I added rear suspension to Zachary's Jeep he wanted it to be like Dad's buggy. I think they like it. Zachary saw Speed Racer and now he always wears his Speed Racer helmet and glasses to drive.I have ben working on my buggy some more. In the first half of the video I have re-timed the engine and re-jetted the carbs. After tuning the engine I broke the drive chain, you can hear it skipping when I launch about half way through the video. So I changed out the sprockets and chain for the next larger size. In the proccess I also changed the "rear end" gear ratio from 3.28 to 4.77. After you see Zachary and Macey in the wheel I have the new gear ratio, it made a huge difference. Way more torque off the line.
