the buggy looks great x-bird! Well the sucky axles they put on the spiderboxes are another reason Godfrey probably went out of business. I didn't expect to have to re-build my axle so soon either, but it caught me by surprise.

Oh yeah, another fix I would recommend is on the swing arm, in the back just under the rear of the engine. there should be a bar that goes across the bottom connecting both sides of the swing arm together, without this tubing, after some hard riding the upper part (where the tensioner is mounted and the arch) will start to bend down, and the bearing hangers and bearings will start to spread out. I noticed when I kept having to tighten up my chain, then it got to the point where I couldn't get any tighter because the engine was sinking down in the back.
