thanks guys for say'n hi..........

[oxidized_black]

are you the proud owner of a 300ex now?

[Captnfangdango]

yes....still basically a basket case.....carrier is cracked in two places....i tried to heli arc it myself but made it worse.....lol

[oxidized_black]

there's usually alot of work to be done on them, especially the basket case ones. but look at the fun you're having now ....

i'm in the same boat it seems, strip 1 nut, break 3 bolts... a little annoying, but, all fun and not a huge money pit. (so far)

[Captnfangdango]

yea a money pit for sure.......i found a complete swing arm for $75....can't pick it up till tomorrow though......the plastic isn't the best either.....kind of looks like Frankenstein.......lol.............my buddy told me he may have plastic....lets hope......i've always enjoyed working on them......i'm a mechanic by trade......love my job!........i also have a project that is a Banshee frame that i stretched 10" and put a 340cc 1975 artic cat motor on.....i installed the original torq drive and all....it really fast....almost too.....

here's the link to vid of it after first assembly and test....i have it in alot better shape now....

[oxidized_black]

nice !!

i have a polaris 600xlt engine that runs great, but the sled needs a ton of work, and a member on here has put that same engine in a quad and raced it, said it was crazy fast too. maybe i'll look for a cheap frame and chassis as a future project

[Captnfangdango]

that be sweeet......the acceleration is insane to say the least....
