Full Version: A 'busa Rhino!

Ive read a thread about a guy wanting to do a 'busa powered Rhino and everybody was saying,"just buy a mini rail.". Yes whats the point of turning a rhino into something that its not meant to be but then again THATS THE POINT. I know theres a lot of HIGH BALLER STATUS people on here so why hasnt someone done it yet. Do it just to say you have.

Another thing, Coming back from California during Thanksgiving weekend i noticed what looked to be a fulley decked out DRAG rhino. It was sikk. It had real skinny tires up front and real fat paddles in the rear. The suspension seemed to be the same type of suspension that would be On a true drag banshee. Does anyone know the owner, or has anyone seen this Beast?
IF so let me know...

There are a few people putting street bike motors in rhinos. I am one of them. I am using a CBR929rr for mine and there are a few others using different motors. And yes it is stupid. The only thing left from my rhino is the plastic hood and the center frame rails, other than that not even a single bolt from the rhino is there.

Lol
SHOCKER
All these rhino's need higher horse power motors to pull their huge beadlock wheels, 4 seat cages, stereo equipment, light bars, batteries, and coolers. But wtf, why not? lol
duneatic52
I still like the 454 idea too. lol. IM in auto at school and there was a motor out of a geometro and it was really close to the same size as the stock motor. Plus it would be a lil faster, maybe you could bore it out?.?.?.?

Here are a couple of new pics. I cut the front end off this weekend and rebuilt it. It will now have center mounted a-arms and 18-20" of travel in the front and trailing arms with 18" of travel in the rear.

Before any of you say it. Yes I know it's not a rhino any more.

There is also a pic of the wheelbase mocked up. The red beadlocked wheel is the size and type I will be using. The other is just for mock up. You can also see the motor and gearbox set in the frame. It is alot smaller and lighter than the stock set up.

They already use geo metro motors in an offroad vehicle. It's called a joyner from china.

Both Score and MDR are open. I will not be able to race the rhino class at Bitd. After looking at it today it looks like I will also be able to run class 10. peace.gif
