    I'm hoping to be in the market soon for a sand car. Doing some research I came across your tech 3 video and I followed the rabbit hole to this car it looks amazing! are there any other brands you can recommend? My future car will live at Glamis hoping to ditch the SXS soon looking for a duner car that can eat up the whoops too. I could careless for the drag racing I do love jumping but nothing crazy.

    Nice video. You hinted that the 500 is more wheelie happy than your 300. I know it's been a couple years but how do you rate the 500 vs the 300 on the singletrack trails (i.e. seat height, weight, etc.)?

    @LiveLikePete22 күн бұрын

    @@corpeningd honestly they perform dead even on regular singletrack. It's just a matter of preference. If it's gnarly I prefer the 300 but the 500 is a great all around bike that can handle tough or flow singletrack or even highway. 300 is a bit lighter and nimble and it shows in the rough stuff, but that doesn't mean the 500 is cumbersome at all.

  • @LiveLikePete
    @LiveLikePete2 ай бұрын

    I've never wanted the bikes mounted outside for several reasons. (Theft, road grime, weathering, u can only mount 1...) There has never been a problem with fuel smell in the van from gas cans or the bikes fuel tanks. Both are basically fully sealed. Just cap the tank vent on the bike and no carburetor to worry about. If I left them in there overnight in the summertime there may be a very slight odor, but the ceiling vent fan takes care of it and it's also gone as soon as you open a door. We're talking super slight too. I rarely ever leave them in there overnight when it's hot out anyways. The build has worked great for us. Thanks a bunch! 🙌
