Man, I want a sandrail so bad.... But there no sand in Chicago!!


I like the erect TID\Filter setup you have there.

 

Sup sandrail buddy. Any pics of the rail in full? I work for Wicked Sand Toys in Riverside. One of the better ones we made was this one: http://www.wickedsandtoys.com/galler...page/page2.htm

Its nice to see some rotaries still out there. They all died out after the LSx craze. Even Redline junked all of their rotary stuff.
Who made the chassis?

 

here are some pics of the rail in full for ya.. the chassis is from prowlers in santa clarita.. i do a few select rails,rotary powered only! for the guys that want to be "outside the box".. most of the sandrail guys are very trendy, first it was rotary, then subaru, now its ls1, ls2 twin turbo $100,000 sand toys.. oh and for the record,ill stick with the rotary until i die, unlike redline

 

Last year I called up Redline hoping they would have plenty of used side irons only to find out a week before I called they threw 800 lbs of rotary stuff away. =( The torque of the lsx is very nice, but the extra weight can throw it off a bit.

I noticed they are using DJ Safety belts on that rail. Our company moved to them after one bad weekend with Crow seatbelts. I'm sure you heard, one guy in a Funco died because the shoulder straps tore away from the lap belt, and our buisness partner/part owner of Wicked almost died for the same reason. All on the same weekend.

 

That is extremely nice. I hope to build something like that soon but with a 600 cc motor cycle motor i have lying arond. Thats awsome man.

 

That turned out pretty nice! Good work guys!

Rotary buggies are the best...because there is so much room to do things!!!

 

looks great. how bout a sound clip?

 

seeing this awsome sand rail makes me wanna gut my rx7 and install a full cage

but anyways you have a great setup man and long live the rotary!

 

Hey Rob We got a similar project going on. Im going to put my old rotary on a dune buggy sand rail thats my cousins. I was just wondering what kind of tranny you have on there and what you had to do to get it to match up with the rotary. Is there an adapter plate in there like your t5 mustang tranny ones or what? I think the tranny on his is a VW onw or something. Ill probably be calling you soon.

Thanks man
Josh

 

josh, your right, its an adapter plate that goes between the bug tranny and the rotary motor. the adapter kit consists of a bug flywheel modded to fit a mazda counterweight, adapter plate and all the hardware needed to attach the two. cost is around $450.00. it will fly because the bug is so light call me

 

Nice work Mr. Robert, Keep up the good work as alway's...
