Its called Miramar Park in south Florida. The traction is unreal, you can almost go vertical! It is one hell of a comp spot.

I am for the moment, but only in the rear and they are temporary. I am thinking I'm going to make some out of white delrin soon.

That is crazy! I wish I'd still been there to see that. I don't think my lowers will snap, the rear uppers on the other hand.... Are getting replaced tonight.

I sent the 5/16" delrin with DickyT today. I still have a little more if you need some.

Had a really bad day at the Local points series. Just went from bad to worse when this happened:


DickyT helped me tear the rear axle apart and rebuild it at the table. Stabbed himself with a screwdriver trying to get the bearings off the spool. Did have fun tho, check it out:
















Thanks to Billj for the pics.

Got some 3 1/2 in BigBores and some CO shock caps to replace the axial shocks. I'd be doing this tonight but I don't have the Revo ends or the hardware. One night this week I will have to do a full shock rebuild. Thanks DickyT

Thanks Billj, got the links done just now. They're not white, but much appreciated. So much better than the stockers.

What was the situation that tore up the gears. Just curious what the truck was doing when it happened.

I'd imagine something pretty gnarly. I know how abusive I am on mine, stock everything, and its never broke.
