    Belly lift conversion

    A buddy's new stinger belly lift (maybe 2 years old) had the lift bend on the belly run. Pretty crazy considering that's what it is designed for. He hauls two sandcars (one up top). He had to DIY and weld in some new thicker square tubes down the belly lift and try to straighten out the bent...

    ID this carb?

    I did tear it all down, but this was a year ago and then just parked it. I will have to open up this carb and post pics here for those who know more than I do. I'd like to get it going to bring it out on the trips.

    Do You Use GPS/Navigation In a Sandcar?

    I have an older Lowrance HDS5 baja, and use it a lot. I wouldn't build a new car without one or some sort of GPS. I lead a lot, and when we do our morning go fast runs, it is very easy to get turned around and not know where you are at. I mainly use it as a point of reference to know where we...

    last time around I gave it a good cleaning with a carb cleaning kit, and carb spray. Fired up quick, revved and idled perfect... just kept pouring fuel out onto the floor through the overflow line.

    ID this carb?

    Can anyone ID this carb or guide me in the direction of a rebuild kit? I’ve cleaned it and everything runs good, but the float bowl is staying stuck open and fuel constantly pours out of the tube while it’s running. It’s on an older XR50 with a 110 kit.

    Sand Rail Insurance

    Unless you’re running a monster Manx w/ a VIN, that sounds ripe for a denied claim of a situation ever arises.

    New Sandcar mfg?

    Season pass now available (ASA)

    Got mine at the show and paid cash to avoid the $10 CC fee. Does the ASA actually get a cut if purchased through them vs getting it anywhere else?

    SSSS 2024 thread

    Brenthal car had a ton of room in the backseat. Billet lower arms land even part of the rear trailing arm. I bet the thing works great, but they should maybe offer another option for the body. The body at the sand show looks like over grown SxS mixed with a buckshot.

    13" vs 14" steering wheel

    is there any pro / con over one or the other? Current steering wheel in the sandcar is a 13", and I have a new in box MPI 13" as well that I have not installed. While at the sandshow, I saw this MPI w/ the integrated & wired buttons that you can use for your PTT, but they only make it in a 14"...
