Baxter 01-18-2012, 07:30 PM Can't start a good thread without a good song.

This year is going to be something differant.
I have a TRX700xx and I have a few bits for the 700rr,which I hope to have something like by the 27th May for a MX race.
Here's what I have so far !
3669
I have a chassis.
3670
I have half a motor with a "duff" crank and the remains of the 1st gearbox ,aka 3 speeder now. The rest are pretty much screwed.
I have a FCR 41 carb of a CRF450r, a 400ex flywheel and a XR650r cylinder head.
Should work, I think. Gunna be fun though. :crazy:
dagirl71 01-21-2012, 08:28 AM Baxter I look forward to following your 2012 Season.
500Rubie 01-21-2012, 07:18 PM Looking forward to see your bike come together. You always put in a lot of pics and vid. I think that you seem to try the things others only may think of but don't have the ability to do. I like that you look to mod the bike and not just look for more power. GOOD LUCK!
Baxter 01-23-2012, 03:21 PM Had a Dirt Track Cross race yesterday and had a great day. Finished 9th overall on the day , so pretty "chuffed". This was a warm up to the race on Feb 12th. Round 1 of the Btitish Dirt Track Championship. Jill took some (alot) of vids but the first one is race 3 with Geoff on the Raptor.

Also Nick aka "Goode" was there for his first time out on his 700xx and he's pinching all my ideas !!!!!!!!! .lol. Was good to meet up with him and have 2 700xx's there.
Baxter 01-25-2012, 07:11 PM Last race of the day ,got ready in the pits and tried to fire her up and nothing . Only light I had on was the "N" light. For those that use a Gunner kill switch, put the laynard in. Second was the left front kept bouncing when I got into 4th gear. This was caused by having 3lbs of clay stuck in youre front rim. Always learning and always tryin.

500Rubie 01-25-2012, 07:35 PM good video, and good pass looks pretty muddy
Baxter 02-05-2012, 10:39 AM Much needed upgrade to get the best out of 4th gear and a 15t front sprocket. Didn't quite have enough coming out of the last corner.

Baxter,
I was looking at that same exhaust kit. Can you tell me if it is the rivet type or bolt, when changing packing? It looks like screws to me, but wanna be sure, while debating. And does it not come with a heat shield for the header pipe?

It's a blast, You got to try it. Far too much fun on a xx.

