Hi

I'm new here but have noticed that several of us are building
the Kinetic/Panda M-ATV's.

Both kits have their faults but the biggy is the lack of engine.

The M-ATV uses a Cat C7 powerplant as we know,(yes we know but there's no kit avaliable,I hear you say).

Wrong! anyone looked at Legend's Stryker engine set lately.
It's a cat C7 unit.

Going to use one in my Panda kit,will post some pic as soon as I find my camera.

Are you sure ? I don't have the impression they are the same.

I believe it is the same basic engine, but configured vastly different between the two vehicles. You may be able to use the basic block, but would have to scratch-build or modify pretty much everything else on it.

Well Henk, I try to keep busy. We should see a new HMMWV variant soon as well.

Honestly, my main interest right now is to finish the bike.
I got home 1 1/2 weeks ago after a two month absence, and had just a few days to spend on the bike. It took a day and a half just to get the strings routed through the frame to pull the wiring through. Started final assembly today but now have to be gone another week and a half. I'll send you pics.
