Building this 250R Became a Nightmare... The Story of my TRX250R Drag Racing Build

earlier this year I decided to take my iconic TRX 250R and take it from a Motocross machine and turn it into a drag racing machine the 250R is known for its handling and jumping abilities especially on the motocross track so some people weren't happy to hear that I was turning it into a drag racing machine but out on the sand power is King and especially being able to put that power to the ground without the front end coming up so far we've added an extended swing arm and done quite a bit of weight loss to make this thing faster the final key is upgrading the engine from a 309c to a 380c engine with a ton more power the problem is the event that I'm getting this machine and another one ready for is in just a couple of days and I haven't even started building the engine we've also got over 1,700 mil to get to the event so we have to factor in over 24 hours of driving and we need to make sure we're 100% prepared in case anything goes wrong on the sand building a Performance Engine with somewhat experimental Parts is one of those things you don't really want to be rushing with but in the spirit of well me that's exactly what we'll be doing so with less than a week to go I've got the other machine I'm bringing the Yamaha triz about 99% complete let's see if we can get this Honda dialed in it is pure chaos in the shop here guys there's just stuff all over the place man what a freaking mess got just stuff everywhere I have been working on the 250R I unfortunately I don't think we're going to be doing the engine build in this series for three reasons well two reasons really uh number one is that it is today is Friday it's like 4:00 in the afternoon we've only got half a day left here and I need to be on the road Wednesday at like 6:30 a.m. so basically we have until Tuesday night to have this 250R completely finished there's still some finishing work that I have to do on the tri Z not really much and then I need to load up the trailer and just pack and everything for it's going to be a 10-day trip and I'm going by myself so I have to make sure that I'm 100% prepared I just don't think we're going to have enough time to be doing the engine build now uh there's some other reasons too so see these hot rods crank boxes I tore down the M3 9 and unfortunately you can see here's my welded crank let me turn the light on here and uh you can see here's the old crank was welded up by Dave Moore uh you probably won't be able to see this cuz you can barely even feel it there's such a small amount of up and down play it's so small that I almost still like second guessing whether it's there but then when you take the new crank and feel it it is super tight so I didn't want to risk throwing this crank in this bearing has never been changed that is the one that was in there from the very start of the 250R series if you guys followed that series I learned a lot building that machine the first time I had it at the dunes we ended up burn melting it down Reid everything and then took it out to the dunes again and it melted down again that engine has seen some serious stress specifically this crank because this is the one part that I never swapped out whenever I was doing the rebuilds so I think it's a good thing that we got a new crank anyways but regardless the reason that I'm bringing that up is because this just came in the mail today so the past 2 and 1/2 days I haven't been able to start building cuz I was waiting on the crank so I have to true this and weld it I've got all brand new lower end bearings that are supposed to be coming in the mail today and with those two things then I can start the engine build on the bottom end I still have to do some case porting in here over here you can see there's metal shavings and stuff I've got my little porting tool here and I just got done porting the intake this is a DMR cast aluminum intake I've got that all Port matched' been doing some porting over here too you can see we've got some porting dust or saving weight uh I've got some clean up porting to do in the cylinder just a lot of stuff to do to get ready for this trip and it's just too much to be filming because filming it realistically makes things take like four or five times longer here is the SMR pipe I have this clear cerakoted now so this should never rust it looks like it's been freshly oiled cuz it left a nice clean gloss on there so that should be good to go I did these portions over here too I even heat treated these so that finish should last forever now moving on to the frame I did a couple things too remember the big ass pegs that I was going to put on there I've actually got them right here look at the size difference dude holy these are steel these are aluminum they've got stainless steel cleats in them these come from BDT Motors it's a company I haven't really dealt with too much but I saw they had these pegs and they really are nice they only weigh like 1.7 lb and these were just over 3 lb I weigh them so we're saving a decent amount of weight like 4 lb by switching to those pegs they weren't cheap they were about 300 bucks but uh you get what you pay for definitely uh Hefty price on those but they are sweet then back here I swapped out the sprocket for an aluminum sprocket and I shaved this down you can see where the bolts are there used to be three bolts so I machined that down I'm also going to be I ordered titanium hardware for everything in the axle and we saved about 3/4 of a pound more on the axle actually a pound if you include the sprocket so we're definitely we're moving in the right direction I also have been removing as much rolling resistance as possible check this out I should have done this in the beginning of the video and then come back because those wheels will literally spin for 3 minutes just a lot of things to do a lot of stuff all over the place and not a lot of time but what else is new uh some more cool stuff here we've got these are Billet aluminum lug nuts I have these on the voodoo bansi they actually work really well well haven't had any issues with them stripping out or anything and they're way lighter than the steel ones got a Billet kick shaft for the kickstarter I don't know that this is going to be any lighter than the steel one because it is super thick so the uh the material itself being lighter because it's so big might actually end up being just as much as the steel one but it's still a trick part and then we've got this mod quad counterbalancer holder that's going to be going in the engine just some cool trick stuff and then in this thing right here I've got got a 7075 aluminum rod it's just a plain aluminum rod and I've also got these Universal tie rod ends that will fit into the 250R the tie rod ends are lighter than the 250R ones and then they are heavy duty Motocross stainless steel ones that came with those Motocross AR ARS which realistically you know it's not the perfect setup for drag racing swapping out the AR arms would be the best thing to do but we can do some aluminum uh tie rods and I bet you will save like a pound and a half per side maybe and it's really easy to do could not find any aftermarket ones for the 250R so I'm just going to make them I also just found this I don't know if you can see but that got a broken read pedal and uh it's Friday so I literally just found this now thank God for Rocky Mountain ATV they have next day air shipping and they did have these vforce 3 replacement read pedals This would run like this but we're not doing that man we're going to put some fresh reads in there they will be here hopefully tomorrow if we're lucky and uh I'm going to get to it here so unfortunately guys there's probably not going to be too much detail on this but we I do want to get like the first start if we even do that here we might be doing that at the dunes and we might stop here and there along the video for some of the processes I got to get to work though guys I'm going to get after it I can't help it we got to see what we're saving in the lug nuts so these are the takeoff lug nuts these are those nice uh I think they're nickel coated these cap nuts really nice but they're not the best when it comes to weight saving got 9 1 lb so these way almost whole freaking pound man going right in the trash but they actually are really nice though uh these are the GPS ones so these are made of 7075 aluminum these are great man they are very light and they're pretty expensive or inexpensive rather it's 40 bucks for a set of 16 of these so like if you're going lightweight and you start thinking about titanium and stuff titanium is super expensive so uh in relation to that it's pretty pretty good bargain plus these things look really nice you can get them in different colors to got. 584 so what is that like three three. 