Yup, seriously when i picked up the frame i could lift it with like 2 fingers, then with everything in it, 1 person can carry it easy
2 people and its just like doing nothing

DVSKATE, what's the average length of pull on your winch? 20 seconds? Figure you are on it full throttle for 4-5 seconds while deep starting... kinda hard to "over rev" your engine in 4 seconds. But nice try.

TAD, That is almost exactly what i was gonna say. The length of time u are on it, its sooo hard to over rev it Razz

JonnyBravo, Don't listen to me, he makes the only legit frames on the market so far so he is probably right. Cool

DVSKATE, removing the govenor dosnt hurt the engine... people who race gocarts remove them all the time and over rev the engine for long periods of time without damage to the engine... grow a brain Smash
