took this thing for its first ride last night rode for the longest ever 30min lol.. still gotta work on the brake system think im gonna convert over to a motor cycle brake system to have easier time controlling it, i already have 2 matching calipers just need to figure out 2 good master cylinders to setup and fit.

anyone have any suggestions on what to do so i can upgrade to 1 1/4 axles to seal water out? the last pics i posted are suppose to be the water seals but... theres no way to run an 1 1/4 axle thru them

Argo use a lip seal and bearing carrier for their older machines with 11/4"axles. Most dealers replace them and you can get them cheep. Replace the lip seals and you have nice upgrade.

im kind of passed this point... and decided its not gonna be that big of a deal to stay out of lake type water.. but by chance you have any links or anything so i could get an idea what your talking about
thanks!