35 lbs that we're saving in rotational Mass so that' be like the equivalent to about a pound of non- rotational Mass so we're saving weight and it looks trick and really the lightest way to go would be if we just use the standard M10 by 1.25 nuts now I guess like you you probably should have like a flange nut or use a washer on these but we'll just go like the lightest that we could possibly do 358 so it's these are2 pounds heavier but they're just way nicer and I do want to have some bling remaining on this machine so I I'm I'm willing to forgo that small amount of weight gain just to have these cool lug nuts all right let's get to [Music] work all right guys it's Monday I have been chipping away that everything on this 250R need to be leaving uh Wednesday by around 6:30 in the the morning is when I'd like to leave um and I just found something that could potentially you know or you guys can probably see up here on this transfer Bridge there's a piece of chipped nicasil that is not good um and it's in like the worst spot because the piston ring is going to catch that little lip going up and then it's going to catch the FP going down U the right thing to do would be to take this and send it out to power seal USA or Millennium and have it replated but the problem is we spent all this time preparing this engine getting everything good to go you can see I've got the engine all set up for assembly uh everything like all the hard work is done in here I spent hours cleaning up these transfers Port matching making sure that everything will go together and have really good performance I really don't know what to do at this point because the whole point of this trip was to bring and show off this 250R I could put the 309 top end on I could just throw that 309 top end on the bottom the Billet bottom end and everything but then we're going to have 309 performance the smart thing to do would be build the bottom end you know we can show off the Billet bottom end and all that stuff put the 309 top end on there and just run it that way it's not going to have crazy performance or anything it'll be just like last time out and then I can just bring this cylinder and show people what happened and stuff and then get this plated and come back for vengeance because you know if I if I I could smooth it out and maybe get away with it but then we might you know we we risk having a catastrophic engine failure or seizure or something which is just I really just don't know because it's possible that we we could run it and it would be fine you know what it in the spirit of full sending it I'm going to take this little Diamond Burr and see if I can smooth out the plating to a point where it is bonded to the cylinder and looks good and then we can assemble it and we'll see how the Rings pass over it and maybe it will be okay but you should not do this this is totally bad advice the only reason that I'm doing this is because we have no other choice there there's no way we could send this out and get it replated and back here by Tomorrow there's just no possible way so we all right all right I've got it smooth out I went with the diamond cutting wheel and then I went in there with 220 sand grit 320 and then 600 and then I polished it with two different compounds to make it basically Ultra smooth and I recessed the aluminum portion cuz basically I I just cut away the plating until it's at a portion where it's it still has a nice Bond and I recessed that bridge about maybe half a millimeter because I don't want the Piston Ring gliding on the aluminum but basically my theory is that we basically just removed that bridge and uh that's a pretty wide Port but it's not as wide as the exhaust so that should be okay should be okay yeah right um just don't do this uh I do not recommend doing this especially with such expensive stuff but you know there's two ways of looking at it uh any situation really there's different ways you can look at things I'm not going to lie like uh 15 minutes ago I was literally I was sitting on the floor right there just like completely beside myself and I was I was pissed off and I didn't know what to do um so you know we could look at this and be like oh what the hell like this is a bad cylinder or you know I messed it up and chipped it when I was doing the cleanup port and it's everybody else's fault or it could be you know at this point it's out of my control I can't fix that plated cylinder but this presents an opportunity for us to run the engine and see if this is actually a salvageable situation so that if we were in a situation where you know we were there was like a big race to get ready for or an event which is literally what we getting ready for can you be okay by smoothing out the nicasil and just getting through the day because my plan is if we can run this I went a little too far if we can run this just bare minimum and it works we can have some fun with it do some passes with it and um then I'll get it replated when we come back from the dunes that is my plan and you know maybe it'll work and this will be one of those deals where if somebody else is in a situation like this they can be like dude I saw somebody do it and they were actually able to get through the day uh and and and still be able to enjoy the machine so definitely not ideal again I do not recommend doing this but sometimes like in some situations you just have to get it done you just have to see if it works so at worst you know we're going to destroy it's going to have to be replated anyways so I'm not really worried about the cylinder uh the Piston may get destroyed but I think in the uh the efforts of science you know it's worth it uh putting the Rings in there and the Piston it Glides right over it I don't feel any catching whatsoever granted you know we're not running the engine it's going to be under a lot more Force it's really hard to say man I I think we're just going to send it just going to do this like a thousand times and then it's basically broken in so my plan is I will bring the 309 top end the pipe for the 309 basically the whole setup and I will do very light warm up and Breakin procedures with this probably like 2 or 3 minutes and then I'll pull the head off and see what the that transfer Port looks like then I can do it again do a little bit more warm up pull the head and if it's holding up then we'll run it we'll we'll we'll we'll give it some full sends if I see some issues where it's starting to peel away or something we'll just pull the top end and then swap over the 309 and at least I'll be able to enjoy the dunes we'll have the stretch swing arm and stuff it's not going to be as exciting as the 380 but it'll be what it'll be I kind think that this is going to work though I I really do so again do not do this I don't [Music] recommend [Music] [Applause] [Music] n [Music] a [Music] well guys I did something very stupid and this is a prime example of why you shouldn't rush to get things done uh we were getting there you know I was getting everything together I had the top end on there and then I put the kickstarter on and I was rolling it over just to make sure that everything goes nice and smoothly and it kept getting stuck in a certain position so I looked inside the intake port and I noticed that the piston was actually coming down so low that the skirt was actually hitting the crank so it would never do a full Revolution uh I'm not sure why maybe I don't know if this is the incorrect piston or what the deal is at the top of the stroke it looked good uh so I just went to trim the bottom of the Piston which basically just in an effort to get get it done at all means NE by all means necessary uh the intake side is good no issues there and I started shaving off the front side to kind of balance it out and just took too much off really uh one of those things where I know better and as I was cutting the Piston I'm thinking about it and I'm like dude I totally screwed myself I'll show you what I did wrong okay you guys are going to have to excuse the mess it is this the the mess on the bench is basically the mess in my mind right now so let's get our piston in here and um so we'll come up to top dead center and if if you look in the exhaust Port I think it'll be a little bit better if