Hi Joyner Gang

New to the Joyner group. I'm making long travel for the 1100 Sand viper. I'm trying to make something that will work as well or even better than the RZR Rino etc. At this time the front has 14" travel rear has 16" of travel. Still developing the suspension. comets are welcome. Ask questions and I will get back to the Forum

We now have been running this set up for a while still adjusting the spring rate and shock dampening getting closer. At this time we are at 100LBS primary spring and 100LBS secondary in the front and rear. With this suspension setup you won't spill your cocktail .

Correction Our first attempt was 100 and 100 springs. We are now using 100 and 175 lb spring  front and rear with a combined spring rate of 65lbs. The front weight is 350LB the rear is 600LB dead lode.

I think going from 100 to 250 (71lb spring rate)  will be a little harsh of a spring rate change. We go from a 100 lb spring to a 175 spring ( 63 spring rate) with a primary  spring stop on the shock.  with the front only weighing 275 with rider per side a nominal spring rate of 50 lbs + is about right.  The shocks we are using have a 12" travel using about 5" compression  for ride height, wheel travel is about 14". Shock dampening is a big part of how the shock will work. Right now we have the shocks set up with very low damping in both directions. we are using a micro cellular bump stop of about 2.5 ".  We don't jump the bug just riding over desert terrain. We still need to do more testing in large bumps. At this time the 12" woops are not a problem.

I will call tomorrow after work, trying to get off before 1 with good enough luck. However I’m wondering.... I live in Southern California, and I drive the Mojave Deserts pretty frequently (at least a cruise a day.) every once in a while I like to drive her pretty hard tho. Is there any suspension that’ll make roller sections and dips/washouts similar to a trophy trucks suspension? Straps and all? If so, estimated what would something like that cost me? And around what price range are your Electric Steering and Suspension/long-travel kits. Sorry to ask on the forums. Been a pretty busy morning here at the shop. Private message me if possible with pics and prices or possibly direct me to your website?  BTW I just checked out your pics, the sheet fab is nice man, I just finished mine as well and color matched everything, I was also heading in the direction of adding another foot or so to the length of the frame nothing too custom. Just grinding down the welds to the firewall plate and moving the rear back together as a whole, then just reweld the plate after. Thoughts?

Nice biggie  we are at the shop to day if you want to talk about your project. You can call anytime between 9:00 to 6:00 

Chris

I’m usually at work 6 days a week from 8 to 8 but hopefully it’ll be changing soon, just need a general price range and I’ll probably just buy then and have shopped if possible

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      I have a Coleman Outfitter 550 purchased in January 2022 that runs and operates pretty well.  65 hours on it so far.   It is a work vehicle for my 10 hilly acres with two 1 acre woods and 5 acres of "lawn".  The rest is under a lake. 
      My parking brake does not seem to have any grip.  It worked when new but after a month or so, it is just almost useless.     I press the parking brake pedal hard until it stops. Still, it won't hold even on slight inclines.   I don't see the caliper move as I press the brake pedal down.  There seems to be plenty of pad left on it and the rotor is shiny as if it is rubbing a little when applied, but not enough to stop it from rolling. 
      Any thoughts on possible causes?

      2010 500 - New Carb- Hesitation
      By Buddee
      Put a new carb on the 500 to replace the leaking OE one.  Machine idles fine and mid and top end runs great.  It tends to have a hesitation right from the start - bottom end.   Thinking it may be the air/fuel screw??  I didn't do anything with the carb out of the box and is it direct replacement for my machine.  Of interest is the manual choke doesn't seem to work very good now.... wonder is it getting too much air?
       
      Any help appreciated!
