Jim continued work on the steering system today. I flopped the truck on its roof to allow easier access. After removing the worn out parts Jim thought of ways to soak up the slop in the linkage post. Thats when the teflon tape idea shot to his head. He used it to take up the looseness caused by poor machining on his custom bearing supported linkage post. He slid the slop free post back into place He inspected the worn Tierod he removed yesterday. He found that the stock end was rubbing away on the skid plate. He found the little Traxxas ends left over from my Clod build up. New vs. Old He reassembled the tierod ends and drag link and put them back into place. I helped him button up the rest of the truck so he could start adapting the wheels. Jim dropped the wheel hex into position after centering it with a stub axle and placing a drop of ca. He then started mixing up some JB Weld. He welded the wheel hub in place. He was exhausted after all this work so he got tired and went to the Bruiser. More Later... |

The plan is to make some rock sliders like this. Jim might work on cutting off that rocker panel lip with the slots in it tonight. I bought some Mapp gas Yesterday. I'll stop and pick up some raw materials and Brazing wire tonight. |

I wanted to ask Jim a question. If you could relay it to him I would appreciate it. Does Jim know that he can,after you knock the bulk of the dirt off, stick his rig in the Dishwasher and it cleans all that junk off pretty well? Makes it look like new. I use this method often, just remove the electroncis of course. |