we get some light going on in here okay right like that okay so at top dead center we're right about there and you can see there's not enough piston skirt to close that exhaust Port so it should be like that at top dead center and as you can see I just took going to say about four or 5 millimet to much off and again it's so easy to measure you just put the piston in like it is right now and you can mark where the exhaust Port is so that you don't go too far really just a total newbie mistake and something that I know better it's just when you're rushing you tend to do stupid stuff man I cannot believe I'm still in disbelief one of those scenarios where it's like cuz it's been maybe 45 minutes now uh where it's like man if I could just go back one hour if I could just go back one hour and not shave that off we'd be good but you can't do that you know this is reality there's there's there's no way so it's it's now Monday night it's 9:00 p.m. and uh we have tomorrow and then we're leaving Wednesday morning so there's no way that I can send a new piston in as you guys can tell I've done quite a bit of modifications to this too it would really be a shame to just trash this piston but at this point uh the engine would run like this it's just probably not going to run very well because you know as the Piston comes up it's pulling in a charge from the intake and that Gap below the Piston skirt is going to push a lot of that intake charge right out the exhaust so I I don't think that would be very good for performance and I'd hate to do all this performance mods and stuff I'm put the 380 on there and stuff and then it runs like hell so I have one last ditch effort to get this thing going it's probably an even dumber you know option than running the cylinder with the piece of flaking nicasil and that is I'm going to have my buddies Matt and Shane you may remember them from when we made the custom airbox on the voodo banshe uh Matt is an expert TIG welder this is a really thick piston it's 3.22 mm wide it's a very heavy duty piston it's Billet aluminum I would never consider doing this anyways but I would definitely never consider doing on like a cast piston or a skinny piston but because this is so beefy I'm going to have him pile up some TIG weld on the edge here we're going to try to keep it nice and cool so we don't get any warping or anything and then I'll shape it just enough to cover up that exhaust port and that should be you know in theory just enough to get us going and get us to the sand dunes running with the m380 and if we can make it through the weekend this stuff will be coming off immediately we'll be getting the cylinder replated and a new piston that is not um you know hack job this is this is unfortunate and it's not the way I wanted things to go but you know that's just life sometimes and at the end of the day uh this is not a life or death scenario and it at the worst case scenario is you know we'll just grenade the entire engine unlikely um the Piston skirt could break off that is definitely a realistic possibility I don't know that that's going to happen though um just on the one side we'll keep it nice and thick so that it can be as strong as possible we'll just see what happens I guess oh now we can't finish the engine tonight but we can do is weigh this against the takeoff engine you didn't think I forget about that did you absolutely not so we're I just have all the components out here we've got the bottom end I have it dressed the same way that we had the 309 this one's definitely heavier oh I got to zero out this scale here we'll do it in the same way as the other one okay 0. pounds I think the bottom end is just as heavy as the whole other engine geez 53.7 that's uh we're getting close we were 60.5 um with the 309 I'm just going to lay this stuff in place oh we're already over 61.2 n that's really not bad though because we're pretty much there there's not much other stuff we just have the intake here if we can magically stack this on top without having it fall and even the piston rings we got to put the piston rings on there it wouldn't be a fair match and I've got the Piston pin in there too wow almost exactly 63 lbs that's in you know 2 and2 lb is not bad 2 and 1 12 lb so I think uh Dave was telling me that the cases were about 2 and 1/2 lb heavier than in stock so if the top end is similar in weight to the 309 amazing so a pound and a half gain we lost that in like the pegs alone so well actually we lost even more than that in the pegs so I'll take that as a victory we got at least one thing's going right you know lost a little bit of weight I don't know so as always in the spirit of getting things done our bottom end is crispy and ready to rock and roll so I'm going to get that in the frame since that's something that we can do while we're waiting uh till tomorrow for the Piston incredible well job and just try to get everything as ready as possible so that when I come home with the Piston we can clean it up shave it and make it as you know minty as possible throw it in there and get this thing fired up so fingers crossed guys we got to make it happen man we can't just skip this trip and wait for for next year we got to make it happen let's do [Music] it [Music] all right guys it's Tuesday morning and I'm on the way to Stouts Customs I'm going to get together with Shane and Matt and we're going to see if we can weld this piston up I'm I'm very nervous man I'm really like reconsidering my situation I'm not so much worried about the Piston failing And the cylinder failing and getting damage there I'm more worried about the bottom end cuz if the skirt breaks off and falls into the Bott bottom end inevitably there's probably going to be some bottom end Dam damage now granted because those those cases are so tough the chances of like uh so much damage that they wouldn't be repairable or savable is very slim but there would still probably be damage and that's something that I don't want to happen but this is just one of those situations man like I wouldn't be who I am if I always played the safe route so I guess we'll see what the Piston looks like after after we're done working on it and if it if it if it looks like like it'll it'll work we're going to ship it and uh full sand full sand so dimpling your piston makes it lighter well lighter yes and um it it change it helps with like the friction and lubricity cuz each one of those little dimples will carry oil oil y it looks good though man it's that little black off of there Matt's trying to keep it cool we're doing one pass at a time and letting it cool what do you think dude it'll work it's welding really nice it really likes clean aluminum yeah good just sipping it one little drop at a time there it [Music] is all right leaving Stout's Customs I feel really good man I think it's going to be really good Matt said that the aluminum was super clean and it welded really nice nicely this is there's no good way of looking at this situation but at least these little hurdles to get us to the end of the race which is basically the starting line on the sand dunes we're getting over each hurdle one at a time I feel really good those guys are awesome in there uh I tried to pay them and they wouldn't take any money so I had to leave a hundred bucks on the bench because they they just wanted to help me out so we're we're getting there guys we're back in business this is we might get this thing running dude we might get it running all right guys there it is actually looks pretty damn good I was really nervous at first but I really think that this is going to hold up if you come in the back you can see the Weld and I could have machined that down on the inside too Matt and I and then cleaned it up so that there would be no seam but I thought it would be better to leave that a little bit thicker up at the top and then I kind of tapered it down at the edges cuz we want this to be as light as possible because if it's heavy that's more weight that's slinging around down there I think we're going to be good uh if best part is slide this in our cylinder get it up to top dead center if you guys can see it is perfect so our exhaust Port is now covered all the way up to top dead center we should be good to go we had no warping or anything the Piston pin fits in just like it did before slides in place nice and the Rings fit in there too so we're uh we're we're we're working on hopes and dreams right now but it's looking more realistic that this could possibly [Music] work [Music] well guys if this isn't a sign