It is bolted in. As for the heatshield , they do a universal heatshild. The exhaust may need some tweekin though. Let me try it on Sunday and I will post a review it.
Baxter 02-13-2012, 05:50 PM Raced again this Sunday, same track but was the first round of the Quadzilla Dirt Track Cross British Championship. Yes it is quite a title but that's how it goes.
It was a bit slippery, no steering till race 2 with a change of front tyres but everyone out there had problems. Managed to finish 9th overall again but all things considering , we had a good day.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/Baxter58/Dirt%20Track%20Cross/Round1MudDTX002-2.jpg
This was after 3 laps of practice and of course ,I lined up with 4 of the championship contenders and they sent me out first !!!
Here's the vid.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgTjXpz5mxc&list=UUqeVrV9JuvOOIpQaXVMzBBg&index=2&feature=plcp
As you will see at 53 seconds a plume of smoke ,which was caused by a loose valve cover at the back of the head. Luckily on two parts was ,I run 2100ml of oil in the motor and Jill spotting the oil on the back of the motor. Could have been a rebuild so easily . Tightened cover up and had enough oil in the motor ,not to do any damage.
Here's the same line up for race 1, only 1 completed practice (you'll figure out which one). 2 guys quit after this with engine issues and not liking mud.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3z4rO-JZYg&list=UUqeVrV9JuvOOIpQaXVMzBBg&index=1&feature=plcp
There's alot changes ,I would have done after practice but time was not on my side and didn't bring the right tyres and parts. Key note for the future.
All in all , I had a blast and enjoyed it probably a little too much to be healthy. Always tryin ! :D
Baxter 02-13-2012, 05:59 PM Also the Big Gun exhaust leaks a little and needs some tweeking but geeze does it sound good. Also I worked out the EHS programmer settings so the header was not running so "blue". Tweeked "mid" up half one and "high" a full light up (compared to the Barker exhaust). Me had fun. :xx:
M_Quick 02-13-2012, 08:24 PM Looks like you had a dirty good time. And the Big Gun did sound sweet. Did you like the power gain, or could you tell with all the mud?
Baxter 02-20-2012, 05:46 PM Looks like you had a dirty good time. And the Big Gun did sound sweet. Did you like the power gain, or could you tell with all the mud?
The Big Gun exhaust worked real good and gave more power in mid to top power , the mud brought the best outta the exhaust and I would have suffered badly ,running stock exhaust on this track.
I was running a 15t front sprocket and 18" rear tyres,with too much grip, kinda hit the rev limiter too many times in 3rd but it pulled well in 4th down the straights. I like the Big Gun and ordered a Big Gun XR650r exhaust to try and fit to "Frankinstien" build. I wanted to have the same exhaust on the xx and the rr. I had 3 choices "Big Gun","FMF" and Leo Vince. Big Gun offered better $/hp over the 2 others.
aceoutdoor 02-20-2012, 07:19 PM Lee I had a Big Gun on my XR650R motard and it was FAST! I had the HRC intake boot and some other goodies but for basically stock except for exhaust it hauled. 650R's here are known as BRP big red pigs LOL. I miss mine.
dagirl71 02-21-2012, 09:11 PM Baxter once again you don't let us down.... you sure ate some mud :)
M_Quick 02-22-2012, 05:59 PM The Big Gun exhaust worked real good and gave more power in mid to top power , the mud brought the best outta the exhaust and I would have suffered badly ,running stock exhaust on this track.
Did you get all the tweaking done to the exhaust, and the leak to stop?
Baxter 02-22-2012, 06:28 PM Did you get all the tweaking done to the exhaust, and the leak to stop?
Not yet working on it.
Baxter 02-22-2012, 07:21 PM Baxter once again you don't let us down.... you sure ate some mud :)
I got a British Beach Cross race on the 3rd/4th March and then a British Championship Round 1 on the ovals on the 10th March. You'll never guess how much work go's into making pigs fly.
Always tryin'.:D
Baxter 03-05-2012, 07:21 PM I had a great weekend playing in the sand and managed to turn this

Baxter 03-06-2012, 07:52 PM Lee you should have kicked that gorilla off the bike then threw sand all over him. That looks like a really fun race I wish they had something like that around here
All good fun ,buddy. There's always a next time. :D
Baxter 03-12-2012, 05:55 PM Anyways , catching up from last post.
3rd /4th of March was the first and second round of the BXUK Championship at Margate. I tried the last round for a bit of fun in 2011.
Boy was this alot of fun and "pain". Saturday practice was smooth sand and awesome. Qualified for the "B" class or Experts. 1st raced kinda took me by surprise with a wicked start and got a 3rd. After that7th for race 2 and 9th for race 3. They found my line on the start !lol. Finished 6th overal on Saturday.
Sunday , first race 7th. Race 2 , 14th I could not anything right in this one, over shot berms , timing of for the whoops and basically , give up , pulled into the pits ,got rid of the goggle, drank some water and set off making new line for race 3. Race 3, bad start but with the new lines got me up to 9th. Finished 6th oveall on Sunday. For the weekend ,I finished 7th overall.
Next time , I will do better. :D
Baxter 03-12-2012, 06:04 PM 7 days later doing this !

This is maxxed out in 4th with a 15t front sprocket and 18" rears.
So more pics.

Baxter 03-12-2012, 06:07 PM "Paradise found". Full International Speedway Oval.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/Baxter58/CoventryRD1Jill006-2.jpg
Baxter 03-12-2012, 06:16 PM Everything was "maxxed" out ,grip ,guts and motor. I basically had to ride like a speedway bike or I lost all steering. Not for the faint hearted in 4th , 3/4 throttle..
Unless I find some way of making the 700xx handle better , I will always end up outside the top 10. We finished 14th out of 22 and 18 "Pro's". We had a very good day.
All , I have is to try something "Dumb". There's no smiley for this one as it may be A&E for me.
Baxter 03-12-2012, 07:06 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HUJqxfh4Eg&feature=youtu.be
Me and the 700xx had basically no more to try!

