Hmm.. I haven't been doing much with this thing lately. The first time I drove it I balled up the foam inside the rubber tires. Of course they were glued, and, therefore, now they are junk. I bought some "soft" foams. They helped a lot as far as ballooning and such. However unless it is 90* outside I have little or no traction even with the 4wd re-attached. Not just during acceleration, but in corners as well. I almost always spin out; I probably could slow down but where's the fun in that?

Speaking of slowing down, I am going to need that second brake disc. The fade is so bad after I've been driving it a while. Are there any "mods" that use more resilient rotors/pads?

I need to support the body somehow. I can't drive with it on because it shakes violently in all directions. It's an easy fix but I don't have the parts right now. This project requires my attention once again, since I never really finished it in the first place...
