Well, spring has sprung and things are starting to kick into gear!
We've spent most of the off season (Us North East guys anyways), meeting manufacturers, camp ground and land owners, members and customers and learning the in's and out's of CN/CF250 and the GY6 engines and parts development for them in an effort to build the best, helpful organization there is in the buggy world.
To that end, KidNme Motorsports has made friends with a great company in Tiawan, MotoRio. They manufacture Performance parts and are working with us to provide better quality parts that will make the most out of our upgrades. Many upgrades as we know them now are better than stock but are in no way "the best way" to do it. Tiawan takes pride in their quality in manufacturing and we are glad to help MotoRio enter into the United States to show us why the Chinese parts we are now getting, are inferior in every way.
We are finding that there are some changes we need to make to have them work as they should in a buggy. Many of the CVT parts we dealers sell are made with a scooter weight in mind. Our buggies are heavier and need a different setup for better results. We are testing some new parts from MotoRio in the near future that should allow us to get a lot more "ooomph" out of the type parts we're now using AND, as a bonus, we should be able to keep the pricing down for our members!!
As an example,
In development is an exhaust system that will create a little more back pressure in order to improve on the low end torque in our buggies. At this time, we will develop only the top 4 buggies in the 150 and 250 range due to money constraints.
We are also trying out a clutch system that is almost half the width & weight of the standard clutch to improve on the power transfer in a buggy.
We are testing a new digital CDI/Coil package that will do wonders for your top end and eliminates the length issue we have on some buggies and
we've tested and approved a new variator that is lighter and moves more air for both the 150 and 250 buggies!!
So much going on and only so many hours in a day! 
On the riding side, KidNme is picking up a couple 150's to lend out at rallies, charity functions and members who are in the "looking stage". We hope to build a large fleet of these "loaner buggies" so we can travel with them to areas all over the U.S. promoting this sport.
Our illustrious VP of operations Vincent Kruse, has been busting tail with land owners to develop rental properties where new members can go to rent a buggy and existing members can go to ride.
We have a few places in development and hope to have a few new places for everyone to ride this summer!
As a side note, Tom & Ryan at KidNme will be putting out a whole new set of upgrade videos this season so get your requests in now before we start filming!
All in all, we are 1 year better and about 3 leagues & 40 members stronger than 2008!
Our MBRA members will see the benefits of our labor this summer! Stay tuned and Join the MBRA!
NEW PARTS FOR OUR MBRA MEMBERS!!!