SWEET!!
looks like youve been tweaking and got her transfering about perfect. rear tire is rolling just to the edge of the knobs. :D
i always loved looking at pics of me racing to help me see what the bike was doing from the outside. the camera is a powerful tuning tool.
when you can run the corners faster, it turns into faster straight speed. oval is about momentum, 'specially when you are at a power/weight disadvantage.
the only thing i would try (i always figured the other guys were trying to better their stuff so i would try different little singular things to add mid corner speed) would be a little lower ride height? again if you go just an inch, you would know RIGHT away if it was a move in the right direction...or not lol.

Thanks for the input. Lower the front is simple . lowering the rear is where the problems start. The camber changes alot when you lower the rear and I have not thought of a simple soloution to this one unless I run the Kenda Speedracers I was aiming for 3" lower and 2" less width. Currently at 52" ish and 7" ride height.
scrawny 03-14-2012, 09:06 PM its cool, i just think even a little lower will help the feeling coming in to the corner hard more than anything. stiffer right front preload will give confidence also.
if you can beat people to the center you can beat them off. :)
scrawny 03-14-2012, 09:08 PM i said beat them off lol
AusTrx700xx 03-16-2012, 08:29 AM speedway racing is great isnt it! what kind of tyres are you running on the rear? caus it looks like some groving on the tyres to try to get a bit more forward bite out of it wouldnt hurt as it doesnt seem tight/pushy turning in. and what ive found racing speedway on the 700xx (but our tracks have more banking on them is) if i dont straighten up coming out of the turns so much and run up at about the middle of the track i can carry more speed into and through the corners and also she tends to turn in a bit easier.
AusTrx700xx 03-16-2012, 08:33 AM and also running about 10mm toe out, full negitive right hand front camber, positive left hand camber, and i normally run about 5psi left rear and 7-8psi right rear to give the bike more stagger, i would like to run the left rim 1 inch wider than the right and more offset on the right hand rear tyre but the rules wont let me at this stage, but im hoping to have the rules changed at my local speedway to i can get the big girl into no1 spot as 2nd isnt fun after a while
Baxter 03-18-2012, 03:47 AM I love doing speedway , nothing like the feeling of slinging the xx sideways in 4th.
The rears are 18x10.5x8 Kenda Klaw mx tyres on 8x6 DWT rims at 7psi. Fronts are Razr mx 20x6x10 on 2:3 rims at 9 psi. I like this combination it seems to work very well for me. After Coventry though the right rear is looking very worn out especially on the outside 1/2 of the tyre.
Pushing in the corners is where most of my problem is. Let off the throttle and it loses alot of front end grip. It seems to want to go straight forward. The only way I have found to overcome this is to sling the rear end out. Its great if you have room on the track but a nightmare when you catch someone up and have to slow down in the corners.
I do have a set of Goldspeed SX 18x10x10 these have alot of grip and sometimes too much. They making the steering sometimes near impossible to handle. The only cure has been to put a set of 22" Klaw XCF on 4:1 rims to clear it up. I don't why this cures the problem , maybe someone could help out on this one.
Cheers Scrawny and AusTrx700xx for the help and Aus post some pics , I would like to see you're 700.
Baxter 03-21-2012, 07:09 PM Playing around with front shocks.
This is stock length shocks vs LT shocks with Ed's +1 1/4" LT a arms.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/Baxter58/Fun%20Stuff/1xx018-2.jpg
This is stock 450r shocks vs LT shocks on the same setup.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/Baxter58/Fun%20Stuff/2xx001-2.jpg
If only I could match the rears.:D
Baxter 03-21-2012, 07:44 PM This is what is needed to match the front and rear.
This would be a match for the stock length front shocks on LT a arms.
Rear shock length - 18 1/2".
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/Baxter58/Fun%20Stuff/3xx001-1.jpg
This would match the standard length 450r shocks on LT a arms.
Rear shock length - 17"
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/Baxter58/Fun%20Stuff/3xx002-1.jpg
scrawny 03-21-2012, 09:30 PM pretty cool you have alot of stuff to play around with. :D
the reason you are pushing though in my mind is the left rear on an IRS doesnt become light as easy as on solid axle. so the shorter left rear may be the ticket with IRS. when coming into the corner weight transfers forward taking away traction at the shorter left rear first helping steer you into the corner. what about giving it a try at the next practice time? think of a way to cinch the left rear down a fuzz with something. we used to use a cow collar back in the day to keep the rears down ice racing. cheap was the word lol but i would bet you could find something that would work the same. there are limiter straps of all lengths available online.
i would go VERY small at first, maybe 1/2" (if that?) at first. again you will know right away if it is the right diretion or not. the pics are cool but im afraid thats too extreme for your track surfaces. asphalt (tarmac?) maybe but dirt not SO much lol.
whew! carry on ;)
AusTrx700xx 03-22-2012, 08:24 PM ill get some pics up when i get a chance, if you get a practice day or something, try running different pressures in the rear, im not sure if you run cars in the speedway your racing at, but with cars and sprints at speedway if there tight in the corner they will put more stagger in to loosen the car up again,
i go through the same wear issue with the right rear, thats why im looking into adjustable rear camber still, also if you can get more right rear drive it will it will take away some of the tightness especially halfway through till the end of the corner

