Re: Fun-Key Jet Ranger 700 Sport

More ongoing work to the gear. I finally used good old fashioned detective work to get the actual height and proper length of the skid tubes from pictures I have of an original Jet Ranger with me standing by it. I used my own height and landmarks on the Jet Ranger to show me where the skids begin and end. I used the Fun-Key hardware a bit different than they had designed but there are still four screws to be placed in the body mounted parts. I will be adding a riser under the front cross tube mount to raise the nose a bit more than it is. The gear will be cut 22mm (7/8") so the body will sit at the correct height. I you compare the gear in the pictures above to the last one, you will see how different they look. The second last picture shows the tools I used, less the cordless drill and MIPS hex driver, to shorten the tubes and mount the gear. Take care.

Don
