I'm not sure, I think Eritex... I actually just sold them 2 days ago!

Here's a few pics from our gtg the other day. We went out to check out this spot and followed it up the next weekend with a comp


Hang on Melons!


A little wheel speed and we're almost there!

FEEL THE POWER!

I just picked up a used HH 14T Puller.
I bought it to put in Hera but I want to see if I can cram it in Melons...
Right now, I'm running the largest dia. spur gear I can fit in the Summit trans. I know as is, the motor will not fit because it'll run into the front driverside shock tower. I'm wondering how small a spur I will need to run to get the puller to clear the shock tower... If I do this, I'm assuming the Puller will make up for the loss of torque from running a smaller spur... I hope.

are you using CVD's in the front or the dog bones? I ask mostly because I am having a heck of a time keeping pins in my CVDs. I started using hex wrenches and sheered them off as well.

Yes, I'm currently running MIP cvd's with Gunnar pins.
I've had a few issue with sheering pins. I had heat shrink on both but it got tore up. I need to get some more.
I believe the Axial cvd's have a metal sleeve to hold the pins in. I was running those but snaped the hole that the pin goes in... which I guess is a testament to the Gunnar pins.


DL, I know man... I love it down there! I can't wait to run that trail again!
We gotta thank Trey

Gunnar CVD/Axle pins

Make sure you tell him exactly what pin you need cause he makes a bunch of different versions.

Ha! You just did! I'm glad everyone likes it! I saw another spot from the air when I was landing at O'Hare on Tuesday, I need to go scope it out. We also need to go over to the Cicero side at Foster and see what's there.

alright alright!
Here's what I'm going with for now and if I don't like it... I'll paint the outside black

Metallic Black and Fiery Orange. I'm going to use the backing black after a few more coats of orange... this is one coat of orange, four black.
The Buxom Melons stickers line up with the strips.

We're having a comp this Sunday... in several inches of snow
I put my front axle back together last night. I had borrowed the VP knuckles and MIP axles from Melons to put in my FOFF rig for vacation.
I installed a Highland locker in the front axle, it seems to have gone in straight this time.

After the comp, I want to install a set of VP Zero Ackerman knuckles I picked up.

It doesn't have runs in it but it's not perfect because I'm very impatient!
I ran out of masking tape and used scotch tape in a few spots when I was masking off the black lines... it didn't come off clean and left some residue in a few spots... I don't think it looks bad, just not perfect.

The rear motor area isn't done yet.

Buxom Melons ran great today, I only hit 1 gate on my second run

We're still waiting for scores...
