Adam490's Short Bus Budget Build

Bought new from Honda Powersports of Covington. Went with the P1k5 after riding a few times with my daughter on my Rubicon and realizing we needed something more secure and comfortable to fit the whole family. She's been dubbed the Short BusView attachment 142813

Just got home from RRB. Tires were pretty damn impressive on the rocks. Not that great in the mud unless you spin them up to clean them out. Had an awesome time riding with my daughter (she's 3). This was her first real trail ride and her first road trip with just dad (wife couldn't get out of work). @Plumber32 had his kids and @Bad_bowtie brought his boy along as well. It was a blast!

Thanks! She's a great riding buddy. All the kids were on that trip; not a complaint from any of them.

Yep, locked into her 5 point car seat in the middle seat. It was a very slow controlled tip. I told her to hold on, yellow was going to take a nap and she laughed the whole way over. Car seat gets double ratchet strapped in and the tether over the harness bar locked to the tie down in the front of the bed. It doesn't move.

🤔....I'll make sure and remember that term in case we ever lay ours to "take a nap". It's a "controlled tip" honey, I swear!! 😂😂😂

You'll learn Padawan 😁 . There is very much a "controlled tip" versus a flop.

I think @Bad_bowtie wife caught it in the background when she was filming. There was a small rock ledge I couldn't see at the bottom of the section I was coming down and it caught the front passenger tire. It started to lean so I turned into it and it tilted back the other way but the damn sticky tires don't give. I tapped the brakes and let it just lay over into the bank. If it had been just me in the buggy I would have hammered on the gas and probably got over that ledge and not turned over, but if it didn't straighten out it would have flopped over much harder.

Ok now a serious question from a "tipping" rookie. What do you do, Do you turn machine off? Or does it die on its own (tip sensor)?

Always turn it off ASAP!

Depends on if you have guys there that can tip you back over pretty quick. I was leading in this case so I just killed it because I knew I'd be sitting there for a minute while they got to me. It'll still run with it on its side for a bit before that tip sensor kills it, so if you know you're going through a section where you are likely to tip, and guys are standing around, they can usually push you back over and you can go on your way without it killing. Best practice is to let it sit for a few minutes before starting it back up just so the oil has a chance to flow back where it is supposed to.

Yeah I really think the Rad Customs is worth it, very well built but could of been a hair bigger on all sides.

That's what I figured, just wanted to make sure and ask a expert tipper 😉

Agreed. Needs to be a tad bigger

 

[Adam490]

I noticed it was a little tight in the Neutral position and then when dropping to Low it rubs on the right side. I took a razor knife to those and trimmed away a bit. He should definitely knock a few mm off his print file for those since it wouldn't hurt anything.

Love those pics Adam! Looks like everyone had a great time. Laying one over is no big deal, I’ll bet she took it like a champ!

 

[Adam490]

Feel like I've neglected the old girl lately. She's only been used to haul firewood and a few trips around the neighborhood.

I did get to get her out and bring my buddy from MO fishing over Christmas break. It had stormed the day before and no fish were to be had, but we had a damn good time.
