I am going at a slow pace but so far it's going good. I just do a little bit in evenings when I get a couple of minutes. The knuckles are very nice and should really help out. I have been working with a guy down the road on setting up a course. He started last year by himself but I have been helping out this year. It's going to be a nice area

"LIKES" Wish I had room for something like that near me. There is a river bank nearby but its pretty rough and a public area so anything I did would be wrecked.

Thanks for the great comments That's just a small portion of what is there. We are try to use all the natural rock and terrain. We are only using trees that have been knocked down due to bad weather. As it developes I will be posting more pictures

Nice course!

I have to ask...every time I see your username I wonder how you came up with it. So what's the story if you don't mind sharing?

About 15yrs was at a benefit race (carpet off road) that I helped set up for a guy that passed away at the track in the parking lot It was a long day of racing (15hrs) I was helping some of the younger kids around the air compressor to blow all the carpet fuzz. The one kid accidentally pointed the nozzle me way and got covered with fuzz. It was a good laugh.
After racing some of decided to hit the local beaver bar ( where the girls wear nothing but a smile) After the one girl finished her dance on me when she sat back on the stage I noticed her smooth ceramic floor got covered by astroturf I had to point out that fact to her trying not laugh but that wasn't happening. She stated calling me Carpetfuzz the rest of the night after that it just stuck oh oh oh the rest of the night was a blast

Better than I expected although it involves one of the female body parts I imagined. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Nothing wrong with moving slowly. That makes the build last longer!

Good addition on the SSD knuckles.

As promised the front axle weight. It's a great start on some down low weight

Yes they did very well with this little kit. I actually have a clear body that I am going to be doing up.