This makes alot of sense. Been talking to a good friend who knows some stock car drivers and he learnt how they set them up and basically said the same.
As for alot of stuff to play around with ! You should know farmer's never through anything away.lol,
I am glad you said shorter shocks wouldn't work. Got these this morning.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/Baxter58/Frank/Motowozrears005-2.jpg
These will help out "Big time" with racing . I kinda like Jim and Suzi at Motowoz Racing as they worry more about my shocks than me (long story) and glad I have them at all 4 corners. Gives me a little more confidence on race day.
I'll will try the shorter left shock length and try to update the cow collar (lol) and THANK YOU for you're help.

Ed is making a +1 height -1 back stem for the xx and I'll ask him about building something for the rear.
Baxter 03-23-2012, 07:50 PM Also Jim at Motowoz has started building steering dampners.
http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/Baxter58/Fun%20Stuff/Jimssteeringdampner.jpg
He's working on a fitting kit for the 700xx and next on the list.:D
Baxter 03-25-2012, 06:57 PM Just ordered 2 Kenda Kutters 18x8x8 XC 6ply rears for the xx. :D
Baxter 04-01-2012, 05:40 PM PBI 38t sprockets arrived, look like the stock one ,just made out of ali.
Hope this link works , these are pics from the night in Coventry.

Baxter 04-04-2012, 06:38 PM Ordered DWT 8x6 A5 rims from Atv Galaxy, Oval race on 21st April , on grass.Should be fun.:D
Baxter 04-13-2012, 07:35 PM Pick tyres in the morning , hopefully the rims will be here in time for next Sundays race. My screw up not Matt's at Atv Galaxy. oops.
New track , new rear shocks,new gearing and a hole lot of praying , something better than 14th overall.
AusTrx700xx 04-16-2012, 09:08 PM Ordered DWT 8x6 A5 rims from Atv Galaxy, Oval race on 21st April , on grass.Should be fun.:D
How did you manage to get 8" rims to fit, I thought that there were clearance issues with anything smaller than a 10" and what hubs are you running?
Baxter 04-18-2012, 06:15 PM How did you manage to get 8" rims to fit, I thought that there were clearance issues with anything smaller than a 10" and what hubs are you running?
I could tell you but then have to shoot you !lol.
I'm running modified 450r rear hubs.It gives the clearance needed to run 8",9" and flipped 3:5 10" rims.
Kinda like running the TRX420 hubs with a little more width.
D Bergstrom 04-18-2012, 08:02 PM Also Jim at Motowoz has started building steering dampners.
He's working on a fitting kit for the 700xx and next on the list.:D
Spoke to Jim about these weeks ago. Can't wait to try one out. I think both us should keep bugging him untill he gets the 700XX mount done!

Baxter 04-22-2012, 03:39 PM Raced on Saturday and well had a bad day , almost embarrassing really . Got some vids both from Jill and using the Liquid Image goggles (which won't play properly on windows media player !!!!!).
The xx does well on the small ovals but on the bigger ones , it's easy to find the limits of the handling and motor. Don't want to do too much to the motor as this is my XC and Beach Cross engine.
Anyways gonna lower the xx and found a a-arm that might help out with changing the camber on the rear.
From what I have guessed the upper a-arm needs to be about 10mm shorter.