that I am not supposed to run this engine then I don't know what is I've got the wrong uh length Rod every step of the way here we're getting over hurdles but this one I think we're done so you can see if we go to bottom dead center it goes below the exhaust Port you can see right there which is not not good and then if we come all the way to top dead center well I went a little bit past it but it actually comes out of The Jug just slightly which in some cases can be okay but we're using O-rings so that actually bumps up against the Dome so I guess uh somewhere along the way I made a miscalculation and I ordered a 76 mm Rod which I thought was correct and this setup calls for a 72 mm Rod so it makes sense that the piston didn't fit which that really should have made me put on the brakes right then and there but I think I'm just pushing so hard to get this done and uh I just looked past things and uh I feel bad all the companies that uh pushed you know all these parts out to me so fast and I just the only way to do this uh at this point would be to get a 72 mm crank uh tear the the entire engine back down put the other crank in and then we'd still be running on a bad nicasil boore and a welded piston uh totally disappointed right now but I guess the only option really is to put the 309 top end on and just uh enjoy the extended ar ar the Billet cases the lightweight axle and the little bit of modifications that we did and we'll just see how hard we can push that 309 at least we know that runs and uh I'll just uh enjoy it for what it is just very very disappointing uh it's not like the kind of thing where I can go back out next weekend or whatever Oklahoma is about uh 1750 mi from here so this is kind of like one of those things that you know I look forward to but stop being a Debbie Downer all right it'll be all right let me get get that 309 on [Music] [Music] there we're getting pretty close to having this thing finished besides wiring up the zonic ignition putting the intake on and the we're pretty much there so speaking of the intake I've actually got that right here in this box I know that this is it it is Tuesday man we're supposed to be leaving in like 12 hours um I think because of this whole ordeal we're going to wind up waiting uh one more at least half day because there there's just no way I still have to get the trailer out I still have to change out the front brake line on the tri Z load up the trailer and stuff and I've got 24 hours of driving it's almost 1,800 miles to get out there uh I just don't think it's a good idea to be pulling like an all nighter to get the this thing done anyways uh I have the intake right here this is made by my buddy Gavin uh Gavin Miller so I met him at the first 250R tour and he's kind of become a buddy of mine so I wanted to open this up up up on up on camera he's been sending me pictures I know it looks awesome and I want to share it with you guys so we'll open this thing up I do know what it looks like cuz like I said he sent me a ton of pictures of this thing and dude these things are awesome if you haven't seen a Gavin Miller intake you're in for a treat there is man freaking sweet right yeah there's more to it than [Applause] that since I wasn't allowed to weld it on your intake now you got now get your ass to Little Sahara so when I did meet Gavin the first time uh at Little Sahara he was threatening to draw a dick on my bike and uh as you can imagine we didn't really get off on the right foot cuz I thought he was serious and I think he kind of was we were joking that he was going to well W one on this intake oh dude this thing is huge the size of that filter man beautiful welds on this thing I love his logo that he tacks on there it looks super trick and if we were running our pip from Scott Moser this would match perfectly with that raw finish it looks beautiful and this the filter is huge dude this thing is going to be an absolute AirHog so even though we're running the 309 I do believe with the DM intake that I ported to fit on there and this intake and I'm running a different carburetor setup I think we might still make a little bit more power than what we had before plus we've got the xtronic programmable ignition so we can adjust the timing curve we might get another Pony or two out of it with the lightweight uh you know all the lightweight stuff that we've done to this thing we might actually whoop some ass out there so I'm not going to lie I was I was BM before but I'm starting to get really excited and plus something about the way that this looks I don't know why even though you know we got the old cylinder on there and the old pipe it kind of has like a new look to it it really looks awesome so I'm I'm excited to run the 309 I really am and we've got a holographic Gavin Miller sticker freaking cool man you know I love stickers Gavin knows bro bro thank you for this intake it's going to look awesome but you're going to regret giving this to me when I whoop your ass passing you because I have this thing so this fits under here this thing is freaking huge and it mounts right up to this Factory location right here and you can see we're going to bridge this Gap and Gavin gives you a little bit of extra hose so you do have to cut it because it's going to be different for every application man when you go aftermarket it seems like fitment for everything becomes tight at least aftermarket for performance there we go looks like we need to cut a tad bit more slightly on an angle best way I found to cut this stuff cleanest way anyways is to put a band clamp on I'm going to put it at a little bit of an angle like that that is about where we want it I'll tighten this down just snug and I'm going to take my knife with a new blade makes it a lot easier just push in here come on you bastard new knife right and I'm going to kind of twist this towards me you don't want to push the knife because if you push the knife that's kind of you know if you slip you're going to push into yourself but if you rotate this and pull towards you less likely that you're going to get cut and just kind of let the blade Glide along the hose clamp all right guys what I'm doing now is setting up the xtronic ignition here is the xtronic CDI and we've got a cable here so that you can actually connect it to the computer if you pull this little plug out here it's got a connector and you can just plug this bastard in like so then you've got a USB on this side go ahead and plug this in and the software is available right from xtronic um it comes with two maps you've got the TRX 250R map and then the CR250 map uh number one is supposed to be CR250 and number two is trx250r I think from what I read online uh sometimes they're flip flopped but you can open it up and see what you have uh with the free software that they have now the connection cable does come separately from the um the CDI but I definitely recommend getting that connector so I'm going to go ahead and install this I'm not going to do a tutorial in this video for two reasons one because of our time constraints and two because I'm just learning this so uh I I want to learn this and then I can show you guys I don't have a screen recorder on this laptop so we're going to have to do it the oldfashioned way but I'll show you guys how this works that didn't really help much at all so uh you have the map one right here if you click on map two there it is right there um and you can compare them too so you can see map one is the blue one the ignition timing curve is a little bit higher a little bit more aggressive that's the CR 251 and you can adjust all of the timing curves up here they have the RPM and then how much the timing is adjusted which is really nice if you go to MK you can adjust the timing Advance right here in the programmer you can also I already adjusted my rev limit to 11,000 it was set at 10,000 and it has Kickback protection right here I was told to update this to 800 RPMs and now we'll just hit program up here and it's going to program the ignition and boom it's done so just like that I I um Chang that I'm probably going going to mess with the ignition timing too for now I'm going to leave it at zero but it's that easy then you unplug it and plug in the you just unplug it the CDI was on the quad you'd be good to go so uh very very cool system I've been wanting to try one of these out for like two years it's about freaking time and also if you do buy this through drw performance there's a promo code if you use Sabo 10 to check out you will get 10% off but they also have