked. The other was not so cheap but less than Maiers. Patience
I still have a set of black rear fenders for the TRX70.
Somebody was making fiberglass fenders at one point but I can't find my link...

Potty Quad 1 - 125cc Loncin, e-start, reverse, pitbike pipe, tall BMX bars, rotated/lowered footpegs. This was a great camp quad.

Potty Quad 2 - mostly stock except DRATV 88cc cylinder & piston. Can't find a build thread - might not have done one.

Thanks, that's a ton of info and help. I know there is a guy out of Australia I believe that does glass fenders and I may go that route since I want some for my k0 and k1. Thanks for the help and I may hit you up again if I run into anything else.

I saw him on eBay, could have even been Europe? But he had k0 k1 and trx glass fenders for sale but shipping was pricey. Wish someone here in USA would make some.
