Said wing...
We will see how long it lasts, I mounted it on a piece of lexan, so it should flex down in a roll over.

Went bashing today with my brother in law, and his 2wd slash. Run time was excellent, and she did some serious jumping. In the drag race on pavement we were neck and neck, jumping both trucks were equal, hillclimbs 4wd for the win.
I did take some major hits while jumping, one in particular made us cringe, no broken parts. Yay! Thought I had some carnage, but the buggy just wasn't going into gear,lol

Playing in my yard, this buggy can do it all! I am wearing in a small track in the front yard.
Also tried on some buggy rims and tires, narrowed the track a full inch.

I put another pack through the buggy tonight. I tried the buggy tires, forgot they needed to be glued, lol. It actually handeled good until the tire came off the bead.
So I threw on the falcon crawler tires, wow were they out of balance, sidewalls folded over on every corner, causing the buggy to roll on several ocasions. Yeah not going to run them again, until I get new foams..

Found this on RPP today... Vaterra Flat Body Panels (Hood and Roof): TWH. For those of you wanting to rid yourself of the molded light bars.

Broke 7 teeth on my spur gear this morning, lol. It was making noise yesterday, bouncing rocks, and slamming gear is not good with a locked out slipper. In the ,mean time I started on a U4 course.
Post 2,000, yay!

Got the old out...
New is in, hard to tell the difference, but the red slipper pads say it.

More work on the track...
Whoops. Currently only 4, going for 10- 12.
And the rock garden, it is difficult, but not impassible. Out of 10 laps or so I got stuck twice, and had to reverse out of sticks about 4 times.

How about a better picture of those whoops...
They are about 4"s deep and uneven enough to really upset the chassis.
My rear shocks need thicker oil!

Carnage!
I went out and beat on my rig today with my brother in law, and his slash. He killed his third motor, I broke both CVD pins in the front axles. Still have rwd, but nothing up front.

Time for some of Irie's axles!
If you need to you can also replace those pins with either music wire or chunk of cut down drill bit shanks. I've done both (with other rigs...have yet kill a CVD with my TH), both work well, and usually the ball on the shaft or any necked down sections are the next weak point.

Yeah I plan on running some good drill bit pins, stock lasted a month of running 1-2 packs a day, so some drill bits should last for a while more. Sir Irie may be getting some more money...

I really like the track. Showed my wife your pictures and she said "No!"

Thanks, maybe a rock garden?
In other news I replaced the pins with .062 music wire, 3 3' pieces for $2.29. Should be enough to provide a lifetime of pins.
So back to 100%.

I have been playing with upper link positions, I lowered them down 1 hole. The front seems to lift more, and it seems I have less steering.I am going to move them back up to see if there is that difference.
