ATC 70 5 wheeler

[briano]

The box on the back can't be very big any way and it's only for hauling some yard debris once in awhile. I'm thinking one of those plastic or steel mesh wagons would be a good donor for the bed to keep it light weight. As for turning I can always adjust air pressure in the rear tires for more down pressure on the front tire. For more front tire pressure I could let some air out of the front set of tires and put more in the rears, I guess I'll have to wait and see. I'm waiting on a collared washer for behind the sprocket hub, an air filter and handle bars.

that thing looks sweet! i wanna try it with a bigger trike. may be a few years before itll happen though.....

yeah the 125trx motors would bolt in. exactly the same as the 125m motors everyone swap in to them, just with hi/rev instead of hi/low..

Wrong. The TRX motor is not a laydown motor. It wouldn't even be close to fitting.

[Jon Boy]

the 84-85 trx motors aren't laydowns? i think you might look again there fabio.
funny this looks just like my 125m motor

84-85 is a laydown motor, it is not a "bolt in" but can be made to fit very easily. Watch they have weak transmissions so get one that shifts, I am putting on in a 70 now.

[fabiodriven]

I stand corrected Jon. I've never seen an 84-85 TRX 125. I thought they only made them when they started using the the second-gen ATC 125M standard configuration motor. Sorry!

[Jon Boy]

no biggie, we're always learning which is always good.

My Klt 250 is chain driven with a lockable differential on the axle. If this type of axle is used on a dual axle setup, it may be easier to steer when both axles are unlocked. And if you wanted to show off your trike's traction, lock em in!

[Jon Boy]

i think that would work to help turning.
just an idea on the wheels contact with the ground kasey mentioned. what if the rears were lifted up a touch? think of an argo 8x8. then have your air pressure in the front 2 set so the rear 2 are just barely touching like briano means? probibly not the right fix though really, but i imagine it would help against tire wear.
