Tom, If you're still active in the XR3 Group, the members may be interested in my Twitter address, which I set up specifically to keep folks updated on the...
Thank you. It is good to receive updates about the XR3. I am excited about the vehicle! Christian ... "The current recommendation for health-promoting regular...
Here are some excerpts that I thought were interesting. I was beginning to think that that the XR3 was all smoke and mirrors like any good magic show. The...
Does anyone have info from Riley to clear up these discrepancies on the plans? fa-sm-13 and 26 - dwg says .120, dxf says .250 fa-sm-22 (bat box) - has...
Fa-sm-26 would be fine at .120 or .125 it is the rear transmission mount. .25 would be overkill. Fa-sm-13 is the front upper shock absorber mount and I ordered...
I've been watching these since they had 78 in stock. They were down to 56 this week. I was hoping to get the money for one together before they ran out,...
I built an electric trike and I will be re-building it to fix some things and document it for kit building. I’m starting an “open source” forum, email...
does it make sense to combine these two parts into one waterjet-cut part? why wouldn't they be? I was going to weld them together anyway before building up the...
I'm sorry if I missed it, but has anyone determined if these are the same D902 model that Mr. Riley recommends? I seem to remember some discussion about a...
In hindsight, I would cut it out as 1 piece. I saw no benefit of having 2 seperate pieces. It is a much better idea to simply NOT drill the bottom mount hole...
This engine was built for a joint Kubota and Thai tractor. Everything appears to be the same except it is tier 2 certified. It comes with radiator, glow plug...
That site is awesome. Though I wish it sold the Daihatsu 58A447 :( I've been searching for a surplus of that ICE but can never seem to find one. Perhaps you...
A company called Speedway Motors has quite a few things that pertains to the XR3. (heims, brake line tabs, electrical, etc.) Their catalogs are free and they...
From what I have read, the Kubota engines for generator use are designed for constant fixxed rpm and would not work for vehicle use. Engines designed for...
I sent this question to Bob Riley- " Does anyone have info from Riley to clear up these discrepancies on the plans? fa-sm-13 and 26 - dwg says .120, dxf says...
... Bob Scoville- Thanks for weighing in with your opinion on this. Looks pretty much the same as the answer I got from Bob Riley- (Have we got too many Bob's...
Wow, I am so impressed with the progress that has occurred in the last year! You guys are awesome! I was reviewing the site, and cleaning up a few things and I...
... Awesome progress, Bob. Thanks for documenting your build. I hope you don't mind, but I renamed your album with both your first and last name, to...
Sometimes it is Mom that keeps things on track. I'll try to follow more closely, as I am able. From: xr3car@yahoogroups.com [mailto:xr3car@yahoogroups.com] On...
I forwarded this question to Bob Riley: "Does it make sense to combine these two parts (FA-SM-9, 10 parts) into one waterjet-cut part? why wouldn't they be? I...
I wanted to chime in and comment that I believe there is a 3 degrees slope (forward or backwards, I forget) that would need to be accommodated for the...
Added a link to a sister Yahoo group, Thundersky. These guys are buying huge shipping containers full of Thundersky lithium-ion batteries every month, and...
Hi Bob. I have 1 pic in the photo album called 'recent XR3 build pics'. Could you make an album for it? Usualloy I post my progress pics on my own website,...
