Yea, I am having bad luck with the Cougar/Poulson combo also.

PM Mike P., he should be able to get you a set of 4 quickly. If not, I have some, but would need them replaced as the axles are to be delivered in about 10 days (am selling them).

It did well (11th on Saturday, 13th on Sunday and 10th place overall)considering that each course was very different in design, I just ran out of time on alot of the em'. Very long and technical but very doable. Now I have a good idea of what it does and does not do.

That was with the panthers and rock hammer foams and no I did not break a thing, got wedge pretty good one time on the first and thought the rear wheel was gonna rip off the axle but it held and finished the course.

Thanks, they have been working well now that I have gotten used to them a bit.

I have made some changes since WCCC. First off was a new motor plate thanks to 73mule and his fine workmanship. Nice and stout no more movement.


Next up was to move my front upper links out to try and combat the passanger tire from lifting on steep climbs. At the same time I am running slightly softer rear springs and slightly firmer fronts with a slower compression rate. So what does it all mean? Worked like a charm, no more lifting of the fronts on those steep a$$ climbs and it took 1st place at San Diego Summer Series comp.#2 last wekend.


I just received some Comp Rings in the mail from Vanquish Products yesterday so those will be replacing the OG rings on my Revolvers. Thanks Steve.
