Our All-New Experimental Off-Road Beast: Built for Power, Durability & Innovation
Weβre thrilled to unveil our latest in-house creation β an experimental off-road vehicle that merges modular flexibility with serious performance upgrades. Designed from the ground up using the foundation of the FA270 XHT frameworkβ this project is all about pushing boundaries while keeping things accessible and budget-friendly.
The Vision: Performance Meets Practicality
This isnβt just a showcase β itβs a testbed for premium components from our catalog.
Our goal? Build a high-quality, heavy-duty off-roader thatβs more powerful, more durable, and more refined, without veering into over-the-top territory.
We're focused on:
Experimenting with premium upgrades that are available on our catalog while maximizing durability with heavier-duty components. Importantly, keeping the build within a realistic budget and without tampering with the original chassis or extensive fabriaction.
π οΈ Letβs Dive Into the Build
Chassis & Frame
Building with our base model FA270XH
Adavanced front end and extended frame, built to comfortably accommodate both teens and adults.
Key upgrades include:
Pinion rack steering system for tighter turns and improved drivability.
Front hydraulic brakes integrated into a three-way system (front + rear), ensuring serious stopping power.
Half-cage cockpit with side bars and canopy roll cage for extra safety and a sleek look.
Door nets to block debris and add an aggressive aesthetic.
Seating & Safety
Out with the plastic, in with the premium:
A double XL fiberglass seat for snug, secure seating β wider at the base, tight around the waist.
Although not shown in early photos, weβve also included a 4-point safety harness for added protection.
The Rear End: Total Overhaul
We gutted the stock rear components and installed:
A 40mm solid axle with full-length keyway for adjustable positioning.
Pillow block bearings, CNC hubs, and axle collars to eliminate lateral shifting.
A 51-tooth sprocket and 428 O-ring H-chain (motorcycle grade) for bulletproof power transfer.
Wheels & Tires
Front: 16x8x7 on aluminum rims with double XL knobby treads.
Rear: 18x9.5x10 β bigger, wider, and more aggressive to dominate rough terrain.
Engine & Powertrain: Beast Mode Activated
448cc motor, producing a raw 23β25 HP (up from the stock 16 HP).
Enhancements include:
Governor removal
Billet flywheel
Heavier valve springs
PWK 34 slide carburetor (with adapter)
Pod air filter (not in images, but its there)
40Series CVT Torque converter
β translating into punchier acceleration and higher top speed.
Fuel Tank Relocation
One of the smartest changes we made was relocating the fuel tank to the center of the vehicle, away from the rear. This improves the center of gravity, which means better balance, less rear-end weight, and more stability. A new fuel pump takes care of feeding the carb.
Final Thoughts
This build may be experimental, but itβs already ticking every box: performance, safety, modularity, and sheer off-road excitement.
Weβre proud of how itβs come together using only components available in our catalog today.