this Mount so it will work on I think this is for square and round frames so if you have an aftermarket frame I could be wrong on that but I know they offer one for a round frame mine is for the square frame because that's what I've got but it's just a nice Mount hooks right up to the frame and uh it allows you to have kind of like a clean mount for your your [Music] CDI all right guys we are there we're going to do a try to do a first start so no ignition switch oh got the funnel sticking out of the side of the engine I just put the oil in tell you what man rushing is just not a good thing it's Wednesday by the way supposed to have already been on the road at 6:30 this morning obviously that's not happening I've basically just decided to push everything back one day I want to stop for a minute to thank you for making it this far into the video I also want to stop to thank the companies to help to make this project possible thank you to Rocket Ron racing cast Precision Industries full flight racing Power Sports Nation Dave Moore racing drw performance perosi and quad racing these are all companies I trust and most of them I use on a regular basis links and promo codes will be listed in the description below if you're enjoying the video so far and looking for a way to help out giving the video a thumbs up leaving a comment below or subscribing to the Channel all help out a ton products and tools in the video are listed in the description below and purchasing from those links does help me out a lot I get a small Kickback from that and there's no extra cost to you and if you're looking to support the channel even further there is the option to join all channel members get guaranteed responses to their YouTube comments all right guys I am done talking let's get back to the video all right see what happens here 309r round two but with Billet cases I might need better shoes than this this quad was not known for having the easiest starting and it was also known for doing a little bit of Kickback in so hopefully this boot will help the xtronic supposed to help with that but who knows I'm not taking any chances okay put the choke up maybe I don't know if that's really going to help oh got something woo sounds good there's no cool it in there like normal so we're in business baby hell yeah dude let's get this thing [Music] together [Music] [Music] you didn't think I forget did you hell no we got to weigh this bastard so I've got the scales out here 233 232.000 233 234 and 2 31.5 so I'm about 232 lbs according to these scales uh if you guys remember it's the first one we subtracted 10 lb after the final weight because these scales are all off by like 2 3 lb they're higher so cuz I'm like 229 is and these are all saying around 232 so between between all of them they're about 10 lbs off all right let's weigh this damn thing it's still pretty heavy I'm not going to lie like I'm not not feeling the greatest about our weight loss program that we went on here I think it's going to be like lighter for sure but it just feels heavy so do the back end first 82.2 61.3 and in the front this is where it's heavy man it really is 911 822 I think my original guess was like 330 so we've got 82.2 plus 91.1 plus 82.5 plus 61.3 37.1 dude and we still have to subtract the 10 lbs wow 37.1 minus the 10 brings us to 37.1 holy dude wow man I did not expect that dude that is way lighter than I thought so 36 65.2 is the original weight minus 37.1 we lost 58.1 lb dude that's almost 60 lb that's insane if I wasn't so damn fat I could probably lose like 60 lbs I'm 230 lb about so if I just weighed like 170 we we would lose 120 lbs dude oh man if I get a lightweight Rider on this thing I think even with just the little 309 top end we might be able to tune some people up so uh we're pretty much ready to go I've got the 250R uh ready to rock and roll and I'll do the tuning and stuff when we get out there I can't really with the sand paddles and just around here it's this can't tune it here and then uh the triz is pretty much ready to go we'll tune that out there too uh might as well get loaded dude I got my work cut out I got to get the trailer out and stuff and 1,800 [Music] miles so with that I would pack up the 250R the triz and the rest of my stuff and head about 1,700 mil to Woka Oklahoma for the 2023 250R takeover tour it was a brutal drive and the furthest I've ever driven on my own in one shot coming in at 25 and a half hours total and man when I got there I was absolutely shot when I arrived at the Sand Dunes it was about 8:30 a.m. on Friday I was too excited to sleep so I checked out the house and then I would head to the dunes and then inside real nice clean design they had these like concrete slabs on the floor which is super easy to clean don't have to worry about breaking anything or messing up the floors real nice kitchen and then man they had accommodations it says for 11 people you got four bunk beds there come over here and we got four bunk beds here and if you come around the front there's even more got a C I think this is a sofa bed and then two more bunk beds it's pretty cool man definitely a dune spot and then if you did run out like other units you can open that up and believe you can link them together and the bathroom's really nice too only complaint I had was there was only one bathroom one toilet we got a Ural though which is pretty awesome check this out man this thing has a freaking bedet and a heated seat dude so every time you sit down it feels like somebody's just got done really nice shower though with uh three [Music] showerheads nice this year's event had a great turnout with over 200 TRX 250rs there it was unbelievable how many people came out to see the triz and the 250R I'd realistically estimate that over a 100 people stopped me either on the trail or at my camp site to take pictures with the 250R and the triz or just to hang out for a bit it was an absolutely awesome event and I'm truly happy and honored to have met so many of fans and subscribers of the channel you guys all seriously Rock I've learned in the past that filming and covering these events really takes away from the enjoyment so this year because I didn't have the 380 engine finished I decided to just enjoy the 309 do some ripping and be present at the event I had a new goal in mind I wanted to finish that 380 and I knew exactly where to do it my next leg of the trip will be heading to Northfork Nebraska to visit the PO Sports Nation family if there's any shop in the world that would have the tools to get the job done it would be Power Sports Nation let's see if we can get this 380 dialed in once and for [Music] all well guys you may have noticed I'm in a bit of a different shop here I'm actually at the dicky house these are the owners of Power Sports Nation I've got the 250R here the thing ran absolutely amazing at little saharo with a 310 top end on there we had it dialed in really really well it was super fast I was even taken down some of the bigger bikes it wasn't anything crazy you know was kind of to be uh expected with a 310cc but it did run really well the weight reduction definitely helped big time and up until the end there suddenly I noticed I couldn't get uh second gear launches and it was the idle was kind of getting was raising up and I couldn't get the idle settle down and it turns out I actually blew out the base gasket just uh slightly on the one side and that will do that you can see down here all this Sandy oil the there was actually a piece of gasket sticking out and that's how we saw that it had the blown gasket it was still actually running pretty damn good with that but definitely not something want to continue running you can see all this dirt and uh some leaking right here this is actually uh because the gas cap is leaking and running down the back so we got a little bit of a mess there but really otherwise it ran really really well it was awesome I would say that I met I'm not even kidding 100 subscribers there were so many people there awesome people that I got to meet they got to check the machines out and just an awesome awesome turnout I think there were there had to be over 2250 RS there uh in the group photo there were 178 you may see that triz in the photo in there I don't know it wasn't me who put it there but there were also some 250 RS back at Camp so from what I understand there were well over 2250 RS awesome turnout now anyways as you guys may have seen in the beginning of this video we had some issues getting the 380 kit together for this so luckily I did