Test Drive
The build is almost done. Will try to post some pics. Very happy with it. Took it out for a good shakedown on the weekend and ran it hard. Some crazy hill climbs with stumps to go over during the climb. Would not have had a chance without the Lokka up front. BUT discovered the weak steering linkage issue and repeatedly smashed my center link into the frame. AND as you know all of the common kits are no longer being produced. I know a lot of people didn't like their Calmini kit so maybe there is one out there I could buy? Here is my idea for a fix to the calmini bushing issue. I would like to swap out the idler for the modified Pitman steering box as I saw somebody do. A very nice solution to have a very strong idler and no bushings to worry about. I'd like to machine the shaft of the pitman shaft for an interference fit with the calmini idler arm. I think that would give me the benefits of the calmini system without the issue of the wearing bushings. Anyway, if somebody gas a Calmini system they want to sell me please let me know.
