This is sounding pretty unaminous... All this did was fortify what I was thinking.
Part 2
I have been thinking alot about Motor placement. From what I have been readying lately you prefer to have the buggy slightly tail heavy rather than the opposite. I am pretty sure that I could get the vehicle close to 60/40 or even 55/45 when it come to a front engine build. These number would only apply when it would have a full 35 gallons of fuel and as I burn fuel the ratio changes. To change that I am leading towards a reverse mounted motor setup. This should change my weight to 40/60 or even 35/70 when I talkle that fuel bladder deliema. When doing the desert thing, getting more air than what my loving wife would prefer. I would rather be jumping a 50/50 to 40/60 rig to ensure that I wont be nosing into the next burm! This wont be the best setup for really steep climbs though, maybe I should keep this closer to 50/50 55/45 ish range.
Thoughts?
