Yeah I took the pictures with my phone. Most all of the trucks made in this scale are handmade. But there aren't many overall. In germany the do table top trials and those trucks are 1/87 scale. But it just isn't popular here as much i guess do to the work and everything that goes into making...

Here are a few more. This is all 1/16th round tubing and 3/32 square tubing.

I build these 1/64th scale trucks as a hobbie and have recently considered building them as kits and selling them. I have saved up a good bit and have the money for the initial start up for everything. Anyone else on here started a small business? What are some pointers for the initial start up?

Got some mounting tabs in today and set about trying to mount the engine. The only problem is the engine sets off to the left about 3/4 off center. It has to sit this way so the chain wont rub on the frame when i get that all mounted. How much will this affect the handling of the bike

Got the kz440 front forks in this week. Triple trees are at the machine shop getting the rt1 stem pressed in. Tore into the top end of the 500 yesterday. The cam journals are worn pretty bad. What is the best fix for this? Anyone know of any camshafts that will swap with a1980 xr500? The head...

Re: 2003 XR100 Here it is sitting in the frame no mounts made yet just squeezed in there on some wood blocks :) all the progress for tonight gotta get a unibit and start making mounts tomorrow after work.

Re: 2003 XR100 This combo may work a little better1971yamaha 360 frame. Super light weight and more room than the little xr. Tomorrow only one class so we'll have plenty of time to figure out mounting it in there.

Re: 2003 XR100 Got the motor in today. Tore down the bike and set the motors side by side doesn't look like it will fit. My girlfriend decided it will be hers now haha.

Re: 2003 XR100 Back in dirt bike form waiting for the big motor. I also have some kz440 forks coming too. Is the a way to use stock parts to put dual disks with that front end? It has caliper mounts on both tubes.

I have a complete engine coming in the mail. What should i look for on the tear down? Any things to be sure to check or replace? I know these xr motors have a great reputation as being reliable and stump pullers. Any tips and tricks to get the most out of it? I plan on running it hard as its...

Re: 2003 XR100 Got the xr500 engine on the way. Anyone have any buils with these? I would like to know how these motors run and pull. I know these xr are reliable but how is the power? Also is it possible to weld to the aluminum fork tubes? Thought maybe i could get the caliper mounts welded on...

Re: 2003 XR100 That is what i was thinking. How would i go about bigger brakes oncthis? I plan on swapping the front forks and upgrading to a disk to help slow down. Do you think the back brake would be worth the hassle to change? Maybe swap the swingarm to get a wider tire too.
