The revised diff mount and skid plate seem to have worked. Have done a couple of short runs in fairly rocky areas without a single issue so hopefully problem solved.
Finally got around to gluing up the new tires today.
Stock vs new mounted on inner bead. Gluing on the inner bead is difficult but having two ppl makes it easier.
Balanced the wheels by taking out a dogbone and counter balancing where the bottom of the wheel rested.
I was going to stick on these downhill racer weights to do the balancing but they were difficult to break apart and very hard. I would have had to dremel each one to the desired weight.
I ended up just using blutack as i have done in the past. It never moves and makes balancing a breeze, just break off what is needed to balance and stick on, done. If only it came in black

I'm going out for a drive tomorrow and my camera woman is coming with me. So hopefully i can post a vid soon.
