[QUOTE=Exocaged;4238064]That's really clean. So you took the plastic case off the esc to save a couple grams?[/QUOTE
I also took the brass posts off that the wires solder to,Plus it takes up alot less room.

Well after two differant outings with the creeper and 7 batteries I've had zero issues with it,Evan the two tiny bearings in the knuckles are holding up great.The over driven front ring & pinion are working better than I thought.I've gotton rid of 95% of the torque twist.

The only thing I've done since the video is ground some of the webing from around the front & rear pumpkins.

Well I fainly got around to making the rear axle weights for the HR lockouts, they hold 2oz of weight per side.Now I have no weight in the tires and an even lower cog.

Really nice looking weights Jerry...now if we could only figure out how to do that for the front axel....

We'd have to buy you a vendor star...

Sundays comp was not a good day for the Venoms,2 Venoms took the last 2 positions.I think mine needs a new driver,Rodeo's had drive line problems.
I think the main problem is the way the transmission sits below the chassis side plates,Ive got an idea on how to cure this problem I'll post up as I work on it.

Well after 3 month of looking at this tranny and a few more outings I've decided to rework the suspension alittle and work with my weights.
I was able to buy the prototype creeper beef tubes from Dan.I installed them in my rear axle there was zero problems and they fit perfectly and there is some heft in these tubes I wanted the extra weight in the rear.
