Ok who here is selling the triple E ??
Your a bad boy for saying it comes with and fl350 trans because that's not a fl350 gearbox.

It's been for sale for about a month and a half. The guy won't come down on the price. There is a story behind the car. PPP knows more of it than I do. Owner says he has some heavily modified 350 motors but won't let them go. PPP looked at the car until he found out it wasn't a gen4. I have a couple more pictures of it if anyone wants to see them. Personally the 900$ car in the other one is a better buy. Pick your Engine of choice and go have some inexpensive fun.

Yeah I think so too. The other one at $900 is a steal in my opinion because the shocks are worth that.

That car is nowhere near worth what he is asking. And that isn't a FL350 trans, its the same pile o crap gearbox my old EEE had that kept breaking. Matter of fact, that car is almost identical to my old one.

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.