bring that cylinder with me so that people could check it out and see some of the issues that I came across that's just kind of the name of the game it happens sometimes but Power Sports Nation is gracious enough to let me use their shop here and I'm going to yank the engine out of here we're going to bring it to PO Sports and I'm my plan is we got they they Power Sports Nation overnighted the correct crank welded and truee the the crank so we have now we have all the parts that we need I'm going to separate the cases put the right crank in there and hopefully we can get that 380 on there get that really sick exhaust on here and actually rip this thing unfortunately it won't be at the Sand Dunes we'll throw some dirt tires on here and we'll send it man see how that 380 goes so let's tear this thing [Music] down so yet again we're pulling the engine in the 250R I should be getting good at this by now luckily I had Liam from pow Sports Nation there to give me a hand this time once we had the motor out it was time to head to the Power Sports Nation headquarters where I would have access to all the necessary tools to do the engine build with the 380 we've come way too far to not get this engine going on this trip let's head inside and see what we can do we're moving along with the engine here and right now I'm outside of the machine shop at pow Sports Nation and we've had the privilege of being allowed to use this shop to build the 250R these are the machinists right here Ro engine builders but they've got all kinds of cool stuff here they've got is this a boring machine yep we've got all kinds of stuff in here milling machine lathes we've got stuff to true cranks all kinds of stuff I don't even know what half of this stuff is but uh pretty much any job you could think of they're going to be able to get it done if you come over here they've got a surfacing machine there's an engine stand right there got a welder this is the surfacing machine right here really cool it's just awesome to be in a real shop so luckily we've got we should have every tool that we need to get the job done we're going to try to do this as quick as possible and uh we might even meet Jeff who I would say I guess is he like your your lead engine builder here he is our lead machine yeah he's the man I can tell he's welded a couple cranks for me and stuff he welded the crank that we have here because Liam um hopped on getting the crank overnighted two Power Sports Nation they welded it and that's what we're going to throw in this bottom end so I guess probably me and Liam are just going to knock this out as quick as possible easy yeah and oh but this is cool though how organized these tools are it's tough you using anybody else's tools but at least when they're organized this will help out a lot so we should be good to [Music] go [Music] [Music] now that the tear Down's complete we're about ready to put this thing together with the 380 top end and the correct crank not accidents happen all the time and as if we didn't have enough problems with this top end yet when I was at the dunes I had the piston and top end on display so that subscribers could check out the port work and the custom piston work that I'd done after cleaning up camp and moving everything back to the house I put the top end pieces in a box with sprockets and other 250R Parts I put that box in the back of a side by side for Easy Transport and unfortunately I forgot that the box was back there we did a little bit of off-roading and that box smashed all over the place in the back of that side by side needless to say I was not happy it resulted in scratches and small Nicks in the dome and the Piston totally not good and could cause detonation in the engine I'll tell you when it rains it pours but there was nothing that was going to stop me from getting this engine running on this trip it was awesome to have Jeff a master machinist and engine builder on site to clean up the piston and the Dome so we can make this thing good to go just another hurdle to get over to make this engine run so this is the guy here Power Sports Nation uh right now we're actually chucking off that super custom piston we got some a little bit of Nixon damage in it just from from an accident we had so he thinks he can clean it up a little bit what do you have a these brass shims in here yep that's to protect the Piston from the Jaws precaution you think it's going to run yeah with all the welds and stuff yeah just said he's seen some in his day wasn't that not that surprised to see in the wells how's it looking not bad oh it definitely looks better it's amazing with just sandpaper a little bit of a little bit of sandpaper Jeff how long youve been working with motors long time how long is a long time about 40 years I suppose 40 years I'm 52 so I started way back when I was a little shaver you know on a yz60 and uh if you blow it up you gota tear it apart and fix it so that's the truth man I appreciate you having here helping us out man a no problem I'm glad to do it so we've got everything torn down uh we did notice a little bit of glitter in here and um looking over the gears and everything we can't find where it's coming from you can see it all here there's a ton I I I really it's aluminum so I don't know if maybe it's from the new cases maybe there is something that's rubbing I don't know but uh we can't find anything so if you guys remember earlier in this video when I was originally assembling the bottom end of this 250R I forgot a small aluminum nail in the gears I placed that nail there to keep the gears from turning when I'm tightening bolts however it's supposed to be removed before finishing off the engine that's one of the reasons you use aluminum instead of Steel because in a case like this where I did forget that nail at least the aluminum is softer than the steel gears and the internals of the engine were able to chew up that aluminum nail causing practically no damage but at this moment we were totally scratching our heads we had no idea where that aluminum came from anyways I'm fitting to build this 380 but Jeff stopped me and he said hang on man you got to clean up this those parts you said here at Power Sports Nation we've got a special way of cleaning up parts and it's a hell of a lot easier than using your standard Parts [Music] washer pick your favorite is it number four number five number three or two or one this is a Hearts washer helps it get really clean D where you go Jeff most custom piece Jeff s yes [Music] Bab all along there underneath of it oh this spins yeah yep that big bar right there and just shoot water down on let's see these yeah bet you those are hot to the touch very very very very hot but they look brand new all cleaned up now that all the parts are clean and brand spank and New Again me and the guys from from Power Sports Nation spent the next 2 hours putting the engine together this time with the 380 top end kit the experimental welded piston that had chips in it and then was saved the chipped nicael cylinder and the repaired cylinder head Dome the only thing left to do is to take the engine back to the home residence of the Power Sports Nation guys and get the engine in the frame I don't know about you guys but I'm ready to hear this 380 [Music] sing now for about the fifth time fourth time actually literally we will install this engine into the frame and finally with the 380 links top end I did put the custom piston in and I really think it's going to work I just really wanted to run it after all the work I put into that thing I feel like we got to try it out and at worst if it blows up we're just G to have to tear it down again I'm getting pretty damn good at tearing these 250 RS down and putting them back together so it's not the end of the world if we've got a failure uh yet again now we've got this beautiful smpp pipe I've been dying to get this thing in place and just hear this thing I've got it clear Sak coated I'm testing this out got good fitment went there no problem but the clear sakote should be awesome because when you have a raw pipe you've got to oil it constantly and that is just a pain in the ass so hopefully we'll never have to do that with this one and it'll keep that nice raw finish forever now we've got this really nice vband style clamp here I'm going to put just a little bit of red RTV on our mating surfaces just to make sure we don't get any leaks to stroke exhaust man we don't want any leaks at all man this thing looks absolutely ridiculous look at this pipe dude just an awesome some