Vikes79 longship rebuild thread

Removed the clunky speaker setup that came with the buggy and the poorly located pod lights.

Added a new sticker holder.

Easily +40 hp from the OG NTC sticker from @Mudwing.

I buy a LESS expensive part from @SuperATV and get all kinds of stickers..who knew?🤷‍♂️

I bought a pigtail splice from the club store and this cheap led license plate bracket with 3rd light.

Gonna trim it a bit and put it on the exhaust shield.

I kind of like that sticker location… still debating though…

Battery gave up the ghost last week. Won’t hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

Decided to try this $50 battery for the time being as I’m planning on relocating the battery to another location anyway with a much larger reserve capacity battery and skipping the whole isolator bs.

Mighty Max battery fits perfectly. Had to bend the dog leg out of the terminals but otherwise it’s a good fit. Has slightly less ah vs stocker (18 vs 20) but it pops just as good as my P1k5, and it’s considerably less than the stock replacement.

Got the 3rd light finished this afternoon.

Here’s how I installed the light.
