Screw that rear steer. Going fast means no need to turn that tight.

Very cool score

Doesn't mean I always have to use it. I'll put lock outs on the rear when its not in use and unhook the servo. Rear steer is used on a good bit of the 1:1 KOH rigs. I've helped on a few other them and you just have to remember not to touch the stick when you are going 110mph though the lake bed. Lol

Going to try if I am not slammed for work and can get a few to head out there with me. I had plans to go last year and then everyone bailed out so the cost of getting my rzr4 out there and a motorhome wasn't going to be pretty just for me.

This thing is still around? I can't believe it's held up for over four years, it was one of my first chassis I built.

Yep. They call it hammer town village. There are probably a few thousand people there. Better rent a motorhome cause tent camping is going to suck since its cold and windy as shit out there

I read it was Cold and Windy. Can't be Colder and more wind than "The Windy City"


I didn't want it to cost that kind of motor-home pricing.

Split between 5 or 6 people it isn't to bad. I think it was like 85 per person per night. Defiantly worth having a shower and a nice bed to sleep in rather than getting pounded by sand all the time.

Didn't effect anything this weekend on the trail. Will see how it is on the rocks.
