Hey Pete, Bertha looks like she is ready to rip some rock. Does the rear axles help keep the rear planted, and make side hilling a little smoother?
Ernie,

Ah oh, almost time to try some axial unis. I have no idea yet if they are going to be stronger. But it is a option different than what you have now.

Ernie,
Yes, it's time.

If they are as good as my Wraith kit universals, then they are stronger. If they are like some of the later Wraith universals...they are not.

I can just hear Bertha screaming for more weight up front!!!
I did a little tweaking on the weighted knuckle today so they will fit your chubs. I also put some stops on so the steering can't past 70 degrees. You can tweak them if you want, but Erik suggest that they be on the knuckles. The unis are up at Lunsford racing, I will going up there on Tuesday and should be able to ship out on Wednesday. I'll send some pics when I get them together.
Ernie,

Is that good or bad. Is the front more reactive?
