I got to take it out for a test ride yesterday, and all I can say is WOW! This thing is wicked fast and scary powerful! I don't know why anyone would need to hop up a Predator......this thing scared the livin' Schlitz outa me. :scared: I had no idea of the torque this set-up would produce. If I had one of these when I was a young man, I'm sure I'd been in a lot more trouble.
I was warned that it might be a wheelie machine, but that part is actually very controllable, probably due to the weight of the front end and the wheel base. Rolling along at 10 mph, it will still break the tire loose when I nail it in my stone driveway. The only thing that bothers me, is the vibrations, and I know I can't do much about that. But, I will say one thing for sure....these brakes work EXCELLENT!
I'm pretty happy so far, as I didn't find any other problems. Nothing fell off, no dragging or scraping. The suspension is a little on the stiff side, but I'm confident that a little grease here and there and some break in will help that.
The only thing left I wanted to do is construct a battery box, and after that it's time to tear it down and break out the crayolas.
