Re: Dwarf car conversion
I think they are tweaked up for the dunes. That looks like the same Dwarf car that Sand Sports did an article on (it and a few others) in Dumont Dunes a while back.
I believe they had just done the simplest things to take them from a typical dwarf car to maxing out what travel they could.

Re: Dwarf car conversion

Re: Dwarf car conversion
The front sand tires from a quad are 3 inches taller than the hoosers on that car. And I plan on putting fox airshocks on the front and rear. I went to the dunes and broke the drive shaft and the video of the car in desert was after 2 days of fixing in camp. Trip sucked but I will have more video near november.
I have been working on the rear 4 link and lots of improvement...... And found some one to hold my camera still while recording....... Looks like some one with parkensons holding my camera. http://www.youtube.com/chikin1974 |

Re: Dwarf car conversion
Well its not. The motor is in the front and the majority of the weight is in front. Basiclly the whole car is 975 pounds... And its 60 from 40 rear. I would have to do alot to make it level. I have seen a few videos of dwarf cars off road..... And unless I spend a bundle.... It wont happen. I can shoot the hill and speed on open flats or long open spaces...... But as for jumping.... It wont be even..... Not much of a problem with me.
I have to get a quad for jumping. Here is the deal..... I raced for a while, And after I went to the dunes..... I never knew how much fun dune people have..... So racing is out. I would rather enjoy myself than race fat fucks for a plastic trophy. Besides that Im like most people and flat broke because of work...... So it will be 2 more months before I get enough to finish 4 link and shocks.... Soon I will be and will post videos..... Seems Im the only person out there filiming a dwarf car at dunes..... So im going to have to make 20 videos and put it out there...... |

Re: Dwarf car conversion
Here is a video i found 6 months ago that made me want to convert my dwarf car into a hill shooter.
2:17 into video is a dwarf car..... If you watch the whole video, The dwarf car is just as fast as a fullsize sand car. Thought it might intrest some people..... The rest of the video is quads with street bike motors...... Enjoy. Last edited by Chikin1974; 09-07-2009 at 08:08 PM. |
