Part it out. RERs are not that cool, and hard work to mod, everything is pretty stuffed together

Nah don't part it out, RER's are cool and there aren't very many being built. Option 3 sounds the best, maybe lower the frame to keep the centre of gravity down.

Oh. I scrapped and parted out the RER 2 of my buds wanted to build, and then just said they do'nt want to build it anymore once I showed them the list of parts we need....

As @AllisKidD21 will point over the steering geometry on that thing is hack! It doesn't corner very well. I'd like to see bigger front tires on it. I like the frame strengthening they did and I love the power and sound of that motor. One of my favorite builds cars and cameras has done. Actually there original mower build is how I discovered their channel.
