Couldn't see it clear enough in the pics, are you using solid or tube steel? I'm assuming solid since you are using a MIG..... TKS |

This is VERY true bout the weight. For the shear size of Bart's rig the thing is pretty damn light so far. I am thinkin that when it's said an done though, the nitro will be a smidge heavier than the SUMBEACH (my wreckluse).

Wow this build is wicked! Definitely can't wait to see some vids in action! I wish here in Houston we have the terrain for huge hill climbs where FOFF rigs could contend. Any idea of how heavy this baby is once she's rtr? |

whats that old stock arm doing on that axle  i bet you used it as a spacer for the Supershafty mounts didn't ya!looks great man. i am really interested to see how you do the track bar. i had quite the time mounting mine on the SC truck with the twin force axle. looks very good though. are you going to have a three link system ont he axles? or just the ladder system like it is with the track bar? (i think i am confusing myself) |

That small drive line going to the rear axle. Do you think it will look like a jump rope at 30?????? RPM. Scary  . not that it wont work. Just looks strange.By the way you struck a deep vain with me. I love two strokes. The sound and the smell of fuel. Fawk yes. Nitro will be my next step. When she is done lets see a video with great sound. Evan |

Yup they finally showed up. Kansas City is 5hrs from me and it took them a week to show up. They were cheap though. There was a Japanese fellow in the large scale section that built a rig and used them for trac bar mounts. I can't take full credit for the idea. It's a good one though right The last 2 pics are of full droop too, in case anyone is interested. |

I don't want to be anywhere near that thing when it launches. Beast!! BTW, the ladder bar set up should be the ticket. Last edited by JeepinDoug; 06-12-2011 at 08:52 PM. |
