There's an equilibrium number that allows to to float across terrain instead of using the tires for cushion. If you go higher than this number, you get no traction. If you go less, the ride is too hard. The best way is to get to this number is put a bathroom scale under each corner and try to adjust the weight between 2-10 lbs. with you in the buggy.

You really need to go the hydrogen route. I figured out that at 5000 RPM you can generate enough hydrogen with the electrolysis jar to attach a welding hose. I just need to but a center stand on the buggy and a throttle lock. Pop the buggy up on the stand, run the engine up to 5K, set the cable lock and crack open the valve. The hydrogen will melt any mixture or thickness of metals on your buggy, but it takes a while to get used to not seeing a flame.


Eeeek! wow i think i will just stick to putting some summer air in my tires.i've been known to be a over do-er and afraid i will either float clean out of sight or burn down the woods with these mods Laughing
i will say one thing you guys are a bunch of cards Cool

Speaking of helium, does anyone know where I can get some hard to find parts? part umbers are as follows BA 1100 N, ST ring? I need them to replace the winter air out for summer air, as suggested.

That part should be somewhere close to where you find ballasts and lawn chairs.
