First test run, Mowinmachine's Grants FX build.
« on: March 30, 2008, 02:14:46 pm »
  After working out a few kinks-namely some engine and chain tension problems- I finally got the Grants to run pretty well. The carb still needs some tweaking. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the handling. The thing turns on a dime, and is pretty freakin' fast. It feels like driving around in a lawn chair.

Yes, its pavement. Friend of mine works at a shop that repairs buses, so I was out on the huge parking lot they have since all the buses were gone. That was bad on the tires though, so I'll be driving on dirt from here on out.
