Blade 250XTX

I am in the process of assembling the XTX. so far it has gone very well, The quality of the frame, welds, and the overall engineering is great.

Alot of thought went into this buggy. Battery placemebt is alot better, it ahs adjustable brake bias so the owner can add more rear brake or front brake. The parking brake is Hydraulic instead of a cable pulling the caliper. Holding on a hill should be no trouble.

I have a performance exhaust that I belive will fit so I will post on that later. The cvt cover is very easy to get to, the shifter is nice and functions well. going from high to low you still have to stop. but it only takes a secound to bump the shifter.

The winch is mounted very well and the switch is by the oh crap handle, easy enough to get to. Winch has power out and in, with a neutral.

Shocks are nice, the rear are resivor style and adjustable, the fronts dont have the resivor but are adjustable as well.

I will post more as the assembly continues.

I havent taken out for a shake down yet, but with it on jack stands. 52 mph in high. then the rev limiter kicks in. 28 in low before the the rev limiter kicks in

I will try and get a shake down run as soon as get some other stuff done.
