Gen 1 and 2 had
the same frame but gen 1 had 250 built
Engine and 250 trans.
The gen 2 had fl350 Engine and coleman trans. Gen 3 had dual a-arms up front with chenowoth trans gen 4 was a little longer and had a-arms all
the way around chenowoth trans and either a pilot Engine or fl350 big bore.
This was from another thread that I had posted on. Easiest way to identify
the first two makes
is both have single A arm setups. Gen1 FL250 Engine. Gen 2 Fl350 engines. Gen 3 and 4 had dual arms front and rear.
The third gen had
the rear shocks mounted inside of
the rear body panels. Like
the one I picked up from Turbo. Gen 4 has
the rear shocks mounted outside of
the body panels. Engines varied as
the first one I am going through originally had a 350 but was swapped to a 400 by someone??? Turbos most likely came with a 350 and
the Polaris 500 was swapped in. From
the info I have found
the gen 3 were wider in
the cockpit and had more wheel travel.(desert racing)Also
the CV
is mounted outboard of
the rear wheels.
The frames are similar, gen 3 also had
the front A arm mounts farther in than
the Gen4.
The rack
is shorter to make up for
the difference.
The Gen 4 cars were primarily for stadium racing. Rusty said
the trans was a Chenowth but I have been told that
is incorrect. I have a picture somewhere of
the trans with
the manufacturers name on it. Supposedly it was from some type of farm equipment and modified for
the cars. I found a 3 year old post on minibuggy where a guy was
selling some extras (transmissions and parts) he had. All he had was parts after all that time. I purchased
the reverse gears I needed from him. He had a complete trans that was modified with a vw rabbit diff. I tried to buy
the trans from him but he would only sell it if I bought
the car it was bolted into.
The cars were built by Triple EEE out of Romana Ca. A friend of mine on Facebook
is friends with
the son
who used to race
the cars his dad built. I haven't spoke to him or his father about
the cars. They have progressed up
the ranks as they were into dwarf cars and now I believe run modifieds or some version of that type of car/racing.
