In OH we have to build crawling areas, or there are not many choices.

that is far and away the best personal rock pile that I've ever seen. Looks like a great testing ground. I have to drive 4 minutes to my first park of standards, and then 8 minutes to my second. Nothing like a backyard bash though.

From here it is an hour to good rocks. Everything else is dumped rip rap, which is good practice for technical driving.

I got started on the gears and found they are not nearly as hard and tough as the B1 gears. This made me nervous, so they didn't get the full treatment. I did get a 1/4 Ti tube and drill the final gear to mate them together with sleeve retainer. I may also drill through the gear and tube at the bearing surface to pin it. I have had good luck with the Loctite 660 and will try it without the pin first.

Made some more weights for the rear. They are about 3/4 ounce a piece. I like mine with a little more meat on the hind quarters. Sorry about the first pic. It's a little blurry.

With these axles being a little heavier than the XR axles I had been using for so long I have not felt the need for weight out back, rear feels good. Are these weights to compensate for weight you are removing from other areas of the rear axle?

I am a little late to the bandwagon but I too love your rock pile. I am wishing you lived in NC! I wonder what it would cost to get some boulders dumped in my backyard...

The weights are adding stability to the rear. You are spot on with the compensation. I like to make it lighter then put it back where it makes a difference.
