Post by: fox_racin4 on December 19, 2006, 07:36:22 pm
hey i think i have this figuered out.  well its my cub cadet with a 14 vangaurd. looks slow or corners cause it is becuase of 1. carb needs tuning/ adjusting for the bottom end and 2. cant stay on the seat 2 keep te rpm up so it wont bog. but i still have to work out the lil bugs on it

heres the vid

haha lol its a stock 14 notin speacial it sounds so wierd like at idle it sounds diff  and it so quite u can hear the valves lol. then when its opend up  its louder. i wanna make a new exaust theres a pic of it some where on here. its hittin about 5000 rpm wit stock springs from 1990 ( as old as i am lol) so once i throw some new ones in it yey i stil have some work to do on it like side bar and front bumper and get all the bugs outa it.  heres a diff link to the vid.

Looks like you got the video working like it's supposed to. Or, at least it's working great on my connection anyhow.

Looks like the little yellow gitter works pretty good, my imagination or are you picking up a push when you get back in the throttle coming out of the turns?

good im glad i got it workin.

nope no pushing in corners but it looks like it cause it goin alil sideways. it might push threw corners when i can take them a lil faster lol. i dont know why some people say you have more traction with rear engine mowers lol. first day i had it out it was a lil wet/damp and i could not keep it straight i just went sideways.  i will try and get some better vids of it for u guys.

Just appears to go wide on you about the time you stand on it coming out of the corners, maybe it's your preferred line. Looks really good going in and most of the way through the corner, then you go wide coming out was why I asked. Watching you on it the weight all appears between the wheels and it really shouldn't if you have air pressure right.

I still love the looks of that thing, it is just plain cool man! That is one bad looking little rear engine mowchine. I love it!!

reason for going wide is cause i am halfway off the seat cause i got nuttinm holding me on it.  i go where ever the mower handles best on the track im on.  i like the look also. when ifirst got it i was like yey supermod here i come >:D  it also turns so good and i have only let a few psi out of right front and left rear. other 2 are at 20 psi so with some tweeking with that it will turn even better.

thanks kyle

Drop those two by half...and tweak from there and you might really start hooking up...

It's pretty sweet to start seeing some rear engine racers now, Not to many of them around for racing these days.......

squidd     i havent been on the mower for more then i gunna guesse 45 min. but i am gettin new rims and stuff ( 7.25 aluminminm i have 5.25 right now) and i only have 2 tracks to set it up to and they are both longer then the usual racks we race on so.


i think i will be the only rear engin supermod unless rob will keep his johndeer goin.  will hopefully have new vids after the week end if i take it out.

Looks like you were going some what fast for a little yard to, and your motor sounds better than a Harley.
