I love the way the whole setup came out,like i said..hopefully they hold?...heres some pics of them in weightnow its on to weighing the front?...i had these aluminum slugs laying around that i scooped up from a job i had done and i have a icrazy idea of how to mount them..heres a pic next to a nickel so you can see the size...im going to drill a hole in the center of them and screw them to the shock mounts on the axles one on each side..i'll post pics in a little when done. |

Well this is what i wanted to try,dont know how well this will work but it does add weight to the front..as you can see in the pics 2 way 1 oz and i could actually squeeze 3 on each side if i wanted to for a total of 3 oz's..dont know how much you guys run up front with sevens knuckle weights with the vanquish slugs but this is something i will try and see how it works. |

Nice work on those tires. They should hold well as long as you made sure to use the right CA glue and ran a nice bead on the inside of all seams. BTW, it looks like you have the room to narrow your stance a bit....you might look for a set of narrower hubs. |