pipe this thing's like a freaking work of art and pull our vband in place this the first time working with one of these but these are supposed to give a really really good seal we'll slip our silencer in place here we use a Banshee style pipe connector for our pipe Mount now I'll tighten down this vband clamp and this thing is installed has perfect fitment man like that's Liam's going to start it by hand snaps my wrist it wouldn't be good I'm okay you're paying for my hospital bill right it does look really good though fit perfect the seats really nice yeah yeah really um fits up very very nice so we're uh we're about ready to fire it up dude come fresh this pipe is so big though like you kick to the side I don't want to kick the pipe DSE it yeah I want get like rub on it it's too nice it's got some serious compression dude kick like a man kick there you go [Music] o damnn dude on those fing compression Strokes actually started pretty easy yo just just give it a little stab you can feel the power dude this sound all right I want to give it some this one needs extra warming up because we've got that custom piston in there dude it's almost like a four stroke you know the pups where the PS hit you in the face just it felt like this God I hate that yeah I haven't really done guys is that's got a good sound to it dude that I like that a lot I like that a lot wow I'll let this warm up a little bit it does have coolant in it but I have not burped it so it probably needs a little bit more cool it sounds really good though the fact that an idle right away looks pretty good too it's not like super Smoky or anything God sounds like it's a [Music] rip let it cool off and then I want to top off the coolant but dude honestly that sounds sweet yeah but definitely I want to put a good amount of time like just cruising and on the break in yeah I'm wondering if I can run this on the grass without they're pretty expensive paddles not going to lie so yeah you don't want to F those up I think you've got the konas it should uh it'll kick a little easier now that the kicker's right so it's supposed to go forward a little bit that's why we having so much trouble it should probably one good kick hit the top end is a little noisy it's got that custom piston in there the one that I didn't fold and everything and I want to make sure I put a good amount of break in on that it sounds awesome though and it's really really Snappy it's snappier than the than the 310 was probably probably because um it's not a stroker anymore it really sounds good dude we're going to put the uh put a little bit of time on it put the Plastics back on there's a sand pit out here we're going to be ripping but we finally got the 380 together man finally it looks awesome the moment is finally here all the hard work was finally going to pay off well hopefully I'm honestly very nervous to run this thing sitting and idling is one thing but putting it under heavy load and doing doing clutch dumps is another especially because the top end wasn't particularly quiet my speculation is that that's piston chatter from cutting the skirts on the Piston short but engines do make noise and I'm extra sensitive to it right now but I wasn't about to back out this late in the game we've got to full send it all right guys we are at a local sand pit I don't think it's very big but we should have enough that we can find a nice straight away and get her dialed in now we're only at 71° here so we'll let her get good and warm and I guess we just have to see if even the transmission works here and my plan is to just kind of cruise around and get this nice and warm and maybe run like a quarter of a tank through it before I start really going hard on it because the last thing we want to do with that piston is just jump right into these you know hard-hitting straightaways and stuff I'll tell you what dude this thing really has a bark man I have a feeling this thing's going to be really fast oh my god dude who it definitely pulls harder even just from feeling that little bit dude even just doing those little like blips you can tell it's got quite a bit more but the sound of it when I person over there just sounds so Bross yeah dude there's a huge flat field over there you want to go to that it's actually got torque wow yeah because that was one of the things if you're a 310 guy it's really hard to get any kind of bottom end on a 310 and my 310 I mean for what it was I guess it was pretty good but the the the the bottom end was really not [Music] there wow I can cannot wait this is very difficult man if you've ever had to do break-ins it is freaking torture doing a Breakin very very smooth [Music] power we're only at 127° right now so we're not even warmed up it may actually be even a little bit lean thing well you know it's so it's so cool and Breezy today it's just staying cool it's only at 130° but it feels take it around for a little bit and you can get on it a little bit like I did there just don't like dump the clutch you can feel it needs to be geared up like even without ripping on it you can feel it needs to be geared up it runs out of gear really quick really quick really quick yeah so Liam got to ride it as a 310 so he knows he he get to feel the difference too it's cool just to hear [Music] it it's tough man it really is we got like 20 minutes of this but we really will we if I it's a good thing to do [Music] and like the first to second Too Short that third it gives it a second to really Co and that's only trying to do half thr just starts to feel's got way more power than the other bit before I felt like Anyway feel is a lot I said f it dude full send we're just going to go right to a second gear [Music] launch oh jeez I think we can sit a little further back all right just in case it's going to blow up you get you get one in too so we at least we'll have launched each one [Applause] [Music] each it just wants to keep ping if we had real nice roofs dude if we had a bigger gear it would let let it eat on that power yeah I think you're right oh yeah dude you're definitely holy dude I can't stop oh my God you definitely have to sit back on it and it moves man oh man oh dude yeah if you sit back it it pulls pretty good out of the hole it dude it throws a roost too it's nice [Music] dude you know how when you ride like a 1,000cc sport bike yeah you start to re like you start to get comfortable on it and then all of a sudden you realize how much power it has and it's like I could really get hurt yeah where it's like it reminds you of how dangerous it is I think you could really go fast on this yeah Liam's a pro wheelie Rider semi-professional my brother still kicks my butt he's really good for some reason like we had a four-wheel drive four-wheeler and he would stand on the front rack and do reverse wheelies with it for like as for like like 100t he could do it [Music] probably I'm not kidding when when we say that thing needs to be geared up it really could just use it you know if you get it just right it feels like if you let go at all you're going to fall off but you got to sit all the way back I noticed like really far [Music] [Music] back I can't get over the sound of that bike all right I'm good [Music] when it comes to Performance things and things of that nature it means absolutely nothing unless you know the numbers I don't even know you can't just be fast you have to know the numbers in order to get the power to the ground let's have a look at this 380r now you may notice we've already got some data recorded here now that's actually for the old format that's the 309r and this is actually the original dyo that I had done you can see this is from a a dino jet this is very inaccurate anyways I've duplicated this power curve right here it made just under 60 horsepower so you can see it was pretty peaky it kind of you know it didn't really have too much down low we were around 60 horsepower uh revved out around 9,000 RPMs 8500 was kind of where it maxed out so with the 380 though uh significantly more power down low um I would have to say it comes on way way way sooner and I feel like it has more of more of like a bell curve I don't know if a bell but it uh it comes on way way way sooner and I I would say realistically you know we're you know we're nice and smooth very very linear and very nice wide power band I think it revs a little bit higher too because we're no longer a stroker and that super lightweight piston man and I'm going to say it it it goes up man over I I'm going to say over 70 horsepower I would say low 70s maybe