ATC nut checking in! I currently own one 200cc, two 110's, a 250cc big red es, as well as a 250cc trx four trax. Lots of them have issues and are under restoration. These things have been getting abused since the 80's and still keep on ticking!

The problem is that parts are getting harder and harder to find for these things. I will take some pictures and post them later on.

yeah i just picked up a 86 trx 125 no suspension is fun as hell. our old one just went under the knife for rear axle bearings found out the hubs where loose and one of the axle jamb nuts where pretty much destroyed. probably took out the axle bearings... but yeah hook up some pictures of this stuff.

I was starting to get worried i was the only one on here that still likes these sketchy things..post some pics of these things. i really wanna find a 250r, cant imagine it running on meth and a 370. thats gunna but fun as hell. we have a 185 trimoto we used for parts and we might try to make it a trailer to pull behind the 200s'

heres the scoop on tonight. just tore down the rear brakes on the new shitty one to find the brakes are gutted... awesome, ordered the shoes and return springs, new carb for the shitty one should be here tomorrow or saturday. see how this $40 shipped carb is gunna be. also have a couple recoil springs on the way seeing we keep heating and bending the ends and they last for a couple rides before they snap. they should show up with the carb.

here is macgyver giving one of them some love


the fleet


al tipping over on a power wheelie. dunno why our old one has so much power, in our second vid up there jake did the same thing

Nice forum thread, never had one myself, lots of friends did though. For those of you in the New England area, I did see the largest ATC boneyard of my life in Saco Maine last year.
