Been working on a blaster project for my 12 year old. We needed a higher horsepower machine for him to ice race with for this season. Since he's stuck in the 90cc and under class until he's 14. I bought APEX 90cc machines for my other to sons (8 and 11) The 11 year old and the 12-year-old run in the same class, mini quad B. The 11 year old didn't want to have to shift while racing. The 12 year old knew that when I build something... I go all out! So he said he'd wait the 6 months (we started the project in May '09) so long as it was done in time for the race season here.
We bought a roller, that was trashed! The motor was stuck, the axle was bent, the plastic was gone, and the brakes weren't even there. One side, the a arms were bent back 2 inches. It was bad! But it was perfect for what we wanted. Paid the guy $100 for it and drug it home. Found a 98 CR-80 for a donor. The top and bottom end had just been redone and had less than an hour on it. Paid the guy $400 for it. Found a lot on e-bay, Jensen +3 +1 a arms, a brand new set (all 3) Ohlins shocks for it, a +2 swinger, Durablue +4 axle, GYTR sprocket hub and disk brake hub and some other stuff. Bought a new FMF pipe, ASV levers, Brembo rear caliper master cylinder, Brembo front brake res, Wave rotors, new plastic, Hi-Flite made the seat, Pro-Taper bars, Lone Star stem, 2 core CR-80 radiator, Douglas Bead locks, Hoosiers, aluminum bearing carrier, banshee spindles, and a lot more.
A lot had to fabricated... The radiator shroud, radiator mount, pipe mounts, entire rear brake assembly, brake pedal, motor mounts, kicker is a cut ATC 250R and welded, insert bushings in the back of the cr-80 motor, the sprocket came from Sprocket Specialties 52 tooth 428 2 piece split sprocket. The sprocket is mounted on the inside of the sprocket hub. All of the major bolts were made out of stainless steel, swinger bolt, bearing carrier bolts, front and rear shock bolts, motor mount bolts and the front a arm bolts. All of the rest of the bolts are stainless steel Allen head cap screws.
Plastic is Maier blaster in red. The nurf bars are DG race peg nurfs with red webbing. DG front bumper and grab bar. Terry Cable did the cables for the clutch and throttle. The front and rear brake lines are stainless from streamline. Sway bar is from Durablue.
Motor is ported. Running a 30mm Kehein round slide. Barnett Kevlar clutch and heavy-duty springs. Hinson basket.
It sits 4 inches off of the ground and screams!!!!!!!!!!!!! It'll out accelerate and run as fast as my KFX 700.
I did all of the fab work, machining and welding in my shop.
Anyway... Here are some pics of it. Some are at the shop, 2 are at the Ice Races near Woodland Park Colorado (out doors) and 1 is from the indoor I.C.E. (Internation Championship Events) ice races at the Budwiser Events Center Near Fort Collins Colorado.