we'll say 72 horsepower actually exactly I mean now exactly 72 horsepower and uh I I think rev a little bit higher has really good decent over rev and then kind of falls off we'll just kind of put it like that but just all over the map it is significantly more power so the peak isn't that much higher you know we're going from we'll just say 60 to 72 about so about 12 horsepower gain is what I would estimate but where this what makes this engine so much feel so much more powerful than the old one it's just the P the the power band is so wide I mean it was it's probably even higher and flatter it it's just really really really good power now you may notice another player has entered the chat we've got Voodoo so uh you know everybody's a lot of people were asking me like oh dude why didn't you bring the voodo Banshee to the dunes and it was just a it's a lot getting these machines ready and get them out there as you guys can see in this video but uh I would say that speed wi you know power I do think that the the voodo bansi is faster that that's it's probably got around 80 horsepower but uh I would not be surprised if the the the new 380 is faster because I'm just going to do like a guesstimate on the Banshees power curve dude it is so radical there's like nothing down low like it seriously like this and then it just suddenly spikes up like insane and gets to that probably about 80 horsepower and just kind of like falls off it's uh really really really peaky uncontrollable power and uh because of that the 380r is just such a good such a good power plant really smooth linear power and uh that's what you need if if you want to win basically we actually what you really need is this chart so if we follow this power curve you're going to notice right off the bat this thing's got some ass baby even down low it's got some torque for a two-stroke and then it comes up here we're starting to make big Power and you're like oh my God why isn't it slowing down how come this is making more power and then right about here the Piston explodes and shatters into a million pieces because it's it's welded together but it won't matter because up until that point you'll be looking like a badass and that is your official s Dino report product Spotlight why would we not do those don't know but got this brand new product right here from Dave Mo racing this thing is actually freaking sweet this is a rear master cylinder for the 250R now it's not like your regular master cylinder it is an upgraded cylinder so you've got an integrated Reservoir we've got a nice mod quad Reservoir cap up here keeps everything in one place and it doesn't just look look freaking sweet this is a performance upgrade so you've got a larger piston that's going to move more fluid and give you more stopping power there's also going to be less brake Fade with this so for guys that are using the brakes a lot especially on the motocross track this could be a key element and also for guys like me who do not even have front brakes on the 250R are going to love something like this this thing is made of solid Billet aluminum so it's virtually indestructible and many of the internal components are shared with the Yamaha bansi so you're not going to have to worry about any of these parts becoming discontinued in the future now you won't see this on my 2 50 R in this video because I didn't get this until after this series but this is going to be an awesome upgrade if you guys are looking to get one of these you can get them on the Dave Mo racing website so you can find it on Dave racing.com he is in the process of putting these up so if it's not on the website right now you can email him at Dave Mo racing atgmailcom make sure to let them know I sent you check it out guys the DMR rear brake master cylinder all right let's get back to the video this thing definitely needs more work but as far as the engine goes I think we're we're pretty much dialed in maybe a little bit of jetting tweaking that we could do definitely the gearing needs to be changed but as far as like the power delivery and stuff man this thing runs like a freaking rocket ship I don't know if you guys noticed at the end there the idle started to come up a little bit and it got a little bit louder we didn't notice until we got back to the shop but uh the exhaust flange bolts the heads actually snapped off so the exhaust was separating from the cylinder just slightly you can see right there this one snapped off and you can actually see the bottom of the bolt and this one over here is backing off the one down here snapped off that is a result of using alumin umum Hardware which uh just not a good idea easy fix so I think we're good on the power plant I think this thing makes really good power what would make this thing dangerous is going to be the setup so you know we spent a little bit of time on the sand we were out there for maybe an hour but really it would take a lot of going out putting on different tires you know adjusting the suspension changing the gearing and then you know keep going back and seeing what works best to really dial this thing in and make it super fast because I did notice coming out of the hole it's not as impressive as I would have liked you know I've ridden some really fast quads that they give you serious stomach drops out of the hole man and and the front end stays nice and planted even with this 8 in swing arm there were a couple times I launched it that I had to let off because it literally will it will stand up so I think um possibly different tires uh I might need to mess with the suspension a little bit lower it down or something like that and definitely gearing the gearing is way too short uh like I said when I was riding this still has the same gearing from the 309 I unfortunately when I was in in Oklahoma I had all my sprockets out and I left the freaking sprockets in Oklahoma I forgot them so when I got to Nebraska and we worked on this we we had we were stuck with the 309 gears so definitely I think those three things would be key to making this thing super fast because it's out of the hole that makes you super fast on top on the top end man this thing pulls super hard so we could make this a dangerous machine if you're in the drag racing World let me know what I could change up on this thing this is my first draag drag racing build and I mean I think it came out awesome uh super super thankful that you guys followed this series let me know in the comments section below if you've had experiences like this cuz man I'm super proud that you know we got we got it together we we overcame we had the cylinder the nicasil was chipped we smoothed it out made that work we had the Piston oh man what a disaster that was but we fixed it man we welded it up it's in there it's running great uh what else did we have we had you know um the the piston in the dome Rocking Around in the back of the side by side got chipped up smoothed it out got it working and then the crank was the wrong size overnighted the crank had it welded intrude out at po Sports Nation and then we tore down the engine and rebuilt it out at pow Sports Nation we just made it work and uh I'm just super happy with that may not be 100% you know tip toop we get a little bit of some hack work in there but man I think this is awesome so let me know in your in the comments section below if you've ever been getting something ready for a show or an event or a race and you've been doing that same thing rushing till the end and sometimes taking it even to the track or the event and finishing it there because you know I think that's what it's all about it was awesome to see all the people come together and help me super thankful to the companies that made this happen without these companies and without you guys watching these videos I can't do stuff like this so thank you guys so much so for now we're going to wrap up the m380 I would consider this a success make sure to stay tuned when I was out in Nebraska I was at Powersports nation and I got to film a lot of what goes on out there it was some really cool stuff so we're going to have videos on that coming up soon and we also had a little bit of fun out there we had a Razer 900 that was basically like your Granddaddy's uh farm equipment we put it up against the Razer Pro r with like $60,000 of work done to it so that was super fun there'll be a video coming out on that and then we'll be pulling the Corvette in and firing that project back up which I'm super excited for I love all you guys please hit that Thumbs Up Button if
