I really appreciate all the input gentlemen-I'd never thought a 200cc engine could be so destructive!!!
x-bird-I haven't tried any bushings as the engine in the quad is solid mounted. But i'll give that some thought. I'm still at a loss as to why this ocurrs in the Punisher and not in the Spiderbox- both have almost the same mounting set-up.The Spiderbox is driven alot more than the Punisher too.
roysheepdog- If I can't resolve the design issue I may just round up some chromoly and tig it. I did increase the square side rail tubing quite a bit over the last failure and the round tubing by just a little. More thought and understanding of the motors torque load points is still needed on my part !!!!
Note: when I experiment with these things I'm always trying to simplify the process so others could hopefully near duplicate the modification.
