this is what im building i just ran out of time to fine tune them after making all the adjustments

OK, I thought they made it wider also. I'm happy with the width and would rather not have to get axles as well.

You back to testing and getting her dialed in? I wonder if the the arms need to be a smidge shorter. If the arm is too long it may pull the joints apart enough to explode during use.

When we built a mini baja buggy one of they guys on my team calculated the max a-arm length so it would not overextend the axles throughout the travel arc.

Yeah I'm curious of the travel your getting as well, awesome project.

I'm envious of the can-am maverick trail getting 10"F-10.5"R travel but still at 50" wide.

Awesome. Stock p5 would have definitely tipped in that hole. I bet you have 10" of travel on that thing based on that video!