Baxter 04-28-2012, 03:15 PM It rained on and off all day with alot of sunshine. The track dried out alot and we struggled. The no steering appeared too much and the track started getting potholes in it. Not fun in 4th sideways.

AusTrx700xx 04-29-2012, 04:26 AM love the over under move in race 1, how close are you to maximum width? i have watched both the vids bout 15-20 times trying to see if ican pick up on anything that will help me, after watching the 2nd vid i would be half tempted to try a 1 or 2 inch spacer on the right hand rear (as lond as it doesnt put it outside the track of the right hand front) which will loosen to bike coming into the corners but it will also keep the front left wheel down a bit more which will help with the bit of push your getting about half to 3/4 way through, and more negative camber right front and positive camber left front (top of both wheels leaning to the clutch lever side) wouldnt hurt,
not tryign to teach you how to suck eggs, just thought i would throw in a few speedway set up points that helped me some
AusTrx700xx 04-29-2012, 04:27 AM you wouldnt hapen to have a set of the hyper style rear rims would you where cou can pull them apart, or even another rim thats about a inch wider for the left hand rear would you?

I have some rims coming from the US that , I can play with on you're first idea. As for width the rear is slightly wider than the front and I have noticed the "breaking" loose into the corners which I quite enjoy !!!!!! I work on some of the settings for the front end.
As for sucking eggs , you'll never offend me , I get those via PM's. lol.

As above and Cheers Ace. :D
Baxter 05-02-2012, 06:20 PM Picking new 8" rims up tomorrow, if I have got my calculations right they should work with the TRX420 hubs.
DL700 05-03-2012, 05:13 AM did u get OMF wheels? the ones with the bolt in centers would allow u to easily stagger them by 1/2 or more
crwh45 05-03-2012, 12:45 PM Lee, could you try leaning more into the corner? When I do a lot of swooping in high gear, I get my arse right off the seat and pretty much put it on my inside heel. I've done this on the XX and all my SRA's, and found it helps a lot. It puts you out of place for rear brake if needed though along with the shifter. Looking good though for a Senior Citizen :)

There DWT 8x6 with a 2:4 offset A5 rims that were built to go on a 90cc Viper. There supposed to be stronger than the black label DWT 8x6 rims , I am using now with the reworked 450r hubs.

3862
Going to put the 18x8x8 Kutters on tomorrow.

I usual have right butt cheek on the outside edge of the left fender. The motor didn't have enough to go to that stage. Started first practice with 15/38 then changed to 14/38 for second practice. I am going back on 5th June for a fun day . Going to try 13/38 with a S3 cam.
The problem I have is I have to choose a tyre before the first race and stick to it. I get points deducted for flipping or changing tyres. Should have used the Kenda speedracers but didn't and was praying for rain all day. Didn't get enough from the "Gods" to make the Klaws work. Still learning and trying !:D
Baxter 05-06-2012, 05:15 PM Got the tyres and the first pic is compared to the stock 450r Dunlop 20x10x9 which I use for beach cross.

This is how they look mounted on the rear.

It may look wide but it is not on the T-Rexx , it's just that the front is too narow. :D
Still learning.:crazy:

Always tryin ! :D
Crash21 05-06-2012, 06:30 PM That thing sit about 56" wide or so?
fraiolib 05-07-2012, 07:07 AM Are you allowed to stagger your tire size?
Baxter 05-08-2012, 02:25 PM That thing sit about 56" wide or so?
51" wide. I measured it quite a few times , I thought also it would have been wider.
Are you allowed to stagger your tire size?
Yes but that may get abit scary in the straights. I can handle no steering in the corners but have it turn on the straights, I'll let you try that one first. :tup:

i dont flat track with the wheeler, but thats how we do it with the karts
Baxter 05-08-2012, 06:00 PM i dont flat track with the wheeler, but thats how we do it with the karts
Point noted but the 700xx doesn't handle like 450r or a Kart on the ovals. There's alot of curve balls involved.
