Thanks Richard, maybe get in some tuning this week at miramar?

Maybe, my rig in in pieces :lmao: Later in the week should be no issue. Weds or Thurs.

Pieces? What did you break now?:lmao:

VP tranny cases coming today, playing around with shocks, and I am having front motor issues as of Saturday, I need to tear it down.

Cool, let me know when you want to go? Ill probably get out tue for some rock time. Im really curious to see what its capable of to start with."thumbsup"

If I can get it together tonight and my front motor is not toast I am game to crawl tomorrow.

I crawled npb Friday and Saturday and with out John's compressor there I am willing to be my motor is full of sand. Everything else is...

I meant to check it out yesterday, but my back pain meds had me asleep ALL day.

i may buy those from ya "thumbsup" going the other way....rebuilding my fb sporty rig for those fun fill in nights

Wait in line sir. I may need his 300's (I sold mine to his son) for a FB sporty build :flipoff:

I was wondering when you were going to post this up. Now its time to prove yourself.

Im just hoping to bring it home Sunday, in one piece:lmao:

:flipoff:why play that card:lmao: i would not be worried about breaking that rig..just do your thing!!

Do I need to get hardened pins for the mann gears?
What pinions/motors are other people running? What track width (tire outside to outside) front and rear? Thanks for the help

45t 14/12.i think them pins are fine.350 up front 225 on the rear..

I am still running stock(drilled) gears and stock pins. Almost a year now with no problems. (knock, knock, knock)

But i have seen you and Richardgarrett56 both drive, you guys are smooth. I still have the "gas it, it will come out of there" attitude. But im trying to change my style"thumbsup"

Well finally got it out on some rocks for a shakedown run, got a few scratches on the axles"thumbsup"

Looks good. Well? Do you like it?

Hell yes, i like it. Only got about 10 mins on the rocks today. I still need to learn the front AND rear digs"thumbsup" Im digging it:)

Boy are you lucky with that solder failure, 10 minutes on the rocks with a brand new rig, it coulda been on fire! How were the rock at Markam?

After a closer look at your pics, use a piece of 1/4" delrin rod to tie the shocks together, at least the fronts. I worry about breaking the front off the chassis with out it as the chassis was designed with a cross member in that spot.

Since we can't get new ones of we break them now, error on the side of caution. I have a bunch of 1/4" delrin rod if you are out to save you an order. Let me know and I will cut some for you tonight and bring it tomorrow along with your v2 CO caps for big bores.
