Hey trailblazer there are some after market bumpers out there that people are putting on buggies but I would have to look for the links and don't have time. Tower hobbies was one of them unless your looking for a Rubber baby buggy bumper. Say that 5 times as fast as you can and have some fun with it [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

Ok that mean you slide you clutch to much. The idle need is to high. Take a look. To clean it try it with heat. Or with solvant.

If it ideling to high, the clutc will try to bit but the presure wont be enought so your cluch will slide and in the futur you cluch will melt and you'll have to buy an other one :S...

to upgrade to a 2 speed i think you need a longer crank shaft for the longer clutch bell " also it was me that took the disc out of the muffler. i never put it back. it goes faster, and makes more noise. it is a whole different car without it. way faster. i don't think you will blow you engine without it. i haven't. i think it is just a noise suppressor. it restricts flow, and thats a bad thing.
