I wasn't making fun, I put rollers on mine and it works great. I've had rollers sence I started crawling, all my rigs have them.

Rollers,hmmmm never thought of that. Thats using your noodles there. Either rollers or delrin would help. I think overall BTA would be best. Now,if I can just get the time.

Yes,it'll be straight axles like Barts picture. I brought them home from work tonight,maybe I'll sneek out there and install them before bed.

After running this set up with no rear steer and front dig,I've gone back to rear steer. It worked really well in some spots. The rear steer was more benificial to me at this wheelbase. With the universals I'm using,4 wheel steering will still turn sharper than it would with dig. I'll try to get a few pictures up after our comp Saturday.

I'll have to say though,I'm VERY pleased with the chassis itself. Probably one of the best TVP chassis's I've run in super class to date.

Well,I started out doing really well I thought. By the end of course 1,I was REALLY pleased with the way it was working. About 15 seconds left on the clock and aproaching the final gate.....the damn spur gear let loose. Unfortunatly,all the gears I had with me....I had zero options for getting it back together....had to take a DNF for the remaining courses.

Thanks Chip. Other than keeping a box of spur gears on hand,I think the only thing I need is a good set of rubbers and she'd be dialed.
