After driving the Drakart in the driveway I found that my left shoulder does not want to do this anymore. I tore the rotator cuff over a year ago and it is just getting better so I am going to let both of them go and find a new way to play. Being in a wheelchair I cannot afford to trash my shoulders.

The LT 500 Pilot is very solid, all done at ATV Racing. It will come with dirt as well as sand tires on beadlock wheels.

The Drakart is a 2003 with the Sprint Turbo motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) in it. I have a pilot steering wheel in it now but it would be easy to convert it back to foot pedals if you prefer. It has the dirt tires on it as well as two sets of Sand tires on wheels. Lots of extras for the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )). Basically everything that could be unbolted from another motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) was and I have it all in boxes. I have not driven it but my boys took it around the property yesterday and had a ball. All looked good. I put a 2 to 1 steering quickener on it for the pilot steering wheel which made it turn harder. My shoulder did not like it but the boys were fine. They both said it steers harder than the pilot though. It would be easy to take the quickener back off and just run it without the quickener. The Pilot steering wheel turns farther on a drak than on a Pilot so it is nicer to have the quickener on it.

I am not sure about prices so I am going to ASK 7500 for the pilot and you can make offers on the drakart. I have about 8500 in the Drak with the Pilot steering wheel and quickener on it.

PM me if you have interest or my Email that I check daily is Spcled1@aol.com

I just bought a power steering unit for my Drak and just had my shoulder fixed too. You can steer it with one finger and race it with one arm out the window like a cruz to the beach.

That's a beautiful Drakart, man! If I could shed 3 FL350R's and a LT500R Zilla, I'd drive out and pick 'er up with cash-in-hand. =(

The thing to do is just take the quickener off and run the pilot steering wheel without it. I would not get full turn without going past half but I never had problems with my other draks set up this way.
I just think I have other things keeping me busy and I lose all control when I am in the sand.

I've always wondered about them drakarts. Never seen one in WA. Looks like what Honda should make today instead of the big turd.

My Drak is at King Shocks. They took it in and are fitting new front shocks and raising the rear mounts and fitting new shocks there as well. The power steering is the same one that's on slickricks lt pilot that rusty has. The mount plate will weld right to the back of the steering dash. Kind of like it was made for it. Ill post pics when i get it back.

I have a steering quickner on my Revolt. Sort of makes the steering a bit stiff. I will probably work on trying to make is more fluid and smooth. Sort of feels like there might be a bind somewhere.

You need any help wrenching stuff Ed, just ask. I can be there in 2 hours. You will have to take that ugly Donko flag off that beautiful Pilot first. :-)

Took Pilot out of garage today. First time in over a year. Just like all pilots, fired right up and ran great.. Spunky Pilot. Should have the Drak Steering back together tonight also.

I am going to try and make the April trip some of you guys are talking about at Little Sahara. Drakman may be able to make it also if the 20th -24th are still the dates.

That figures, thought you guys were having more snow? I didnt think it would sell until warmer weather, invite the new owner to the dune trip?

I did ask him to come but he says he is in deep enough water with his wife already.. The wife did see pictures of the Drak though and wants first shot at it when I am ready to sell.. I told her I had two trips planned, we'll see how I feel about it after those trips.
