Might measure the bolt spacing, back spacing and that might open up what models will fit....

Always could look at something like Paulson wheels who can make steel stock car type wheels to spec and prices aren't bad. Would make replacement easier...

There's other wheel MFG out there but I ran theirs on my Dwarf car and held up good....

AH, the good ole dwarf car days lol, have rolled my fair share of those little dudes..........................and can hear alot less because of'um lol! The joyner is alot quieter in comparison. We still have two cars left,motors, jigs, and spare parts, kinda miss it but don't miss all the cryin and whinnin and people wantin to fight GEEEZZZZZ! Nice to be in a sport where all get along and help one another and at the end of the night, we all sit down and talk about the evenings happenings, kinda like the "i caught a bass this big stories" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta agree with ya... I miss racing, wish they had a series like yours out here....

The BITD and Others are fairly expensive to run.

Hey, why not build a longer travel Dwarf for your series ????

Heh, talk about an E-ticket ride....

there actually is a a x-dwarf car on you-tube that has been converted to a long travel sand car, look it up not sure what the name for the video is but it's there. BITD series is some serious cash there no doubt, but there is a need for all the utv's such as ours to have a place to race, the guy that brought our class together built it so that the hobbiest could afford it to the serious with different classes to work with all budgets. As more people are learning of our type of racing more are coming..............so as the old saying goes....................build it and they will come, you guys can build your own series like ours here i promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know a few years ago there was some China buggy racing in so California and Northern Arizona.

I guess I need to search around some and see if they're still out there....

      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      2004 250DL DIRT DEVIL. Hey y’all, I already know this is a long shot. But I am looking for a the “prick gear” assembly that makes reverse work for my external reverse gearbox. OEM PN D250.08.103 and its assembly. I bought the kart as a basket case, but I saw that the reverse box was present so I was optimistic.  Upon starting working on the buggy I realized there was a block off plate in plate of there the normal gear would be. If my understanding is correct that means the transmission no longer has reverse gear. I figured it’s just a standard bevel gear and I could probably find a gear to make work, but I don’t want to spend the time making all the other housing parts to shim the gear perfectly. Has anyone spare parts, or figured out an aftermarket solution from McMaster? I already know it’ll be a challenge to get this box to be happy again, but figured I would ask

      I got the fronts adjusted.  I'm trying to raise the ride height in the rear, but my spanner wrench keeps slipping.  Is there an easier better way?  It's like there's too much pressure working against me to be able to twist the height adjusters.  How can I relieve that tension to make them easier to turn?

      I bought a 2017 Stampede 900 last fall that was new, old stock with less than 5 hours on it thinking that I would be getting a relatively trouble free UTV as compared to buying a used Polaris or CanAm, or Honda, etc. It's been a little quirky, but reliable. What I thought was just a minor issue with this model, the difficulty in shifting between R, N, L, H, etc., was just a characteristic of this model is now a big problem. I had to climb two very steep trails to get to the upper meadow of our hunting property, which seemed to stress the UTV more than usual since I was carrying some lumber to work on a platform for a hunting blind, and when I went to shift into park, I felt something give and it would not shift out of low, but it did move up into high gear.  I couldn't get it to shift at all at that point and the shifter felt mushy for lack of a better word. I was able to get it down to the lodge and when I investigated, I discovered that the straight, metal tube portion of the shift cable had bent to almost 90 degrees (see pics). I'm positive that it had already had some deformation that had happened previously and it had the right amount of resistance to bend to the point where it was unusable. 
      I have two questions:
      1. I suspect that there must be some other issues that makes this UTV difficult to shift, and I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if someone could enlighten me on what could cause this to be difficult to shift?
      2. Have any of you had this happen and if so, how difficult is it to replace the shifter cable?
      Any other advice is welcome, this is the first UTV that I've ever owned, so I don't know much about working on these or maintaining them. I'm relatively capable when it comes to working on my own vehicles in general, and I'm not afraid to take things apart and get my hands dirty.
      Thanks in advance for any insight, I'll be traveling most the day so I won't get a chance to look at replies until this evening.

      Hit a rock last weekend and trashed my front A-arm and axle on my Outlander. I’ve been looking around for reliable sources for replacement components. A lot of listings online look a bit hit or miss, so I’m trying to figure out what’s actually worth trusting.
      Has anyone here had good luck with dealers or sites where you can buy genuine Can-Am spare parts online without worrying about quality issues or fake OEM stuff? I’d rather pay a bit more and get the right fit than deal with problems later.
      Any recommendations appreciated.
