35:26 I dont know how you managed to avoid a crash there. How did you finish?

Good job last time I tried I got same point your 2nd try was and looped a 4 day old bike over my head and it landed on the rocks behind me and bounced almost all the way to bottom of the hill .Haven't been back since . Come on back got several new trails .

Wouldn't it been easier just make your shaft the same as the old engine

Just did a Duromax 440 swap on a 1999 EZGO workhorse this summer, the old engine was seized. these Duromaxes only make around 15hp stock (the 18hp is miscalculation of RPM X Torque). I'm running a stage 3 engine with a mikuni carb valve springs and a bigger cam. i have 23 inch tires and it went 26 miles per with the stock 12.44:1 gears and the engine at 5800 rpm. after the 8:1 gear swap (best thing to ever happen for this cart). it goes 35-40 mph with no loss in acceleration. These druromaxes are much more stout compared to predators and have better tolerances. i have taken this engine over 6000 rpm stock before the stage 3 install and kept it 5500 for minutes before without any negative effects. I still have the same problem as you however, where it is just so damn loud, I put a tiny 80cc moped silencer with an exhaust hole the size of dime and it did not quiet down a bit. one thing you did that i wish i did was keep the stock clutch, I went with a 780 series comet and it has caused me many issues because i'm still using the stock driven. But overall this is an awesome build you made and from what I experienced the more power and performance based items you put on your cart the less drivable it becomes at normal golf cart speeds. would love to see more people doing 440 swaps as they are so much cheaper than a V-Twin swap.

You ain’t shy are ya? You have fantastic vision with a 10 pound sack of nuts. This was the best race I’ve watched yet. Watch out Billy Bolt….. Rick Burton’s wide open

Nice build! How has the floor held up after a season of racing?

Hey man, love the video. Wondering where your located? And maybe if u wana make some money helping a fella out to get his up and running if u have time! Haha My stocker is running good but would be nice to have more speed and grunt… Best video I’ve seen by far. I have the tools but not the skill to finish out the build… well I probably have the skill…. But would be a lot nicer to have a build “teammate” it’s easy for me to get distracted!

What do you pull that with? I assume the upgrades added a lot of weight? I’m in the market for a trailer but my Tacoma can only handle so much lol.

Looks like a lot of fun 🤜

FYI The foam I used from the Shoria kit is 3/8” thick.

Did you put a key in the clutch adapter into the key way for the crank shaft?

I will forever have nightmares of this race

What beastly conditions! I do believe they've added your race here is a new entry under the definition of "glutton for punishment". Great mud racing!

My hat is off to you sir! Amazing riding and endurance. I race GPs here in California, no where near your pace, and they're decently long. But I'd say our roughest sections are like the easiest parts of this race. I doubt I'd last 15 minutes before I had to resort to slow trail ride pace, or maybe just pull over period. It's enlightening to see someone with such skill. Thanks for posting.

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t you running the transmission in reverse to go forward because of the clockwise rotation of the factory engine? If that is the case how is the trans and holding up? I’ve read on forums that people say the gears won’t oil properly running in reverse but I never saw someone say they had tried the swap and it worked.

Just tipping my toes in the woods racing scene, but how you spot those hot lines and take them so quickly and confidently is mind blowing. Also was the delayed start intentional?

Tough race !

Old guys ride a wide bike

Has to be so frustrating catching the next row as soon as you jump back in the woods. Your haulin major tail looks like a riot

Great riding guys, video don’t really show how steep some of those hill are, be safe and keep the shiny side up.

That was a fast pace. Touché

Can you tell me why a taperd sleeve had to be used please

Your a badass!!!

Animal! 🤘🏻 what bike are you on here?

As stated many times below, this is as good of a vid as it gets. This is guy is a monster.

What bike do you race?

I've ridden this trail both directions several times the most recent being 10 years ago and the camera definitely doesn't do the steepness justice. It also looks like the has been a lot of erosion since I was last there and is a lot more rocky now and makes me wanna go give it another try.

Killer video and very impressive riding , your line choice is second to none, and ability to choose when to pass and when hold up is spot on. Just a jealous old B rider here, but happy for you, Braap On!

very nice! hit this trail last week on my sherco. Camera does not do a justice showing those rock faces. Give my video a watch. Would be pretty impressive to clean this line in one go.

I got 2

Great help. I was wondering about the crank shaft cut. But now Im brave

Just got back from wv ridin this. Go pro doesn’t do a justice on how gnarly this thing is

I'm curious to know how you did the gas lines, from stock tank, to the cart tank?

Excepert riding nice

That is narley trail

I've been on rock house trail but not that looked like it was a bike trail

🤙 are you wearing arm / elbow guards?

Another great ride Rick👍Did you recover from COVID prior to racing this event?

I just read your other comment from Amazon. Thank

Hello, can you tell me where you bought your taper kit from?

Nice pass for the lead

Do you have to run the selector in reverse to go forward? I am in the process of doing this with mine and that is what I have to do. Top speed is very low

Nice bike

Nice bike

Hey Rick, Been spotting your vids a while. What place were you in at the end of this video ? Curious.

Another great ride Rick!

Quads and SxS had it nice and polished up for us!

Great ride Rick!!

Even your dismounts are graceful Rick! With age comes wisdom so I hope

Rick you’re a machine smooth as ever! Thanks for the taking the time to share
