  • I explain and ride my new 2004 Joyner Mini Sand Viper 800. It's an 800cc turbo, 110 hp, four speed stick shift, rear engine, rwd, race gas buggy. It is a blast to ride and there will be much more of this content on the channel. Let me know what you think!

    This blows my mind haha I can't get my stock 800cc to run right. Rebuilt it when I got it, had bad rings. And this one's turbo'd 🤷‍♂️ 🤣 badass

    Nice machine. Didn't think they'd make 110bhp. I have a Joyner 650. But fitted a Civic D15B engine. Running 130bhp😂

      What did you do for axles?

    • @colmmorley
      @colmmorley 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luckily the honda axle and original joyner axles were both 25mm diameter. So cut them in half, welded them back together at correct length needed, also had to sleeve it for strength. Half honda half joyner. The whole conversion cost me €250 with basic enough tools. If you can do all the work yourself you save alot of money 💰

    • @MickelsonRacingChannel
      @MickelsonRacingChannel  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought about doing that too, do you have any troubles with vibration after cutting and sleeving them?

    • @colmmorley
      @colmmorley 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nope no vibrations. Presume the CV joint itself takes the vibration out.

      @@MickelsonRacingChannel Chain whips shatter bone and teeth like nothing. Some video recorded fatalities in the Jeeping community of chains snapping and decapitating or punching holes in skulls so large you’d think they were impaled by a telephone pole. Tow straps will never fail and do that.
      I take chances too. Just food for thought next time you need to pick between chain and fabric. Seen some fabric ones that can do 35,000+ lbs

    • @MickelsonRacingChannel
      @MickelsonRacingChannel  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I enjoyed it. Mine had a turbo and made twice the power of stock, so I cannot speak to a machine with stock horsepower. The longevity of the machine was not great, but that was due to the turbo system. Overall it was a great budget option to a side-by-side.
